Underlyer - Aqueous

Light changes shape

From the side of the glass

Power lines divide us all

I see you all strung up

In someone else’s light

A path you’re forced to walk

A fight you’re forced to fight

There’s nothing noble there

'Cause you been put on the line

A sudden war to wage

It’s meant to twist your spine

It’s hidden well beneath

The ruse of such good times

The underlyer is the reason

Why we live or die

The stakes are higher now

Than anybody knows

They’re there to take you in

Or let it come to blows

If I feel it coming on

And I’m just beside myself

I cannot go another day

I never lose control

Two thirds of my own soul

To re-divide another way

Light changes shape

From the side of the glass

Power lines divide our soul

The path to justice is

Covered in sad goodbyes

A fleeting memory

A piece of your old life

It’s not your game to play

But still you hold the dice

And now you’ve got the gun

To cast in your own light

If I feel it coming on

And I’m just beside myself

I cannot go another day

And I never lose control

Two thirds of my own soul

To re-divide another way

If something’s painted white

It’s never what it seems

A passing glance another chance

To show you what it means

If something’s painted black

Well then who holds the brush?

It’s not your creation now?

It’s not your creation now?

If I feel it coming on

And I’m just beside myself

I cannot go another day

And I never lose control

Two thirds of my own soul

To re-divide another way
