Narcissist

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got a problem that's hard to fix I gotta be honest, I'm a narcissist When somebody says I'm dope as shit or that my arts legit Then the dopamine starts to hit And I thought it was my artist wish but Ever since I was a kid, my conceitedness was hard to miss In grade school I would throw a tantrum Even smack a bitch Cause I needed to be the smartest kid And all the hacks would attack armed with whips and bad words Everybody laughed at the abjectly sad nerd I had to prove I was better so I put in the effort to be cleverer But I think I had it backwards Now I'm doing shows east to west and They shower me with praise, say I'm gifted, X Men I question it, because my former best friend Told me I should stop surrounding myself with yes men [Chorus] I stare at my reflection in the water woah Tell me if I'm in too deep now You make me feel like flowers in the sun But if I grant you too much power then you're gonna make me drown I stare at my reflection in the water woah Am I really in too deep now You make me feel like flowers in the sun But if I grant you too much power then you're gonna make me drown [2nd Chorus] Ohhh You're so hard to quit Ohhh Cause I'm a narcissist Ohhh It's all part of it, I won't call it quits, cause I'm a narcissist X2 [verse 2] They say I have a raging ego Maybe that's equivalent to hating people I say I'm equal but I think I'm better I leave my friends in the gutter while I race for the cheddar And whether that's a bad thing for a rat on the wheel I do it anyway cause I don't give a crap how they feel Climb social ladders in a search for glamour Only ever fuck a man who has mass appeal Or at least, that's what he said of me He said to me "Lex, you lack empathy" Though I try my best to act sensibly There's some truth to that claim and it plagues me endlessly I love my brain but I hate my feelings My ability to spend them has reached a ceiling I'm turning into the character I wrote and I'm trapped Could I really be a sociopath? [Chorus] I stare at my reflection in the water woah Tell me if I'm in too deep now You make me feel like flowers in the sun But if I grant you too much power then you're gonna make me drown I stare at my reflection in the water woah Am I really in too deep now You make me feel like flowers in the sun But if I grant you too much power then you're gonna make me drown [2nd Chorus] Ohhh You're so hard to quit Ohhh Cause I'm a narcissist Ohhh It's all part of it, I won't call it quits, cause I'm a narcissist X2 [bridge] And it's getting to my head All the things that you have said From the second that we met All the praise I can't forget Hope I haven't been misled yeah [Chorus] I stare at my reflection in the water woah Tell me if I'm in too deep now You make me feel like flowers in the sun But if I grant you too much power then you're gonna make me drown I stare at my reflection in the water woah Am I really in too deep now You make me feel like flowers in the sun But if I grant you too much power then you're gonna make me drown [2nd Chorus] Ohhh You're so hard to quit Ohhh Cause I'm a narcissist Ohhh It's all part of it, I won't call it quits, cause I'm a narcissist X2
