3rd track on Dead Reckoning - about imposter syndrome

lyrics

Accidentally
Music & lyrics by Kat Reinhert ©2017exerguemusic

I’m like a Rubik cube, all twisted into multicolored, patterned little blocks
I can look put together, with matching even yellow squares along my flattened top
But turn me
And you will see
I’m just a rainbow in disguise

‘Cause all the things that I’ve become are just the roles that I have played
And every time a new intriguing part appears, I act it out ‘till I’m not afraid
I fall on my face, and you think that it’s a fluke
‘Cause I’m really good at hiding the truth

‘Cause I’m accidental
Accidentally
Accidentally, me.

I can quote solos by Ella, Miles and Parker, Mingus, Ellington and Monk
I can cite Shakespeare, with Heidegger and Csikszentmihalyi throwing down the funk
Unwrap me
And you will see
I’m just a line away from jump

But I’ll help you find your sovereign truth, as I keep losing mine
Have you seen a heart of gold, I think I left mine on the line
Oh there’s no turning back from this life that I chose to lead
Cause I’ve made many many beds and it’s led me to believe

That I’m accidental
Accidentally
Accidentally, me.

I’ve been to doctors, who tell me that there’s nothing wrong, my frontal cortex rocks
I guess there’s something in all of these abilities I’ve stacked like Lego blocks
So ask me
And you will see
I’m just an expert in disguise

‘Cause I’ve come to realize that all these parts that I have played
Taught me things that no books or degrees could teach me anyways
And now I understand this imposter can’t be real
‘Cause I’ve lived all the things I know, and that’s my kind of deal

So I’m accidentally
Happily accidental
Accidentally, me.
