Текст песни Just a Reflection - Otaedoe

Trying to ascend from past rejection
Now it got me looking at my past & at myself, self i'm reflecting
Man that's in the mirror is me, stepping
Stare at it so long that I forget bout who I am
Just a reflection
(I am)
Just a reflection
(I am)
Just a reflection
(I am)
Just a reflection
(I am)
Just a reflection

Empty feelings lead to empty thoughts
I love me, I trust me, I tell em all
Say fuck me
I'm ugly, i'm nothing, i'm worthless, unholy, unruly, ungodly
Don't care at all
Empty feelings got me feeling small
Still demented with the pen
Stand on my words & watch how people think i'm standing tall
But I can't fold & I won't ever fall
Because I know my heart of gold
Is more than souls just shopping at the mall
It's more than, oh I think I know it all
Unleash the goal, move towards it slow with shoulders so abroad
And I can't help but to project
Don't know what I know yet
It's time to self protect, i'm feeling lost, I swear
Because they go, but I go off
And i'm still speaking soul to soul, try to connect, but it's sewn
Off

If you wanna know something about yourself 
Sit on your bed one night & say
"My life is not everything I want it to be, & perhaps it's not everything I need it to be..."
And by "need," I mean, my life is so unbearable that
The suffering that's attendant upon that'll make me nihilistic, cynical

Trying to ascend from past rejection
Now it got me looking at my past & at myself, self i'm reflecting
Man that's in the mirror is me, stepping
Stare at it so long that I forget bout who I am
Just a reflection
(I am)
Just a reflection
(I am)
Just a reflection
(I am)
Just a reflection
(I am)
Just a reflection

And
You ask yourself
What's one thing I'm doing wrong, that I know i'm doing wrong
That I could fix, that I would fix
You mediate on that, you'll get an answer & it won't be one you want
But it'll be the necessary one
