MIRRORS (New Song By Me)

The main song of the new Side B songs, this one was meant to capture the Im Not Okay feeling, while mixing it with the feeling of being a reject, being super-stressed, and singing/screaming to the mirror XD so tell me whatchya think? does it capture the Im Not Okay feel well enough? :)

MIRRORS
____

For how we always happened to “just fall”
Recall all those happy pills I took today
MIRROR- MIRROR- ON THE WALL…
Do I look okay?! Do I look okay?!

Silently asking if all is well…
YELLING TO THE MIRROR!!!
AS IF IT COULD HEAR HER!!!
She’s too deep down in Hell…

The mirror made me go through it!
“…I didn’t think I’d actually do it!!!”
Got a feeling I’m massacre materiel-
Not just Night Killers, we’re Serial!!!

Listening to all the never-ending questions from the shrink…
Apparently you’re crazy since you pissed in the sink…
“Maybe I’m Clinically Insane but I don’t care what you think-
…PLEASE STOP TELLING ME TO LOOK AT THE INK!!!”

Look! These holes in my cliché white-walls are like inkblots…
Please turn off the white noise, it’s just INHUMANE!!!
I feel better than ever! The voices in my head are all I’ve got…
It’s my IMAGINARY FRIENDS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!

Pulling up all your Daisies (“YOU DOWN IN HELL… YOU’RE FREE!!!”)
Teenagers are fuckin’ crazy (“Look at this an tell me what you see”)
Screaming in that scary way (Won’t look away from the Inkblot.)
That says “this kid’s not okay” (Don’t ask if I’m okay…I’M NOT!!!)

For how we always happened to “just fall” (Pulling up all your Daisies)
Recall all those happy pills I took today (Teenagers are fuckin’ crazy)
MIRROR- MIRROR- ON THE WALL… (Screaming in that scary way)
Do I look okay?! Do I look okay?! (That says “this kid’s not okay)

HONESTLY… Can’t you see all the signs?!…
Or maybe, is it just me?
I’m meant to live ‘til at least twenty-nine!!!
I’m fine… TRUST ME!!!

My old room was anyways too hollow… (All the sorry’s I never said) (Am I okay)
Close my eyes and I’m back at home!!! (I’m not dead! -I’m not dead!) (I’M OKAY)
All alone, I’ll be okay tomorrow… (Tomorrow can’t also be all alone)(Am I Okay)
I can live just fine on my own!!! (Turn back time and I’m back home) (I’M OKAY)

Here’s a toast to the ghosts we left behind…
Goodbye to all the times I’ve lost my mind…
DEAR… DON’T WORRY!!! I’ll be Fine…
How many times I’ve heard that line…

La-La La-La-Liar-LIAR! (Voices inside me.)

For how we always happened to “just fall” (Liar!!! Liar!!! Not just tired!!!)
Remember waiting for the end, all day. (“I PROMISE NOT TO STAY AWAKE…”)
MIRROR- MIRROR- ON THE WALL… (Feel like you’re buried in Barbed Wire…)
Do I look okay?! Do I look okay?! (“Mirror… I’M NOT OKAY- I’M NOT OKAY!!!”)

Why ask, you already know our answer
“‘CAUSE I DON’T FEEL SO FUCKING HOT”
I’ll Masquerade though I’m no Dancer…
We smile while looking at each inkblot…

…Forget about the honesty, it isn’t even real…
Laughing on the inside when they ask how you feel…
Remember all the awkward moments like when they found-
The Reason Why you were Asleep, and Couldn’t make a Sound!!!

“Oh Honey mistakes happen” They “Fall” from the thirteenth floor…
Your parents LAUGHIN’!!! Never seen ‘em LAUGH BEFORE!!!
And what was so FUNNY?! “We were SO CLOSE!!!”
…“Just an “Odd” Prescription-Overdose…”

All the anger and anxiety-
I’m just silhouette and bone…
In this suicide-Inducing-Society…
At least let me have some time alone!!!

Pulling up all your Daisies (“YOU DOWN IN HELL… YOU’RE FREE!!!”)
Teenagers are fuckin’ crazy (“Look at this an tell me what you see”)
Screaming in that scary way (Won’t look away from the Inkblot.)
That says “this kid’s not okay” (Don’t ask if I’m okay…I’M NOT!!!)

NA-NA NA-NA-NOT-OKAY! ("Inside voices please.")

For how we always happened to “just fall” (Okay) (I’m Not Okay.)
Remember waiting for the end, all day. (Not Okay) (I’m Not Okay!)
MIRROR- MIRROR- ON THE WALL… (OKAAAAAY…) (I’m Not Okay.)
Do I look okay?! Do I look okay?! (NOT OKAAAAY!!!) (I’m Not Okay!)
