[ Verse 1 ]
Start the game. K.O. Boy knockout.
You want my vow, I'll beat you out.
Spark up a flame. Who's the ember now?
Student, teach me. Come show me how.
Have the might, curse me, hex and blight.
Allowing me eternity in just a night.
Simulate my fantasies and then ignite.
Manipulated fallacies from flee to fight.
[ Chrous x2]
I don't know why you would. (X4)
Why you would... (X4)
[Verse 2 ]
Bust a plus. Whirlwind gust my trust.
All evident points connect to lust
Commiserate on everything except for us.
Am I trippin'? Is this heaven? Are you angel dust?
Host and pass or cardiac heist and gas,
In the middle of a present you bowed with past.
Allow me to get the dishes while you hose the grass,
Instead of cleaning fingerprints off our house of glass.
[ Chorus x2 ]
[ Verse 3 ]
What comes around from a roundabout?
Tell me why my tongue gets twisted when its in your mouth.
Show me where consistencies intersect with doubt,
And reveal to all the (X,Y) of this fallout.
What can be said for what hasn't been said?
Find me upright awaitin my cocoon to shed.
Show me to the guillotine and claim my head.
As a trophy of the fallen and the walking dead.
[ Chorus x2 ]
[ Bridge x2]
Pretense. Pretense.
Vaudeville fable duo performance.
Defense. Defense.
Devils in the detail vie for their repents.
[ Chorus x2 ]
Why you would...
