I'm a surrogate I'm archetypal and itinerant I'm your excuse to long for a superior I will undertake, I will overcome Imperfection you will find Look close enough, tear off the mask I need This endeavor is not mine You subject me to the daggers you conceive I'm stronger than I was before Thus you reinforce these walls, I can't fight you anymore Threatened by the open door All the chances I ignore, I can't stand still anymore The day is done, nothing left to say Resting head in hands, wishing I had known my place To take a stand, the errand of a fool I'm not to reprimand, I'm here to help you through Is nothing like it seems? Living in this sequence, a dream Is nothing like it seems? Gather broken shards of self-esteem
