Doppelganger

May I comprehend doubt
The lies and thoughts that ran me a fray
I'd leave a piece of me to pave the way,
In time
Let them take my place
where I've begun to fade
...I'll watch them grow
while I smile in their display
I'll be their silhouette today
But when they begin to shine
I'll take my step behind them
And enjoy their shade.

Oh baby why don't you go out and play...
Take my wisdom
and change the world into a better place
Be better than I can
Be better than I am..

The struggles I've found
In the presence of thinking too loud
A bitter taste, a numb beating in my chest
I've felt words escape my breath,
They get tangled upon my tongue
The things I've longed to forget
A feeling of being complete
In my world I've settled in.
