​the man in mirror

[Intro]
You tell me that silence
Is nearer to peace than poems
But if for my gift
I brought you silence
(for I know silence)
You would say
This is not silence
This is another poem
And you would hand it back to me

[Verse 1]
Gift is a life in which you see the memories you want to live
The man in mirror doesn't believe in his conscious guilt
Yet he wanna make them proud just like his mama did with him
(And still do)
Gift is the perspective of someone who can't get it together
The man in mirror doesn't trust himself under the weather
Yet he wanna make them feel bad like his father did with him
(He died three years ago)

[Verse 2]
Perhaps gift could be an awakening of the sounds of quiet whistles
The man in mirror can't handle being sent into a mood of abyssal
Yet he wanna leave them in shadows like his family did with him
(He doesn't even know the names of his other cousins)
And maybe I should know
Gift is I can wake up and breathe
Put warm food in me
Yet I wanna push my *** off like all of my friends do
With me (I love y'all)

[Outro]
Restrained
In my own pipe dream digging
In the trash for the meaning of vitality

[Instrumental]
