Wrapped up in your delusion
She is not me
Trapped in your self made hall of mirrors
In this house of horrors the child sees
Lost in the fog of your scent
I am no them
And the child died when the choice came
to break or be broken
You slither past as though the door had been open
And I fall to my knees, cover my face with both hands
Ignore the reflections of a shadow of a man
And I crawl until I can finally breath
Confused about what I was brought here to see
Nothing was real
Just a vacuum within
Soaking up the living
and I pity the child in the state of delusion
** They got smoke and mirrors to evoke our fears
Push past this illusion, they crave our collusion
So we settle nevermore
wrap wrapping at your door
So raven speaking spells to quell the hell that they be raising **
SO remove yourself
Pop into someone else
forget all the things you were told you were not
Because every single thing ain't what you thought
You were everything every movement of the wind
Your potential had no limit
Since the minute you began to begin
Learn to begin again
Dipped into a thin layer of skin
So much energy potential within
An ability to grow that you never get again
Then again
Maybe the shifting never ends
You were everything every movement of the wind
Your potential had no limit
Since the minute you began to begin
Learn to begin again
