25 years of living like a charlatan.
So convinced I'm living life in someone else's skin,
left obsessed with these thoughts that I foster
and I am nothing but a fucking imposter.
Championing my words
So undeserved.
the desperate echo of a voice that's never meant to be heard.
Under the spotlight
my skin starts to boil
A stranger in my reflection stares back at me
His gaze digs into my soul, I've lost the strength to see
Who I was and who I was meant to be
Now I don't know, in the hollow, what awaits for me?
My life, a display of ignominy
Half the world away
There's somebody better for my place
That's more deserving of observing
So dig the hole and save my place
This world was never meant for me
I'll burn the bridge to make it brighter
Half the world away
There's somebody better for my place
That's more deserving of observing
Through all of this, I've never stopped
waiting for the curtain to drop,
For every weakness to be exposed
For the world to see my aching pose
Is this a fear or premonition?
Or destiny that I've imposed?
No matter what the outcome
I'll face it like I've always known
I stood in the spotlight
And it burned through my soul
Only sure I was put here to suffer
I am nothing but an imposter
i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
