The me in the mirror

[Verse 1]
Seventeen and I still don't have my permit
I made an album and an EP, maybe you heard it
They sounded just like a sixteen year old made them, because one did
Deep down I wish they'd get a million streams so I could make it big

[Pre-Chorus]
I just can't see myself in a nine-to-five feeding the machine
Not incapable or self-sustainable, I'm somewhere in-between
I'm so terrified of fending for myself at the age of eighteen
If I dropped down dead to the floor, would my story go unseen

[Chorus]
No need to take it out on, take it out on me
You need to think about what, think about what you mean
You think your words hurt me, but you're just the me in the mirror
(Micah Callari)

[Verse 2]
Spend all my time in my room to escape
What can I say, oxymorons have always been my fave
I try not to be dramatic even when I'm not in my best state
I just wait until my time, I wait, and I wait, and I wait

[Pre-Chorus]
I just can't see myself in a nine-to-five feeding the machine
Not incapable or self-sustainable, I'm somewhere in-between
I'm so terrified of fending for myself at the age of eighteen
If I dropped down dead to the floor, would my story go unseen

[Chorus]
No need to take it out on, take it out on me
You need to think about what, think about what you mean
You think your words hurt me, but you're just the me in the mirror
And you can't get me if I don't let you let me get me

No need to take it out on, take it out on me
You need to think about what, think about what you mean
You think your words hurt me, but you're just the me in the mirror
And you can't get me if I don't let you let me get me
(Let me get me, let me get me)
(Nothing)

[Break]
(Let me get me, let me get me)
(Let me get me, let me get me)
(Let me get me, let me get me)
(Let me get me, let me get me)
(Let me get me, let me get me)
(Let me get me, let me get me)
(Let me get me, let me get me)
(Let me get me, let me-)

[Outro]
Too many problems in my life
Too tired to care
If I told them they create strife
They'd probably stare
I'm trying to space out and soothe
'Cause I need to stop the reeling
Hide from all my friends and the truth
And I emulate a feeling
