Myself And I Lyrics

It's a constant struggle between my Self and I
I'm a man divided by my will and desire
My Self wants more of the spotlight
And sometimes I can't - I just can't deny it
'Cause it feels so good to see
My name in lights
But when the lights burn out
My fame will fade away with my name
Tell me, what then have I gained?

When I feel the roar of applause
Echoing from the walls
Something tells me: "Take a bow, it's all you now"
And if I'm warming up to the thought That I'm more than I'm not
Someone please come and take me away
'Cause I don't wanna end up
A fool who has forgotten his name

When I'm hypnotized by the eyes
Of conceit I disguise
My true intent to take center stage by force
With no remorse for the consequences
I - I can't - I just can't look away
It's the spell of Self that blurs
Black into grey
And if I lose all sight
Someone please put me in my place
Tear the mask away from my face
