Alter Ego/顔 - Ave Mujica
Commission for @yingfelis
Things are—things are, shattering! So-so-so messy! Debris at my feet, the sounds
Arlecchino, clasps her corset securely
Chin up, please; there’s something in the mirror staring back at me
Ah—that face, so similar
Covered up makeup props who are there charmin’ chemin’ chumin’
Heart—I won’t reveal the me I hide
Hardly-hardly I let my tears flow down my soft cheeks
So am I sane? Or have I lost my sanity?
It’s the deception of everyday, I live in—
All to remain hidden and indifferent [1, 2]
I am a pretender up, up, up, up, shake, shake, shake it up
I feel your sneer reach my back, but I can’t touch [hey!]
The pretender up, up, up, up, shake, shake, shake it up, it up [uh-oh]
A foul farewell from you loser, loser, loser [bye-bye and bye]
I see your make up, make up, make up, babe
Hey, walk right over
Hey!
All lies-all lies of seven colors; smiles I hear pumpin’ beats
Vibes I’m feeling from my heart
Drifting through the algorithms hollow content farms
It’s fine but there’s something missing—I can’t find
Ah, it’s fine; it’s common, I’m used too [cool-cool]
I am a pretender up, up, up, up, shake, shake, shake it up
I feel your sneer reach my back, but I can’t touch [hey!]
The pretender up, up, up, up, shake, shake, shake it up, it up [uh-oh]
A foul farewell from you loser, loser, loser
Huh? [Uh-oh] Huh? [Uh-oh] Huh? Huh?
Well…well…well…
These words I’ve said, what do I feel?
A hollow empty defense, I guess
You’re just a pretender up, up, up, up, shake, shake, shake it up,
When will you give up faking through life? [hate!]
Hate pretender up, up, up, up, shake, shake, shake it up, it up [uh-oh]
Can you just give it up?
Shut pretender up, up, up, up, shake, shake, shake it up,
If you let go of deception—alter ego [hate!]
Hate pretender up, up, up, up, shake, shake, shake it up, it up [uh-oh]
The coin reveals the [real] one winner, winner, winner [bye-bye and bye]
I’m a pretender hater, hater, hate the fake
The mirror you, I’ll expose—you inside whose hidden
