[Verse 1] I wake up in my own skin But it ain't me in the mirror Same mouth, same hands Still the vibe feels nearer There's a knock from below Like a boot in the floor When I try to be calm It gets louder for sure [Pre-Chorus] One side says run One side says stay I bite my tongue It answers anyway I feel the pull Under my ribs Something is taking What I never gave [Chorus] Alter Ego Inside my body Alter Ego Can't nobody stop me Two names, one face One heart, one fire Alter Ego Pulling me higher [Verse 2] In the grocery aisle I hear it grin Picking out trouble Under my breath again It loves bad timing It loves a scene Turns quiet rain Into gasoline I say, "let it go" It says, "not yet" Then it steals the wheel And wins the bet [Pre-Chorus] One side says break One side says bend I watch the line Start blur again I hold my breath It takes the floor Every time I hide It wants more [Chorus] Alter Ego Inside my body Alter Ego Can't nobody stop me Two names, one face One heart, one fire Alter Ego Pulling me higher [Bridge] If you see me smile That's not the whole truth There's a second pulse Running right through I can fight it hard I can let it lead Either way tonight It lives in me [Final Chorus] Alter Ego Inside my body Alter Ego Can't nobody stop me Two names, one face One heart, one fire Alter Ego Pulling me higher Alter Ego (inside my body) Alter Ego (now I feel the heat)
