lyrics

Chapter 19: The Prophet

Well, you talk about a soul deficiency,
And you wax about a man who's come undone,
And you speak in opposition, then before our very eyes
Say so long and hallelujah, better him and he than me.

And it's easy! It's so easy
To make it seem the secret's inside of you.

You're a plot device, you speak in pronouns,
And disfigurement suggests the same within,
Did you strike into the darkness and escape a different man
Or are you just a reference to an older way of writing books?

And it's easy! It's so easy
To make it seem the secret's inside of you.
