Doppelg​​​ä​​​nger

Awaking from a deadly dream
My head splitting at the seams
I can't breathe, but my heart keeps beating
Memories of who I was before
My blood strewn across the floor
I'm alive, but that can't be right

A foreign maze of city streets
My reflection isn't me
I'm afraid that I might be no one
A life in pixels on a screen
Was I nothing but a dream?
If you're me, who am I?

It's not fair, my life slipping through my fingers
I don't know who I am anymore

I want to be
Myself, your clone
In this body
I'm not me
You're not me
I'm not me
You're not me
What are we?

My waking hours haunted by ghosts
Parasites to which I'm host
They're afraid that I might be someone
Shattering mirrors on the floor
I'm looking for something more
Let me in, get me out

A stranger with a friendly face
Why do I feel out of place?
I'm afraid that they'll see you
They're longing for my company
For our shared and aching dream
"Can't you see, don't you love me?"

It's not fair, I can't be what they want of me
I don't know who they are anymore

I want to be
Yourself, alone
Where nobody
Will know me
You're not me

Can't they see?
You're not me
I hate me
I can't breathe
This body
It weighs on
Me

I want to be
Myself, unique
I want to see
How to
Be
