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
