Astray

I hate to look in the mirror
Afraid to see the truth
My conscience isn't clear
I play fast and loose

I know I changed my identity
When I was chasing my dreams
My face expresses serenity
When I fall into sins

I want to see old Alice
Just look into her eyes
To know what made her callous
First place is her cash prize

I've used to be so cruel
'cause I have learned one phrase 
If you desire something
Dog eat dog is your praise

You know I want to win
You're sure I'll never lose
Forget about the values
Forget about the rules

Suppose, I'm double-faced
I was good, but that's bad
Old Alice knows the secrets
I wish I could forget
