A Little Too Familiar (Sampled Track)

[Verse 1] You cut me up for parts Then called it fresh Same grin, same bounce Same borrowed chest Too many traces Too many ghosts One chorus later You sound the most Like somebody else In a thrift-store fit Every new idea Got a stitched-up drip You keep that shine Like it’s still yours But the mirror cracks When the crowd gets bored [Pre-Chorus] I hear the mimic I smell the repeat You wear that costume Like a second skin on beat Say it loud, say it proud But it’s been said before You keep on reaching For the same old drawer [Chorus] A little too familiar A little too familiar You keep that ghost line On the edge of your smile A little too familiar A little too familiar All that borrowed fire Just dies after a while [Verse 2] Every hook feels rented Every line too neat Like a polished echo Trying to pass for heat You got the same old bounce Same sweet pose But the whole damn room Already knows You want the shine Without the scars Want a gold-back grin On a paper card But paper burns fast When the truth comes through And the whole crowd leans Like they’re looking at you [Pre-Chorus] I hear the mimic I smell the repeat You wear that costume Like a second skin on beat Say it loud, say it proud But it’s been said before You keep on reaching For the same old drawer [Chorus] A little too familiar A little too familiar You keep that ghost line On the edge of your smile A little too familiar A little too familiar All that borrowed fire Just dies after a while [Bridge] Face in the mirror What do you see? A stack of old shadows Pretending to be free You can slap on gloss You can change the pitch Still got somebody else In every twist Let it break Let it show If it ain’t your blood Then I already know [Chorus] A little too familiar A little too familiar You keep that ghost line On the edge of your smile A little too familiar A little too familiar All that borrowed fire Just dies after a while
