[Verse 1: Nay Nay]
I'm living in the image I make
Creating visions, I'm fake
Cause I don't live what I say
I'm so fictitious, You witness this
I do it every day
I do whatever it takes
To become part of whats in the frame
Aye, paint on a smile with a dirty brush
Because I act like I'm the sh**, like I don't even flush
You push me I don't budge, because I gotta act tough
I don't care about much when I chill with my buds
But when I'm alone I do not know who I've become
Because I'm unknown I gotta act like I'm someone
I stand out to fit in, My real life is hidden
I act out and lash out and that's how I'm livin
Pictures, pictures on the wall
Who's the dopest of them all
Feel no pain like Tylenol
I'm shinin bright like Armor-All
Overall I seem fantastic
Though my life is really plastic
All my friends think I'm the baddest
Who needs real when you can act it?
[Verse 2: Bryan Mahon]:
The pictures hangin' on the wall
All the pictures with you in them
Except the ones of Ma and Pa
You're smilin' for all your friends
[Hook: Bryan Mahon]:
You mighty go right out your way
So all the discouragers see
Frame, and hang, it on your wall
And run from the reality
Exaggerate imaginations
Hide your vulnerabilities
You're living in the image again
You're in the image, okay?
[Verse 3: Nay Nay]:
The game is reignited
By flames that I am writin
On stage, my fans excited
My life is slightly divided
In half, cause in the end
I realized I lost my friends
And now I have to pretend
And become an image again
Aye, but I'm the meanest
Man I mean it, can't you see it
If I say it long enough I bet that you'll believe it
I'll never show my weakness and I'll never tell my secrets
But I'll smile for the camera cause it hides my broken pieces
[Verse 4: Bryan]:
The picture's hanging on the wall
All those pictures with you in them
And none of them have any friends
Your smile's full of emptiness
You pray and pray, ignite the light
Reign with positivity
You claim to reignite the game
But all you bring is misery
You say you play for all your fans
That feeling must be flattering
You're in the image Nay Nay, you know you're in it
[Hook: Bryan Mahon]:
You mighty go right out your way
So all the discouragers see
Frame, and hang, it on your wall
And run from the reality
Exaggerate imaginations
Hide your vulnerabilities
You're living in the image again
You know you're in it
[Hook: Bryan Mahon and Nay Nay]:
Cause You mighty go right out your way, (Cause I mighty go right out my way)
So all the discouragers see. (So all the discouragers see)
Frame, and hang, it on your wall, (Frame, and hang, it on my wall)
And run from the reality. (And run from the reality)
Exaggerate imaginations, (Exaggerate, imaginate)
Hide your vulnerabilities. (Hide my vulnerabilities)
You're living in the image again, (I'm living in the image again)
You're living in it okay? (I'm in the image, okay!)
