You walk in like Berkin
Monologue 'em into the light
A preacher in a playhouse
Somewhere 'round the corner, outside
I heard you're no first time offender
You're no pretender

You've got the room in your hand
They never fully understand
All the power you found drifting through the window
Outside
No allegiance to legal tender anymore

Keep it on the inside
Notion is a yellow line
You seem to drift across that line
Through the ceiling 
You don't try to define it
Simplify and confine it
You're unfazed, unaffected
Unafraid of what you do not know

An altar for energy
We come close to witness it
In order to love her
There's a target above her
I lean in real close
As an informer
What if you're just a performer

You hear a whisper
But the bodies follow closely now
You just smile
Ask to take a seat on the stairs
Not the night for
Another bender
Cannot stray from the center

You can never be broken
In the morning light
But as you leave
I start to see
I see what it's cost you
I miss the impostor
Pretend the pretender
I start to think that I've lost it
I'm ashamed that I thought I could define you
Simplify and confine you

I know, I know darling
I know it's a shame
We're all afraid of what we do not know

Scattered debris and you were spinning in the center
An elegance I remember
Don't you keep it on the inside
Unfazed, unafraid
You've been here before
