Relocation

[Verse 1]

This is what I think about when the door’s closed

Room full of mirrors, I sit on the floor

Contemplating my reflection under every angle

Too many feelings I can’t handle

They bounce on the wall and come back to haunt me

Don’t know how I’m still smiling, this ain’t even funny but believe me

After so much time spent in a room full of your flaws

It grows on you and you just get used to it

So bright outside, you can’t help but notice how little you shine

Smiling much, I use my every flaws as a disguise

I came to the conclusion by being foolish on purpose

No one can tell when you self-deprecate, you’re being serious


[Hook]

This is what I think about when the door’s closed

Empty gold ballroom and all my demons dancing

Thunderstorm and rain pouring, can’t we all dance to it

Nobody wants to come around, why put a fence to it

When the door’s closed (I can see it all with clarity) x4


[Verse 2]

I feel some type of way about myself right now

My goals hang to the ceiling, and I feel the box expanding

In a way, every time I jump I miss and fall harder

You don’t get credit for trying, why try at all

The mirrors converge, diverge and they distort my image

That was a metaphor for my own eyes, in case you didn’t get it

Pressurizing the room with my own negative energy

Wish I could break the walls and let it all out

People won’t say a thing about you until you fall out

Damn, I can see the light with the clarity

I know where I am, where I’m going, not what’s in between

How can I raise my self-esteem with no make-believes?

How do they do it? Are they born with it? Is it Maybelline

Man I’ve got too little motivation for too many dreams

I can see what’s outside, but I can’t find the door knob

If I said I love myself would that make me a fraud?
