Eace To Face
Lifer and death have their own place
And rarely do they occupy the same space
But like all things in life, anything is possible
As the mind thinks, imagination makes it probable
So what would you do if you met yourself
Face to face?
Your certain death is only days away
During this time, your real thoughts come into play
The truth of your past, present, your true love and hate
All your deep hidden secrets come flooding through the gates
What would you do if you met yourself
Face to face?
Suddenly, a being comes in that's a mirror copy of you
Their body, their face, their voice and movements are you
However, science couldn't give them your thoughts or memory
Yet they know if you're lying and your true sincerity
So what would you do if you met yourself
Face to face?
Their job is to be you and take over your life
Your job is to tell them who you are, no deceit and no strife
To tell them your deepest pains, secrets and thoughts
Your greatest pride, your hearts desire and unfulfilled goals you sought
So what would you do if you met yourself
Face to face?
You can't lie to yourself, so what would you say?
The true you must come forth with no delay
As you tell yourself who you really are, it hurts like hell
You rip the bandage off the womb and remove the veil
Then you think, they could be a better you for they know who you are
Your pain, they didn't experience yet the hurt they know, by far
To friends and family they have to be you, with all reaction the same
So your job is to make them the best you, for their success is your fame
What would you do if you met yourself
Face to face?
Would you be true to yourself
Or live another life displaced.
