The Battle Within......

-Neither Can Live While The Other Survives-......... I didn't think I was two people in one single body My brain holds many rooms like a huge hotel lobby I'm struggling to just be a single entity with only one side When things get out of hand far beyond my control, behind my alter-ego is where I hide Everyone loves Richard, yes, but everybody hates Chris...lol This ain't T.V. its real, something must be done about this Richard is who my girl fell in love with, caring, laid-back, docile Chris is the beast who's been tearing at my insides for a while He wants me out of the way so he can desroy what I worked so hard to build My reputation, relationship, my life, are on the line, my heart acts as my only shield I look in the mirror every morning tears falling free from my eyes Then I see Chris, with that leering, taut, sneer that I despise Get rid of him, fight him, you can still win, take control But would it be right, because in my life he's played a good role People asking me so who are you today: Richard or Chris? Chris is that a-hole isn't he, Richard is who I miss So what am I supposed to care what people think about the Other Me? Forget them! The choice is mine, I do what I want, this is my destiny My mind is made up, I'll get rid of this parasitic, demonic, disguise I'm gonna get rid of him because: Neither Can LIve While The Other Survives....
