Lyrics
Searching, Wandering Looking for the perfect specimen Still pure, immature Acknowledged sickness concealed, swaggering Unseen, stalking Ascertain the prey Creeping quietly

Gracious second skin Courteous facade accepted The cultured do not harm Fitting in amongst the sheeple

Purpose clear Sheltered secret Unsoiled inceptive Infantile delight The itch that needs attention Clandestine recreation Craving obscured outside Covering unbridled pretense

Breaks from the masquerade Unrestrained fleeting moments reminiscence To comprehend the need, ecstasy Schizophrenic lies, seeking explanation

No excuse Unchecked, no reasoning Devoid of disease Disguised expertise Living in the shroud of ordinary Waiting to unleash the polished skill set

Plethora of just rewards Life through the power of the conquered Repulsed by the dormant time Disgusted by outlook of offspring should not breed

Arrogance in no one looking Not suspected in any wrongs Knowing steps of specialized inquiry Superiority on display Flaunting prowess prodding counterparts Provocation stands unanswered Divergence of standard procedure Bestowment of allusion granted

Come on, false rival

No excuse, unchecked, no reasoning Devoid of disease, disguised expertise Living in the shroud of ordinary Waiting to unleash the polished skill set
