Not Feeling Like Myself Lately

Who is this stranger in the mirror?
Who is this person I don't know?
Big soft smile, warm and inviting
cold stare somehow disconnected from a soul

I feel lost, floating around in his head
like a memory, caged and locked inside
I'm not sure how I'm going to get out of here
For now I'm just along for the ride

It's cold out there, where I feel all alone
whenever I try to maneuver through life
I'll just be my own friend and wait for the end
And hope for better luck some other time.

He laughs at the jokes when he's supposed to
he knows all the right things to say
maybe I'll just let him keep control for awhile
people seem to like him better anyway.

Going through the motions
from across the endless ocean
separated by endless sine waves
coldly drifting into space.
