Looking in the mirror, I catch myself visualizing.
Achieved my short-term goals, but the long-term keeps minimizing.
Spent too much time dreaming and fantasizing.
Now time has passed, and I'm realizing.
I make excuses that keep on penalizing.
Opportunity knocks, and I'm forced to answer because—
It's me on the other side, knocking until my hands hurt.

Looking in the mirror, I catch myself visualizing.
Achieved my short-term goals, but the long-term keeps minimizing.
Spent too much time dreaming and fantasizing.
Now time has passed, and I'm realizing.
I make excuses that keep on penalizing.
Opportunity knocks, and I'm forced to answer because—
It's me on the other side, knocking until my hands hurt.
