Chris Fehn - The Negative One lyrics

[Verse 1] Fire and caffeine, a lot of nicotine I'm going to burn, so I better tell you everything The competition, the superstition Nevermind ‘cause you're never gonna give in It's a crisis just how you like it The same drama in a different disguise I'm bound to walk with a target on my back At least I'm ready for another attack [Chorus 1] The Lord of lies The morning star You had to be set free Opposing sides Your choices are The negative one and me [Verse 2] Svengali, why are we the enemies? I never follow and I never make apologies Your dementias, are gonna get ya Because your walls can't support each other Settle for the cynical, you're so political You're getting ready ‘cause the first move is critical Reciprocity, somebody's listening What did we learn from our time in captivity? [Chorus 2] The Lord of lies The morning star You had to be set free Opposing sides Your choices are The negative one and me The negative one and me [Refrain] I hope you live To see the day When your world comes up in flames And as you die You see my face You're the only one to blame (f**) [Bridge] The Prescient, the Nascent The quotient (They all will fall) The Cystic, symbolic, condition (Systemic) Egregious, replete with These lesions (Contaminate) Succumb to the selfish Creation (Your failure) [Verse 3] No accountability, divisibility I point a finger but it's always looking back at me The centipede's pulling on the mechanism Unearthing scars of the cataclysm When the innocent begin to circumvent The color fades, but the picture is vibrant What do you believe? Does it matter now? Turn away, the k**er is disavowed [Chorus 2] The Lord of lies The morning star You had to be set free Opposing sides Your choices are The negative one and me The negative one and me [Refrain] I hope you live To see the day When your world comes up in flames And as you die You see my face You're the only one to blame [Chorus 2] The Lord of lies The morning star You had to be set free Opposing sides Your choices are The negative one The negative one The negative one [Outro] The negative one The negative one The negative one The negative one and me The negative one and me The negative one and me And me
