lyrics

You were so invested
The pool has been infested
It’s people eating people
And someone else’s ego
Is making you a target
A military target
These systematic artists
Are making you a target

I still remember all the corporate spies watching me
Tried to synthesize my sense of self but they’re still missing me
I feel so dead, but I know that the artist is staring at my face
The truth conceptualized a lie machine — he touches your waist

We keep the gods in line.
Power is an ugly shape.
I keep myself divine, mortal sage to mortal sage.
We’ve got a pressure mine waiting for the magistrate.
I keep myself divine and mortal.

Life, pain, death: just a phase.
Try: light yourself ablaze.

We keep the gods in line.
Power is in ugly shape.
I keep myself divine, mortal sage to mortal sage.
We’ve got a pressure mine waiting for the magistrate.
I keep myself divine and mortal.
