Alter Ego

(アルバム： Glorious Game - 2023)

'Round the age of thirty-five, I began to lose my drive
I was wasted, chasing time as if I was losing my mind
If you're listening, there's a way to make it to that other side
When you're drifting and you need something uplifting in your lives
Take my eyes, all this blue and black and ebony inside
They done cried 'cause they seen too much to ever be surprised
Then they dried, used to be so full of light and damn near died
Searching for them whens and whys, tying up loose ends and odds
Sins of mine, crimson tides, close family and friends of ours
You decide, said I probably should forget my foolish pride
And my sneakers made of gasoline while tipping through this fire
Listening to this choir, asked a simple question, "Who is I?"
I perfected imperfection, I've dealt with debt collection
All my demons, I respect them, I'm a breathing intersection
On the crux of my redemption, not to mention reinspired
Looking out for me and mine since I told my alter ego goodbye

Bye-bye
Bye-bye (Bye-bye)
Bye-bye (Bye-bye)
Bye-bye (Bye-bye)
Bye-bye (Bye-bye)

Yo, when I was running on empty, that emptiness would tempt me
And I felt like everything, even my shadow worked against me
I sit there in the mirror, staring at myself intensely
Thinking, "I should act my age, shit, I'm approaching half a century"
Accidentally, I be mentally taken to my point of entry
And shown the bigger picture like I'd watched a documentary
I decided if I'm riding, I'm gon' do it positively
Undeniably, sobriety's influenced my delivery
In a world of flowers, where heaven's beauty and hell's power
Money that smells sour, bats in a bell tower
That's who you lose interest in after the first hour
Teachable memories that I found resound louder
Than a bomb, losing track of a reason to correspond
When your conscience kick you in the ass like a chorus line
On the crux of my redemption, not to mention reinspired
Looking out for me and mine since I told my alter ego goodbye

Bye-bye
Bye-bye (Bye-bye)
Bye-bye (Bye-bye)
Bye-bye (Bye-bye)
Bye-bye (Bye-bye)
