lyrics

I hear my voice, somewhere in the distance
My hands belong to someone else
And these thoughts are not my own
I am no more than a copy, without an original

I hide from survival, outside of time
The choices I made were never within my control

My imposter lives my life for me
I wander these wards as a passive observer
I seek nothing, I wait for no one
Consciousness as a series, of normative judgements

My copy, the demon who calls me to sin
Outbreak of evil masquerading as me

A bloodless body
One with the unseen
A force outside of reality
Seamless and replaceable

Turmoil from maleficium, committed outside of me
Cowardly reparations yoke me, in my catatonia

A wretched curse
Or is it madness?
It doesn’t matter
It all ends the same

I blend with the crowds, safety in entrapment
But I stand alone, suffocating in nothingness
The world is my graveyard, and other lives are my tomb
I am a tourist within my own existence

Never in my wildest dreams, could I have imagined how much grandiosity there was to be found, in my ostracism
Impartial in my observations, I viewed the world with a clinical gaze. I interpreted the information cynically to reach the big picture

As soon as I thought I was nearing the conclusion, I would see my doppelgänger leering mockingly, straight back at me
I hope this letter finds you well, and serves its purpose by informing you of my situation, and as to why I have done the deed
