Calling my name a thousand times
Until I focus
Look in the mirror
Tell me what you notice

Smile
Hide it all
You look fine
Brush your hair
You soothe your thoughts that way
Don't look into those eyes
You'll see too much

Focus
Man focus
Forget about it
They don't care
Where's your smile
Smile
Wipe your face

Hey, ignore it
Wash your face
Smile
There you go
Now breathe

Don't shoot.
