Shadow of Myself (feat. LongestSoloEver) (A Cappella) - The Stupendium/LongestSoloEver.mp3

[00:00.000] 作词 : Gregory Holgate
[00:02.639]I will find myself
[00:05.866]In these memories
[00:09.218]Bring control into the chaos
[00:12.672]Storming deep through all of me
[00:16.162]Find the light I lost
[00:19.595]Stem the entropy
[00:22.891]The light it fades but I remain
[00:26.556]Will I always be
[00:28.922]A shadow of myself?
[00:31.367]Yet again, I pick up the pieces
[00:32.691]Repeat and repeat till the sequence ceases
[00:34.455]Trying to write a thesis defining me
[00:36.040]In defiance of all the anxiety
[00:37.862]It's like cryosleep
[00:38.772]All those years locked away
[00:39.969]While the whole world got to play
[00:41.385]Self left to rot, decay
[00:42.558]Now I'm not the same
[00:43.529]But it's not too late
[00:44.408]'Cause I've got today
[00:45.278]But what's today?
[00:46.202]All the flashbacks are cracking
[00:47.194]The memories oscillate
[00:48.243]As I grasp at the fragments
[00:49.439]A destiny lost to shade
[00:50.435]My whole past on display
[00:51.676]Path gone astray
[00:52.607]And I forgot where I lost the way
[00:53.843]So, allow me to postulate
[00:55.255]On the nature of what it takes
[00:56.541]To find heart to say that I'm not the fake
[00:58.423]They say I'm fearless
[00:59.359]They say I'm strong
[01:00.003]They say I'm peerless
[01:00.974]And they're no wrong
[01:01.705]But I was engineered for a job that's gone
[01:03.470]So I spend the years just grinding on
[01:06.141]Tell me, does it make you free or worthless
[01:07.506]If you can't complete your purpose?
[01:09.033]Am I the character between curse and cure
[01:10.917]Or just surplus 'neath the surface?
[01:11.827]I will find myself
[01:15.352]In these memories
[01:18.842]Bring control into the chaos
[01:22.154]Storming deep through all of me
[01:25.689]Find the light I lost
[01:29.214]Stem the entropy
[01:32.489]The light it fades but I remain
[01:36.109]Will I always be
[01:38.545]A shadow of myself?
[01:40.816]What's a hedgehog supposed to do
[01:42.142]When resolution's overdue?
[01:43.679]It's been 20 years since I first appeared
[01:45.563]And I still don't know the truth
[01:47.620]Ain't nobody lived a life so gritty
[01:49.178]As I blaze through midlife-crisis city
[01:50.998]On a motorcycle with a loaded rifle
[01:52.546]In the hopes the fight will quiet the nihilist in me
[01:54.611]Cast from a demon and the dreams of madmen
[01:56.163]That dream cast me left asleep, abandoned
[01:57.950]Had my light dashed
[01:58.697]Still I see the pattern
[01:59.665]Of an arc so dark it'd eclipse it's canon
[02:01.456]How many chapters and pages left?
[02:03.036]As I cling to the past to escape the next
[02:04.728]As I sift through the past on a razor's edge
[02:06.519]As I pick which path on the stage select
[02:08.299]How to find a way now I'm not programmed?
[02:10.045]Now I've got no cage
[02:10.947]But I've got no plan
[02:11.757]On a final chase trying to find a place
[02:13.513]But how am I to face when the clock throws hands?
[02:15.484]What's the point of running at light speed
[02:16.970]If I'm running from the choice of who I might be
[02:18.723]Live the life I lead looking behind me
[02:20.559]Because things were so much easier in the nineties
[02:22.204]It was just a simpler time, you know?
[02:24.632]I will find myself
[02:28.154]In these memories
[02:31.681]Bring control into the chaos
[02:35.087]Storming deep through all of me
[02:38.716]Find the light I lost
[02:42.214]Stem the entropy
[02:45.494]The light it fades but I remain
[02:49.061]Will I always be
[02:51.431]A shadow of myself?
[02:56.089]Can't you see me at the window
[02:59.305]With my hand against the glass?
[03:02.797]Time is leaving me in limbo
[03:06.327]Forced to languish in the past
[03:09.960]Now a future lies before me
[03:13.494]As I break from this machine
[03:17.232]Live and learn to write my story
[03:20.338]Until I am all of me
[03:23.953]I will find myself
[03:27.261]In these memories
[03:30.808]Bring control into the chaos
[03:34.254]Storming deep through all of me
[03:37.789]Find the light I lost
[03:41.265]Stem the entropy
[03:44.723]The light it fades but I remain
[03:48.248]Will I always be
[03:50.742]A shadow of myself?
[03:53.368]The age I was playing Sonic Adventure 2 was probably the last point in my life
[03:56.963]I remember actually understanding everything who I am, where I'm going
[04:01.038]The biggest problem in my life was trying to beat Canon's core
[04:04.116]And now I have a mortgage
[04:05.840]Adulting is hard
