[Verse 1]

Gunfight in the hippocampus

I chased you through the Saharabellum like “Freeze”

Medulla oblongata, “Freeze”

Full frontal lobe, yuk, please

Hands up, just “Freeze”


[Chorus]

I don’t wanna kill myself now

On such a beautiful day

I don’t wanna kill myself now

On such a beautiful day


[Post-Chorus]

I can’t run away from my own mind

I know that’s super obvious, I’m older

Mirror mirror, sorry, but I got to kill you

Mirror, mirror, don’t act like you feel my spirit

Bang, bang, drop with the shot

May I murder you, Mr. Misery?


[Break]

You, in my brain

Is it he or is it me?


[Pre-Chorus]

We just the same, hands up!

We just the same, hands up!

We- we just the same, hands up!

We- we just the same, hands up!


[Chorus]

I don’t wanna kill myself now

On such a beautiful day

I don’t wanna kill myself now

On such a beautiful day


[Bridge]

I come in pieces like friendly fire

Kill ‘em with love instead

My war chest hold a broken heart

Kill 'em with love, with love


[Post-Chorus]

I can’t run away from my own mind

I know that's super obvious, I’m older

Mirror mirror, sorry, but I got to kill you

Mirror, mirror, don’t act like you feel my spirit

Bang, bang, drop with the shot, with the shot, with the shot
