Imitation

Believe you're the only one

Real followers through deception

Know I won't be in unison

Force another shallow connection

Pass it all by think

You're still at the center

Let it all waste away as you sit and ignore

Believe they never knew before you entered

Like the others that came far before

CHORUS

Go play off another cliche

Call it all your own

I'll hold onto the things

That you've never known

Find yourself held to common boundaries

Down beyond the tortured rhythmic spell

By distorted and disposable ideals

Past the depths and perils of manmade hell

You try to fill your voids with avoidance

Then follow footsteps in manipulation

Part of the chain is all you've ever been

And question intensions of the misshapened

[Imitation]

CHORUS

View truth through what you find sacred

Contrast should not be feared

If you want my submission

You won't find it here

For that bright hope at last

And that light time have past

And my worldly rest hath gone

With a sigh as it passed on

Let none of earth inherit

That vision of my spirit

Those thoughts I would control

As a spell upon his soul

CHORUS

View truth through what you find sacred

Contrast should not be feared

If you want my submission

You won't find it here
