Angel Haze - Altered Ego lyrics

I've seen meadows become mountains of pride within me; Witnessed the light within the darkness inside befriend the helpless soul that I've become And even in my weakest phases My darkest days are often brighter than the lightest rays you could feel me burnin' through the shade But, I'm convinced that I ain't changed My close friends say if you press rewind and look at Haze the person that I am now is not the same I tell them when seasons change everything else has to fall in line, become aligned I feel like I've lost my spine I thought that conquering the minds of this troubled youth would get me through But it seems as though I've forgotten me to get to you When all you needed was the truth There's often great trouble in contemplation That tendency turns fascination into a permanence One I hadn't been sure I was prepared for But you never know what you're prepared for until you're standing within that time And the only thoughts within your mind are "I wanna win. I don't ever wanna have to worry about making it here again, so I gotta be just like them." Creating subcategories; I don't fit within the persona that fits with them I've become you True in a sense, but, I lie all the more And confidence is the key that unlocks every door That way you'd never know I felt this; You'd never know I feel it With my Spider-Man senses I can hang upon the ceiling and hold my head in shame Look from whence I've came My eyes are brightening the cave within the dark slow lives behind There is emptiness where my fears reside I am a queen and a Pharaoh I am the villain and the hero I am d**h and I am life I am lows as well as highs I am truths within the lies I am a h**n and a zero I am too, altered ego Welcome
