The Mirror Stage

It's us, and them
 It's the way it's always been
 It's the primary binary of society
 It's scream or sing
 Now I'm trapped in this bottle, it was supposed to be lightning
 I may as well, I don't completely understand this myself
 It's this or it
 There once came a time when you looked into the mirror as a kid
 The world began, it began to split in two
 And now you define others based on how they differ from you
 It's so true
 It's so innate, so sick
 Regardless of the grain
 There's the feeling that you're not the same
 It's not yet clear to you, that's how others function too
 I behave in such a way
 That my quiet confidence won't let me stray
 From the feeling that I'm not the norm
 From the feeling that I am informed
 I hope we see each other's face
 When we both end up in the same place
 My face will surely read
 This isn't how it was supposed to be
 It's not what was promised to me
 It's us, and them
 That's what they let me think
 It's us, and them
 It stung to realize that's what everyone was thinking too
