It’s coming undone, this world that I made
I feel it descending now
The place that I run, or what I run from
The boundary begins to fade
Every word’s a trap to your lies
Every life you try to save dies
You hold the truth like a knife
You couldn’t leave it behind
You’re my impostor
I’m a shadow lost deep inside
Now how does it feel, as you crawl away
The damage you left for me
I drink from your gaze, a new masquerade
I feel your disease growing
You need a villain to save
You left me here in my grave
You came and took it away
This innocence that I cannot replace
Tell me that you were never real
You need another soul to steal
You’re my impostor
You tell me you were never really real
Impostor, my impostor
Impostor, impostor
Tell me that you were never real
You need another soul to steal
You’re my impostor
You tell me you were never really real
I feel it descending now
The place that I run, or what I run from
The boundary begins to fade
Every life you try to save dies
You hold the truth like a knife
You couldn’t leave it behind
I’m a shadow lost deep inside
The damage you left for me
I drink from your gaze, a new masquerade
I feel your disease growing
You left me here in my grave
You came and took it away
This innocence that I cannot replace
You need another soul to steal
You’re my impostor
You tell me you were never really real
Impostor, impostor
You need another soul to steal
You’re my impostor
You tell me you were never really real

Sounds to me like this guy created a whole new self image to hide the parts of him that he cannot escape but is disgusted of. He's seeing his lies and new mask start to crumble and he's coming to grips with the truth he had tried to hide. Now he has to face it and it seems like an impossible task. He can't accept that this is really him, so he cannot solve the problem.
