Ambush

I've got that poker face that

Moves in and out of traces

Blind to the eyes of a coward

Trying to defy the empowered

They're suspect to the blame

They all forgot my name

But I'm smooth, I've got nothing to prove

We're broken down

Lost in galaxies near and far

With no place to go in the stars

Gotta pop open the chassis and charge

We're all learning

That there's one of us enticed to make us crawl

And we're hardly holding on

But we could be wrong

I'm not the one to be afraid

In the end, they'll be betrayed

I worked hard to blend between the cracks

And will not be denied the fate

I've taken many lives

By the holy knife

And yet you won't see it coming

I'm the one who takes the dagger to the eyes

I've got that poker face that

Moves in and out of traces

Blind to the eyes of a coward

Trying to defy the empowered

They're suspect to the blame

They all forgot my name

But I'm smooth, I've got nothing to prove

I'm a pretender in my own game

Be careful of wandering eyes

In time, we will ambush the prize

The table's turning

We've been observed

While they've preserved their time to strike

But we're a party of lookalikes

We may dislike this, but we're yearning

To stop the clock, turn it up a notch

And start the rise

But the room is filled with lies

What a surprise

I've taken time to infiltrate

They're all my dirty bait

I will cling to darkness anyway

For inside us all, we got intact DNA

I hope I'm not on display

Because once in the spotlight

My design will be their own demise

I've got that poker face that

Moves in and out of traces

Blind to the eyes of a coward

Trying to defy the empowered

They're suspect to the blame

They all forgot my name

But I'm smooth, I've got nothing to prove

I'm a pretender in my own game

Be careful of wandering eyes

In time, we will ambush the prize

Intruder alert

There's a homicide inside the dirt

Emergency intruder alert

Gotta hit them where it all hurts, NOW!

We're all gathered in the ring of fire

'Cause one of us just happened to become retired

We can speculate, correlate, one of us would navigate

Not trying to damper on the we hate

But if it's alright with you, I got a dying crew

So don't skip, don't flip, no abandoning ship

Count on the dip of our fingers on the buzzer, help a brother

Cast judgement on the other, aight?!

Hands on the buzzer, intruder alert

There's a homicide inside the dirt

Emergency intruder alert

Was it you that took them where it hurt?

Hands on the buzzer, intruder alert

There's a homicide inside the dirt

Emergency intruder alert

You left us for desert!

It was time to come clean

I know how hard it's been to trust in me

I have no alibi, no matter how hard I tried

It was you and you can't deny!

I've got that poker face that

Moves in and out of traces

Blind to the eyes of a coward

Trying to defy the empowered

They're suspect to the blame

They all forgot my name

But I'm smooth, I've got nothing to prove

I won this tragic race

In an airborne crime

(Blind to the eyes of a coward)

(Trying to defy the empowered)

They could not sus me now

This ship is now mine

(But I'm smooth, I've got nothing to prove)

I'm a pretender in my own game

Be careful of wandering eyes

In time, we will ambush the prize
