[ Featuring heircules ]
As I stand on the temple steps, my future beckons
This is what I searched for, I put down my weapons
I lurch forward with a cautious approach
I'm not used to these conclusions, so I'm taking it slow
Uh, I leave behind the man that I pretend to be
All the vicious, egotistic, simple imagery
We can't be on the same side for symmetry
Every single brain is divided and working differently
Did I really change? I'm not even sure
If I failed, is the devil knocking at my door
Ignorance is bliss, you ain't listen now the people mourn
One by one, your presence fades, no second chances, never born
Since the days of coming up, learning peace and prayer
I was silent, building up the walls, I'd rather play it safer
Others taught to love, I wondered, should I trust my neighbor
Placate with the fake grace in exchange for labor
I was taught to never blame the game, just the player
Let them underestimate you while you're stacking paper
Taking leaps and bounds while I'm locked up in my chamber
Never perfect, but I swear I'm always getting better
Peep the temple for the silent movers checking shelter
Leave your ego at the door, plead before you enter
Find the space inside your head, let the worry shed
Restore your balance and wait, the cycle starts again
Pray
