Do you think that you you could be me.
A god complex with the devil's obscurity
Do you think that you could handle the truth, from a self obsessed prophet with nothing to lose.
Its not like I ever asked for this
Enslaved to a world where I could never exist
The universes humour never lost on me
A tragic protagonist in a cosmic parody
Always the sinner and never the Saint
My actions are defined by perspective
Never the hero and always defamed
My words mean nothing if you won't let them
Never the Saint and always the sinner
My illusions always in vein
Always the loser and never the winner
I built this world around my distance
I always rose to adversity
Proverbial chains could never bind me
This illusion a piece of my brain
Where the King's and vagabonds call me insane
Do you even know what you believe in
You don't hate me you just hear my freedom
Preaching amidst the mindless flocks
Picking the bones of the Cadmian Fox
Chorus
I think I've been lost in translation
It's been hard to see
A figment of my imagination
Am I really me
I've realised time it waits for no man
The clock is ticking down
I hear the bells ringing for me
Can you hear the sound
My blood it feels it turns to ashes
I'm choking through my veins
I've seen my life through these lashes
All I see is rain
Before I lose myself again to my philosophy
Do you wanna know who I am
IM THE PARADOXIAL MAN
