[Verse 1]
There’s a whisper in my silence
A footstep in my mind
A ghost that walks beside me
But always stays behind
They wear my face like armor
Speak my words with fire
But where I burn with mercy
They only burn with ire
[Pre-Chorus]
I see them in reflections
In dreams that leave a stain
Not evil, just abandoned
Not broken — just in pain
[Chorus]
The other me, the darker skin
The soul I locked away within
They bleed my blood, they cry my name
A mirror cracked, but still the same
No saint, no sin — just what I hide
A storm that waits beneath the tide
And if they rise, then so shall I
Together we will burn the sky
[Verse 2]
They loved what I dismembered
They kissed the parts I feared
They lived the truths I buried
While I disappeared
I dressed in light to please them
They dressed in ash and chain
But every smile I faked for love
They took and turned to flame
[Pre-Chorus]
They haunt me not to hurt me
But to be understood
We are the war inside the wound
That never healed for good
[Chorus]
The other me, the shadow grin
The voice I silence deep within
They breathe my rage, they guard my scars
They are my night, my blood-red stars
No savior comes, no hero prays
For halves that turn and walk away
But when I fall, they rise instead
A crown of thorns upon their head
[Bridge]
They whisper: "You are not alone"
“You’re just afraid of who you’ve grown”
“But I have teeth, and I have grace”
“And I wear all you can’t embrace”
[Breakdown]
So open wide the iron gate
Embrace the fear you fabricate
For I am you, and you are me —
The monster born to set us free
[Final Chorus]
The other me, the truth I fled
The vow I broke, the words unsaid
We walk as one, through fire and rain
Two hearts that beat through joy and pain
No right, no wrong — just what remains
Of love we lost and forged from chains
And now we rise, not meek, not kind —
But whole, at last, in heart and mind
[Outro]
So when they speak of heroes lost
Remember who still paid the cost
Not evil, just the part unseen
My other half — my in-between
