lyrics

Chorus

the mirror image of your fitness

begging you wear bear witness

imperfection reflects your motives to mind your business


Verse 1

what you lost I'm a double in kind that was the promise

faith wasn't top of my mind mostly the profit

uncovering the key to this dream but could have lost it

belief wasn't strong in my mind just being honest

future bright as sun but can't make it out from the cockpit

piloting a life through the eye of the false prophet

swallowing the truth regurgitating the gossip

sun from my lungs they stunned and still watching

common sense a commodity probably so is logic

lies from the pulpit keeping ya spirit hostage

fraud get behind me devil be the accomplice

let the record dub over everything you accomplished

and pounded with the force of forty men in a mosh pit

bonfire burned til the essence is toxic

and met foot first with a aerial drop kick

til it kneels prostrated at the foot of colossus


Verse 2

what you gained i could bury in vain like a syringe

engage 'til the pendulum swings off of the hinge

remove every dream your imagination pretends

remove your beginning before it even begins

when my imagination and your reality start to blend

you can smell the victory oh so vividly on the wind

it smells like electrical charge teen spirit and bitter ends

a smidgen of get it in and interim gods

i'm playing the odds even to win

muttering a path to being human again

VIP access bringing you and a friend

pull up to the table say grace dig in

I bear the name of the creator make'em say it again

from the coin to the grave the life that never ends

drop gems like a bomb that detonates in the wind

ay yo chop bro we did it again
