JT Music - Reflection
Back for the encore
I’ll always come for it
(I know you wanted it)
Death is at the door
I won't succumb to it
(Don’t bother knocking it)
I'm putting on a show
I hope my costume fits
(Call in all the kids)
It will be a grandiose
(Like a narcissist)
I am anomalous in my robotic processes
I put the life in the party but I’m the opposite
I look at my reflection and I'm one with it
Just like the depth of any mirror there is none to it
Don't put your trust in me you won't be comforted
Trust is an edge and I've been taught to cut with it
All for the leverage
I'll prop myself up with it
‘Cuz this is showbiz so a showman’s all you’re gonna get
You might just find the skeletons I’ve closeted
What’s inside the box?
Break the lock right off of it
Take this rusty husk
Dust the cobwebs off of it
My cover’s slipping yet I’ve simply come too far to quit
Behind this friendly facade
Evil is dominant
Ego ballooning
Impugnment ain't poppin it
Cuz I'm the director
My actors are talentless
So let me control ‘em
Make sure no one is autonomous
Here comes a one-man marching band
See this army of puppets
I’m in charge of them
With a performance so electric I’m conducting them
They wanted out but now they’ve sprung another lock again
Look upon my face - I just adopted it
Familiar is the pain
I've come to foster it
To make me whole I'll break your soul like a lobotomist
But on an atomic level I’m the anatomic mess
My coffin is a walking grave
How preposterous!
I'll lead a posthumous parade
So cacophonous!
How pompous a display!
Did I say I'm a narcissist?
No wonder why I hate to stay anonymous
But I'm not dropping this charade till I've exhausted it
I keep the monster underneath
But he’s prosperin’
I'm stronger in the darkness
What ironic confidence
The kind of artist who is carving out his audience
Is this all just a projection?
Or another misdirection?
Don’t we all want a distraction?
From that which we have no protection?
Like your own reflection
Looking back from the other side
You thought you knew him
What a deception
Coming back for another bite
If it's inhuman
No imperfection
Like the mask I pull off at night
My every movement
Beyond perception
And all detection
Are you the real one?
Or my reflection?
Red his hands and dead his eyes
Blueprints stained;it’s our doom designed
With these gift-wrapped reveries disguising lies
Time to tie the bow and then enlighten lives
I'm not a person-I've just been impostin' him
Call me the `big bad’
I'm one more blow from bustin' in
Cuz I've been trying to warn you
A child cried wolf
But people are sheep
Pull their eyes behind wool
Studied sadistic psychopathy
Got my doctorate
Buckle up cuz I'm no longer inoperate
My precious puppet turned on me
And now I'm strung to it
But if you thought you stopped my heart
You put the jump in it
Nobody bother to scream because I'll muffle it
You're stuck with us in here
Just like we're stuffed in here
Look at what we’ve become
Something amalgamous
If you don't wanna play your part
You will cause I’ll insist!
I build a body count on hollow promises
I got a list of ‘em
It's so long-It's almost bottomless
Sorta like Santa Claus
But I don't come with gifts
Nonetheless,once I find your line
I'm crossing it!
Just like a virus in your system-I’ve corrupted it
I kinda find it like a job
So when I’m punchin’ in
I look forward to my shift
But when I'm off again
I'll rip off my skin because the job is all I am
Is a reflection
Crawling back from the other side
Your point of view is
Just a deception
Coming back for another bite
To become human
I am pretending
Like a mask I pull off at night
My every movement
Gave you direction
Then you forget them
Don't fight your demons
You must respect them
I'll make you need them
If not invent them
Now I'm the real one
You’re the reflection !
