beings - A-1000

You talk big in your circles But your hands are always clean Throwing stones behind curtains Still actin’ like a king You say it's love, say it's truth But you’ve never faced the fire Always hiding in your youth Like a liar in a choir So take a look, no filters, no glow The mirror don’t lie — it shows what you don’t know Look in the mirror, look deep inside You can’t fake time, or where your soul hides You act your age but live like a child It’s time you see, you’ve been in denial You mock the pain you’ve never felt Flexing scars that you never earned You wear rebellion like a belt But keep the lessons unlearned You measure worth by loudest voice But wisdom whispers in the dark You had a choice, you made noise And now your name’s a fading mark So take a look, no filters, no glow The mirror don’t lie — it shows what you don’t know Look in the mirror, look deep inside You can’t fake time, or where your soul hides You act your age but live like a child It’s time you see, you’ve been in denial I tried to speak, but silence grew You wear your mask — but I see through You’re not a god, you’re just a man Still scared to bleed, too proud to stand Beings of glass, pretending they’re steel But mirrors break what pride can’t heal
