An Act For Man
weve been watching the foreshadowing
of the perfect act
writing it together
to where the pieces fit perfectly at this time
we are the masters of our art
and you cheer us towards perfecting your life
table talk advice
of the deadlocked
lets talk
invitational sideways glance
what no romance
gotta walk the walk backwards
set up the puzzle
with the prizes
not even nice about it
gonna take it over
find out my own way
you already did
hindsight of what we learned
generational advice
learned well
saw my lessons
learned to dupe you
best weapon of humour
learned to make good choices and friends
out of step
in the limelight
cheering you on for your encore
you'll get it right
tick tock
tick tick
one day
see it my way
cornered you this way
reality game show of intelligence of hopw the bigboys play
lets go halves on the new world order under rug sweep it
on the same team
one more birthday
one more shadow to keep me distant
nevermind me
nevermind what yopu learned from me
what you earned from me
i just walk around like you dont know me
but you never really owed me
and yet you still dont know me
one day you will meet me
Stolen empire of the village of badwater
hands reaching for thirst in their hour
hindsight their only advice of the wisdom found by robbing the lessons of their forefathers
fingers pointing at all the sins hung on jesus in the dirty water
