Metamorphosis Songtext
von James Laurent

I can′t pass by my own reflection
Without giving into introspection
New hair, new nails, new muscles, new me
But I feel like a shell of who I used to be
I changed my sound and I changed my name
With the slightest hopes of changing up the game
I lit my flame, and I dropped my shame
Cause every ounce of fame
Comes with a pound of pain

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Show me what I look like when I risk it all
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Is the price of fame really worth this all


Everyday I see a stranger in the mirror
And success looks like a bullet drawing nearer
Paint the walls with the blood that I've given for you
I′m on TV because I gave up watching TV with you
No one tells you not to look inside the mirror
When you gave it all up to see it clearer
Looking down I see the pain that helped to build me up
But the man in the mirror says it's not enough

Some days it's not enough to lie
Convince myself that I′ll be alright
I haven′t seen the place where I grew up
Cause people there kept saying that I'm not enough
My mom says that she′s proud of me
And now there's people crowding me
Same people that were doubting me
I′m thinking that I'll be alright
I think it′s going to my vanity
And eating at my sanity
Mirror grant me amnesty
I'm praying that I'll be alright

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Show me what I look like when I risk it all
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Is the price of fame really worth this all


Everyday I see a stranger in the mirror
And success looks like a bullet drawing nearer
Paint the walls with the blood that I′ve given for you
I′m on TV because I gave up watching TV with you
No one tells you not to look inside the mirror
When you gave it all up to see it clearer
Looking down I see the pain that helped to build me up
But the man in the mirror says it's not enough

Tell me, tell me it was worth it
I can′t help but feel worth it
Punk kid missing Milwaukee
But there's nothing there left for me

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Show me what I look like when I risk it all
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Is the price of fame really worth this all

Everyday I see a stranger in the mirror
And success looks like a bullet drawing nearer
Paint the walls with the blood that I′ve given for you
I'm on TV because I gave up watching TV with you
No one tells you not to look inside the mirror
When you gave it all up to see it clearer
Looking down I see the pain that helped to build me up
But the man in the mirror says it′s not enough
Everyday I see a stranger in the mirror
And success looks like a bullet drawing nearer
Paint the walls with the blood that I've given for you
I'm on TV because I gave up watching TV with you
No one tells you not to look inside the mirror
When you gave it all up to see it clearer
Looking down I see the pain that helped to build me up
But the man in the mirror says it′s not enough
