Lyrics

Is this who we are now
Uncertainty adored
Replacing all of our parts
Till we're not recognised no more
I was so confident in everything
And now I'm just confused
How does one be both their abuser
And the victim of their abuse
I can't pick my self apart now
I need to check this mark
Before I miss my only shot
As I plunge towards the dark
Where I've hidden every shadow
Every lie
And every truth
Where the counterfeited me
Has scorched the earth beneath his boots
Embedded in my skin
Are the scars it left behind
And etched into my veins
Are the remnants of its mind
A person in a person
Yet I don't know who is who
A version of a version
Yet which one of them is true
Am I the echo of a champion
Or a castaway of sin
Am I the breaker of my mask
Or did my imposter win
I'm in a deadlock with myself
For worse and better health
For one of me is real
Whilst the other married hell
Head up
I've been told since I'm a kid
Keep my head up
No matter what it is
Don't get fed up
Cause something keeps bringing you down
Living in this deadlock
No matter how it is
I've got that dead luck
Cause every shot I miss
Is this my best touch
Or can I find another way out
Caught in the middle
Of every defence
I know the words to the riddles
Yet I always forget
I tell myself ignore the feelings
Cause they're draining me again
And if I feel a little sleepy
I should go to bed
Drunk on a tipple
Of liquid regret
I've got my finger on the trigger
And the other on the pen
I rip apart my demons
But I'm scared of what gets left
Forgetting who's the real me
And who is just a shell
Head goes black
I can't tell If I keep dreaming
Cause I'm talking real fast
And I don't know what I'm seeing
Is it future or the past
Never know what to believe in
Am I
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
First or last
Running races with my demons
At the front and back
Every side of me is screaming
At this whole attack
In a war without a reason
Is it
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
I've read up
On how to get a win
Because I'm fed up
Of everything within
Is this the best I've got
To stay on top
And not drown
Still inside a deadlock
No matter how I see it
I've got dead luck
No matter how I preach it
Is my head stuck
Talking to the mirror like a clown
It keeps reflecting all the visions
That I've kept in my heart
Where I've built myself in light
But the other me in dark
And they're fighting for the stage
Both are chasing the applause
Whilst the real me is caged
Watching from afar
Puppet in a play
I never mastered all the strings
In
A crowd I give a smile
But alone I never win
I'm climbing up and down
Cause the middles way too thin
Up and down
Never centred in my skin
Black
I can't tell If I keep dreaming
Cause I'm talking talking fast
And I don't know what I'm seeing
Is it future or the past
Never know what to believe in
Am I
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
First or last
Running races with my demons
At the front and back
Every side of me is screaming
At this whole attack
In a war without a reason
Is it
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
I've been lost in the city
Just looking for a sign or two
And there's maps on the streets
And there's parts that I've seen
Yet I still I don't know what to do
I know this whole damn town
From the north to the south
Like the scars on the back of my hands
Yet I walk through the eaves
With no chance of reprieve
Cause I still don't know who I am
I've been lost in the city
In the city
In the city
In the city
I've been lost in the city
In the city
In the city
In the city
I've been lost in the city
Just looking for a sign or two
I've been lost in the city
Head goes black
I can't tell If I keep dreaming
Cause I'm talking real fast
And I don't know what I'm seeing
Is it future or the past
Never know what to believe in
Am I
Falling
Falling
First or last
Running races with my demons
At the front and back
Every side of me is screaming
At this whole attack
In a war without a reason
Is it
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Maybe you're not supposed to grow
Maybe you're the kind of person who would never have a throne
Just another reject making music from his bones
Sat alone inside a studio until the sun doth go
From the sidewalk I've been watching all the greats now
Maybe this is where I need to find a place now
Am I destined to forever walk the grey
Afraid of getting colours
That illuminate my name
Just somebody with a couple good songs
A couple good words you could sing along
Maybe just a fraud
Just another sad fake
Maybe I'm somebody who will never say nay
Nay
To my imposter
You can get out
F the feeling
That you're banging in my head now
You're the ceiling but I'm looking from the clouds
And I know If I stare long enough I'll tear you down
Cause I keep looking for the real me
A little boy who was searching for a real dream
I need to tell myself no matter what the age
As long as I am breathing then I've got another day
For all the evenings where I fall down
For when I'm freezing and I need to find a thaw now
For all the feelings that would come along and stay
And all those very feelings that would go and run away
I'll be the best now
The version of my dreams that would never fear my own self
The only one who could make it all the way
Away from the imposter who's living in my
Brain
Brain
Brain
Away from the imposter who's living
In my brain
