When I Grow Up, I Wanna Be The Hamburglar

from Allude To Illusion by ANCESTOR

lyrics

Black out the sky – make sure you’re all they see; don’t stop until you hear a chorus of clenched chattering teeth behind lips to shocked to speak your name. Manipulator, you’ve put on quite the splendid show, don’t let them catch their breath just yet. I saw through your guise quite some time ago, a convincing illusion – the perfect suit to cover those bones: a composite of regret and fear. Off your high horse, you’re no different then those that are the focus of your rhetoric. You know you’re all the same. The face in the mirror: your real enemy. Peel back the skin so you finally see who’s looking back from underneath. Before you raise your voice, are you familiar with the subject (or yourself [its source] for that matter)? or is it just a play to compensate? Now, we’ve all made our mistakes. We’ve all been wronged and been wrong ourselves…pomposity doesn’t make you their mouth piece. Wake up. You don’t even know yourself. Get off your high horse and face the mirror. You don’t speak for me, or my beliefs, or the lessons that I’ve learned. You don’t speak for me, or my beliefs, or the things i’d shed blood for. You do not speak for me, save your breath. You don’t speak for me, or my beliefs, or the plight that I’ve endured.. so save yourself.
