emcee millz - cocoon lyrics

[chorus]
code switching feel like camouflage
whole life feels like it’s a mirage
an illusion
am i lucid enough to know that this sh+ll can not cover all my flaws?

[verse]
with this cocoon i’ve concocted, containing my fragile body
i show i’m stronger than what i appear
my biggest fear is that my fraudulence will peek through this peephole
and pierce me, as peers see
i’m not who i ought to… be
cause in this state, i’m bout as frail as a feather
that’s often weathered by the winds that beat against her
been tormented by the showers, so i cower
to a sp+ce where i feel safe, and empowered
another layer that surrounds her
the deception of this position i’m in
this cocoon is paper thin, it’s bout as thick as my skin
so i blindly retreat kindly to a place they’ll never find me
isolated again, till i feel as strong as i’d like to pretend
i pretend to see the benefits and overlook the detriment
hiding my disposition in the corners of a smile
relying on these walls to fortify me
till i can finally face the world outside me without lying, wow
[chorus]
code switching feel like camouflage
whole life feels like it’s a mirage
an illusion
am i lucid enough to know that this sh+ll can not cover all my flaws?
oh, oh, oh
my flaws, my flaws

[verse 2]
this cocoon is supposed to be a catalyst for metamorphosis
instead, i’ve found that it’s my stagnant part of growth
my cubby of conformity
i constantly succumb to parts of me that never want to go
when confrontation comes to face me, i run from its abrasive embrace
and i find solace in this quiet place
i run away, i feel ashamed, i can’t leave out the way i came
and so i stay, but then i stay till there’s no sp+ce for me to change
it’s always
precedented by the pressures of appearances to say that i’m okay
the purpose of this room is to make me bloom into a b+tterfly
but how can i justify leaving out of here the same?
instead, i use my name
deflect the deeper parts of me, and all throughout my artistry claim i’m a dope emcee who’s doing things
undoubtedly they trust in me, but it’s all been a game
i must come clean, this life is hard for me to maintain
[chorus]
code switching feel like camouflage
whole life feels like it’s a mirage
an illusion
am i lucid enough to know that this sh+ll can not cover all my flaws?
