Impostor Syndrome
I'm constantly fighting to maintain control
And my nemesis will never stay dead
Every now and then it rises up again
To restart the war that goes on in my head
Security crumbles, my thoughts betray me
They scream at me "you're just a sham"
Erroneous clarity begs me to see
A version of truth I can't stand
Trapped in a prison of my own construction
Forever a hostage inside my own mind
Specters of doubt chanting horrible questions
Am I what I claim or have I been defined
Impostor
Behind every corner I know what they say
I'm sure they're all laughing when my back is turned
On wings of wax I tried to reach too far
Just a matter of time till I finally get burned
Cast my deeds aside, ignore all my success
I'm a fraud, I'm a joker, oh what can I do
I deserve the abuse, I've got no real use
Still I fight these delusions, I scream it's not true
Trapped in a prison of my own construction
Forever a hostage inside my own mind
Specters of doubt chanting horrible questions
Am I what I claim or have I been defined
Impostor
Dominus animus, expello tenebra
Dominus animus, expello tenebra
Finally when the storm subsides
And I'm in control again
I can't ignore this anymore
I must confront my fears, and I must win
Wrestling my demons, destroying my fear
Banishing doubt, time to seal them away
I'm in control now, my life is my own
I can stand up with pride for another day
Today's fight is done, but tomorrow the war rages on
And my nemesis will never stay dead
Every now and then it rises up again
To restart the war that goes on in my head
Security crumbles, my thoughts betray me
They scream at me "you're just a sham"
Erroneous clarity begs me to see
A version of truth I can't stand
Trapped in a prison of my own construction
Forever a hostage inside my own mind
Specters of doubt chanting horrible questions
Am I what I claim or have I been defined
Impostor
Behind every corner I know what they say
I'm sure they're all laughing when my back is turned
On wings of wax I tried to reach too far
Just a matter of time till I finally get burned
Cast my deeds aside, ignore all my success
I'm a fraud, I'm a joker, oh what can I do
I deserve the abuse, I've got no real use
Still I fight these delusions, I scream it's not true
Trapped in a prison of my own construction
Forever a hostage inside my own mind
Specters of doubt chanting horrible questions
Am I what I claim or have I been defined
Impostor
Dominus animus, expello tenebra
Dominus animus, expello tenebra
Finally when the storm subsides
And I'm in control again
I can't ignore this anymore
I must confront my fears, and I must win
Wrestling my demons, destroying my fear
Banishing doubt, time to seal them away
I'm in control now, my life is my own
I can stand up with pride for another day
Today's fight is done, but tomorrow the war rages on
