| You walk in like Birkin, monologue 'em into the light
|
| A preacher in a playhouse somewhere 'round the corner outside
|
| I heard you’re no first-time offender
|
| You’re no pretender
|
| You got the room in your hand, they never fully understand
|
| All the power you found driftin' through the window outside
|
| No allegiance to legal tender
|
| You don’t keep it on the inside
|
| No shadows in your mind
|
| You seem to drift across that line through the ceiling
|
| You don’t try to define it, simplify and confine it
|
| You’re unphased
|
| Unaffected, unafraid of what you do not know
|
| An altar for energy, we come close to witness it
|
| In order to love her, there’s a target above her
|
| I lean in real close as an informer
|
| What if you’re just a performer?
|
| You hear a whisper, but the bodies follow closely now
|
| You just smile, ask me to take a seat on the stairs
|
| Not the night for another bender
|
| Cannot stray from the center
|
| You could never be broken in the morning light
|
| But as you leave, I start to see
|
| I see what it’s cost you, I miss the imposter
|
| Pretender, pretender, I start to think that I’ve lost you
|
| I’m ashamed that I thought I could define you
|
| Simplify and confine you
|
| I know, I know, darling, I know it’s a shame
|
| We’re all afraid of what we do not know
|
| Scattered debris and you were spinning uncensored
|
| An elegance I remember
|
| Don’t you keep it on the inside
|
| Unphased, unafraid
|
| You’ve been here before |
