about

Written by Vincent Teetsov.

lyrics

Looking out the window,
pulled the curtain to the side.

Saw my visage in the undergrowth,
destroyed by all that pride.

He was a good man.
Very tall and content I believe.
Wouldn't think anything were off or wrong,
except maybe something he was trying to hide.

This is an ode to my doppelgänger,
you pesky clone of mine.
I'd work on my appearances but I,
just don't have the time.

This is an ode to my doppelgänger,
you pesky clone of mine.
I'd work on my appearances but I,
just don't have the time.

I can't help feeling jealous of what he is and what he'll be.
Like a better version of me.
Ahead by a program patch or two, but devoid of human needs.

You see, you can't hide away something forever,
before it eats you up inside.
One can't contain an inner beast,
before it breaks and shows who you are...

This is an ode to my doppelgänger,
you pesky clone of mine.
I'd work on my appearances but I,
just don't have the time.

You pesky clone of mine.
(I'd work on my appearances but I, just don't have the time.)

This is an ode to my doppelgänger,
you pesky clone of mine.
I'd work on my appearances but I,
just don't have the time.

...You pesky friend of mine.
I'd work on my appearances but I,
just don't have the time.

...You pesky friend of mine.
I'd work on my appearances but I,
just don't have the time.

You pesky clone of mine.
