Doppelganger

I remember the moment
I was sitting alone
Then reached behind my back and never was the same again

For a minute I held it
Then forever I wore it
What started as a mask became a separate identity

How did I end up in this situation?
How did I get it all so wrong?
I thought that I was chasing inspiration
But all the inspiration's gone

Covered up in a pile of
Everything I abandoned
Digging through the wreckage
But not finding it anywhere

I remember a moment
You were sitting alone
I watched you from afar to see if anything would change

Like a method actor
You ignore the director
I'm both disgusted and amazed by all the parts you try to play

Now every smile is an accusation
And every tear a loaded gun
I thought that you were chasing inspiration
But now the inspirations's gone

It's a face that resembles
Somebody I remember
Searching in the eyes
But I'm not seeing you anywhere
