Imposter syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon, impostorism, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience) is a psychological pattern in which one doubts one’s accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a “fraud”.
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
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?
What awaits for me?
What awaits for me?
What awaits for me?
My life, a display of ignominy
Half the world away
There's somebody better for my place
Who's more deserving of observing
Just cut the cord and set me free
So dig the hole and save my place
This world was never meant for me
I'll burn the bridge to make it brighter
I am nothing but an imposter
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
I am nothing but a fucking imposter
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
Half the world away
There's somebody better for my place
Who's more deserving of observing
Just cut the cord and set me free
Dig the hole and save my place
Forget my name, forget my face
I'll burn the bridge to make it brighter
