INCOGNITO (SEE ME)
Why must I live this mystery? Why rehash all that’s passed?
Why struggle with my history? Why do I have to fight my past?
Why aren’t these ghosts abating? Why should they haunt me so?
Why aren’t they dissipating? Why do they come and never go?
The gift of total recall
It’s all in my mind’s eye
Some day it’s gonna be my downfall
The gift’s a curse but in disguise
Incognito
Right before my eyes
The gift’s a curse but in disguise
Just can’t let it go
Gonna be my demise
The gift’s a curse but in disguise
Why do I relive memories? Why not let sleeping dogs lie
In sentient penitentiary? Why won’t my brain comply?
Stalked by these aberrations that never grant release
Mental cohabitation I never get a minute’s peace
The gift of total recall
It’s all in my mind’s eye
Some day it’s gonna be my downfall
The gift’s a curse but in disguise
Incognito
Right before my eyes
The gift’s a curse but in disguise
Just can’t let it go
Gonna be my demise
The gift’s a curse but in disguise
A constant urge to let go of the past
Cause letting go takes everything and more than what I have
Most days I wonder if I’m up to the task
But what good is holding on to what I know won’t last
The gift’s a curse but in disguise
Incognito
Right before my eyes
The gift’s a curse but in disguise
Just can’t let it go
Gonna be my demise
The gift’s a curse but in disguise
