Alex Wampler - Me and My Reflection

Me and my reflection
Have discrepancies
Cause I don't notice change
I just think of what I'll never be
And Even when I am
It won't ever feel the best of me
Cause I'm my biggest critic
Always listen to what I'm telling me
I can feel the pressure leave
When I'm wearing longer sleeves
It Hides my body comfortably
And gives the space I need to breathe
So patiently I wait to see my weight
Until I go to eat
In hopes I feel okay to be
Alone with all the feelings
I have of loathing me

Me and my reflection
Is Fueling my depression
I can't run away
From the fear I have undressing
I Look in every mirror
Just to calm my own obsession
And every time I see it
It's another new impression
Me and My reflection
Has always got me stressing
I can't look away
I never see my own progression
I study every picture
But I never learn my lesson
Cause every time I see it
It's another new expression

Looking at myself
Can you tell me what you see
Cause I know that there's a difference
My reflection lies to me
My dysmorphic memory
Anorexic tendencies
Has me counting every rib
Like I count these calories
Now I know
You got to find acceptance in yourself
But tell me who could love me
If I never love myself
A constant damage to my health
It's hard to fight it I need help
I've been dodging my reflection
Like a lesson from the belt
But the bingeing's never ending
Till I'm purging then I'm out
My disordered form of eating
Formed from constant mental beatings
I was younger feelin empty
And the food would fill me up
Till they said I wasn't skinny
So I stared throwing up
Planted roots of all my problems
And I was too young to resolve them
They were too young to know how
All the shit they said would cause this
But I can't look at my reflection
Without these feelings of disgust
So no matter what I try
I'll just never feel enough

Me and my reflection
Is Fueling my depression
I can't run away
From the fear I have undressing
I Look in every mirror
Just to calm my own obsession
And every time I see it
It's another new impression
Me and My reflection
Has always got me stressing
I can't look away
I never see my own progression
I study every picture
But I never learn my lesson
Cause every time I see it
It's another new expression
