Verse 1
There’s a stranger within myself,
a darker being that usurps my face,
with improper deeds and reckless eyes
derides the weakness of a decent mind.

Verse 2
This cynical feeling has lasted far too long,
I just can’t seem to let go of this drug,
wasted hours I pretend not to ignore.
A seemingly irrational sad story untold.

Bridge
No one knows my struggles and no one would even care.
I’m sorry I let you down, I wish you could understand.

Chorus
Remind me who I really am
and I’ll see how far I can get.
It’s not worth staying stuck in the mud
when your world is such a beautiful place.

Verse 3
Constant regrets have me feeling the worst
but tears of guilt are not quite enough,
broken self promises are those that I own.
Priest confessions, what were they meant for?

Verse 4
Appalled judgments keep haunting my thoughts,
time shall help but they’ll never leave me alone.
Although somehow my good name survives,
this shame I’ll bear for the rest of my life.

Bridge
My unexpected karma will be an indelible stain.
If I could turn back time, I just wouldn’t do the same.

Chorus
Remind me who I really am
and I’ll see how far I can get.
It’s not worth staying stuck in the mud
when your world is such a beautiful place.

Verse 5
The consuming prison I long to leave
became a pleasant haven for my anxiety.
Excuses drag me back to where I don’t belong,
This vicious cycle brought me to my all time low.

Verse 6
I stood at the edge with a foot in the air,
a blinded risk that would throw it all away.
Foolish, naive teenage habits back then;
a pathetic, wicked, creepy grown man today.

Bridge
I won’t ever look down; I’ll step up to break the chain.
it’s not too late to be better; I’m not stumbling again.

Chorus
Remind me who I really am
and I’ll see how far I can get.
It’s not worth staying stuck in the mud
when your world is such a beautiful place.
