lyrics

I catch a glimpse from the corner of my eye.
Impersonation or the depths of disguise?
You seem distraught; deranged one might say.
Did I hallucinate? Or what is that I see?

[Die! Die! Die!] See no reflection of me.
[Lie! Lie! Lie!] Are you my effigy?
[Hide! Hide! Hide!] You cast no shadows.
[Why? Why? Why?] Perverted imagery.

Observe this ghostly variant of me.
It also brings death, illness or tragedy.
It is so sinister and so unlike me.
You possess my emotions and memories.

To make themselves known transiently.
Interacting with the world in periphery.
This phenomenon; erroneous obscurity.
To interact and engage with another me.

I see you laughing in the other room.
Your whispers filled with nefarious intent.
The others speak and assume that you're me.
Hiding on the edges of our known reality.

An apparition from another time or space.
It's here for me. It's here to take my place!
I must expel this duplicate of me.
And send it back; yet soon to set me free!
