Nu Breed - Mirror On My Wall lyrics

On a balcony with no rails
On the top floor like farewell
Not afraid to jump but you couldn't tell
Cause I'm shooken up, I'm afraid of myself
Let's take another step until I'm hangin off the edge
I can feel my heart beatin
Straight beatin through my chest
Got this pain in my head
That's all I got left
My blood and my flesh
My life and my death
Still chasing dreams but I'm too depressed
I'm overdoing on emptiness
Still praying for my deliverance
Still payin for my ignorance
And I'm feelin like I'm heaven sent
But what I'm livin is the opposite
Still can't quit... still can't quit... still can't quit... still can't quit

Cause I'm tired of all these hotels
This street life and these jail cells
And I ain't tryin to ride no coattails
I'ma find my way till my toenails
Break and bleed from these long trails
On these balconies with no rails
Come on

I climb any mountain
I walk through the valley of death
I can finally look at myself
The little bit that I have left
And say

It's been along time since you came around
And it's been a long time since I seen you smile
The last time I saw you
You was down on your luck
The last time I saw you
You was close to givin up
I'm talkin to this mirror
On my wall
I think it's time that I dust you off
Had to find myself or lose it all
I'm talkin to this mirror on my wall

I'm swimmin through this river
I'm streaming against the current
Plant my feet and stand tall
My head barely above the surface
Evil lurking down below me
And it's tugging on my gently
Tryin to drown me if I let it
But I refuse to let it temp me

I'm simply on a mission
And I'm gonna tell my story
So I'm climbing up that river bank to bask in my glory
I'm simply on a mission
And I'm gonna tell my story
So I'm climbing up that river bank to bask in my glory... yeah!

It's been along time since you came around
And it's been a long time since I seen you smile
The last time I saw you
You was down on your luck
The last time I saw you
You was close to givin up
I'm talkin to this mirror
On my wall
I think it's time that I dust you off
Had to find myself or lose it all
I'm talkin to this mirror on my wall

And I'm standing in front of my own reflection
My sea is behind me and many a lessons
And still remind me of severe depression
But many a blessings have come into essence
I'm changin my life and I'm resurrected
From ashes to to ashes
I'm forming a weapon
No stressin no recking
Just love and affection
Protecton from evil
Give people a message
That people ain't prefect
No need for perfection to feed what your facin
Got dreams that you chasin
No sleep and erasing
Embracing the moment
Increasing the pace
And then patiently waiting for standing ovation
The feeling's amazing!
The feeling's amazing!
Come on

It's been along time since you came around
And it's been a long time since I seen you smile
The last time I saw you
You was down on your luck
The last time I saw you
You was close to givin up
I'm talkin to this mirror
On my wall
I think it's time that I dust you off
Had to find myself or lose it all
I'm talkin to this mirror on my wall
