Green Room Confessions

Verse 1 Lights flash, I’m a ghost in my own show, Smile in the mirror, but inside I’m feelin' low, (woah) Got dreams like maps, but they tangled and torn, Tellin' stories on stage, but my truth feels worn. Chasin' likes, but my soul's in the backseat, Fingers crossed, hopin' my truth won’t crack heat, (nah) A million plays don’t replace the feelin' of doubt, Spillin' secrets in rhymes that I never shout. Hook/Chorus In the green room, I’m fighting with my mind, (fight!) Behind closed doors, the silence is unkind, (shh) Confessions like whispers, secrets in the night, Out of sight, come alive in the lines I write. (uh) Verse 2 Mirror, mirror, what's the truth in your eyes? (tell me) Behind the glitz, man, there's fear I can't disguise, (fear!) Thought I’d be free, but I’m chained to this stage, (yeah) All the fame got me trapped in a gilded cage. Every bar a step, but the path feels dense, Heartbeats loud, playin' like I’m on the fence, (hey!) Words spill out, but my heart is on freeze, Ain't nobody knowin’ me, just a puppet on keys. Hook/Chorus In the green room, I’m fighting with my mind, (fight!) Behind closed doors, the silence is unkind, (shh) Confessions like whispers, secrets in the night, Out of sight, come alive in the lines I write. (uh) Verse 3 Should I give ‘em real? Or stick to the charade? (real!) Got a battle in my soul like a game of charades, (uh) Prayin' for freedom like it's candy I crave, But all these confessions won’t help me behave. Escapin' my thoughts in the mic’s warm embrace, Yet every lyric's just shadow, can’t find my place, (where?) So here’s to the moments I never let fly, In this green room, I cry before I say bye. (bye!) Outro So next time you see me, just know it’s a fight, A green room confessor, lost in the light. (light)
