Alter Ego [Chapter 1]

You been waiting for me… haven’t you?

I don’t knock, I just enter the frame

I’m the part of your mind you were trying to tame

You built me quiet, I came out loud

Now I’m the voice when you’re lost in a crowd

You call it a problem, I call it truth

I’m the reason your fear feels bulletproof

Every doubt that you buried too deep to see

I dug it up and I made it speak

You hesitate, I accelerate

You pray for calm, I generate hate

Not ‘cause I’m evil, but I don’t lie

You were already screaming inside

I’m not your shadow, I’m your flame

I’m the name behind every blame

You tried to sleep, I stayed awake

Now I’m the choice you didn’t make

I’m EmZeeEx, I break the chain

I turn your silence into pain

And every time you try to run

I’m already the loaded gun

You wanted strength? I removed the fear

Now look at you, I made it clear

No soft excuses, no safe disguise

Just raw thoughts with open eyes

They call me monster, I call me real

I say what you’re scared to even feel

And every time you try to fight

I get louder inside your night

But here’s the twist you don’t wanna admit

I’m not separate — I’m your split

Every line I spit, you already wrote

I’m just the voice that you never spoke

So tell me, Shadow…

If I’m not you…

why do I feel like home?
