Skeptik - Stone Masks lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1: Skeptik] Problem: the suns too bright; solution, blot it out Rotten core ignites the pollution god forgot about Fire and brimstone, the nightcrawlers secret Songs about nothing, still waters are the deepest I mean it when I say it, that's the reason that I say it Dracula backwards, symphonically I slay it Phonically amaze kids, can't be honestly phased it's Sonically based, ironically erase bliss Replace it with knowledge, only the stupor makes em smile I ain't smiled in a while, happiness is not my style I time away the while, while away the time Lay face down on the floor and pretend that I'm fine Blood says I'm next in line, skin says not to be so foolish Mouth says do whatever, just make sure that it's ghoulish Heart stays silent, or do we just not listen? A silver lining, nah, rain just tends to glisten [Hook: Skeptik & Danny G] Mask made of stone Blades carved from bone It's with purpose that we roam Through this place all alone Evolution demands What fate condones Wear the mask to distract We have no faces of our own [Verse 2: Skeptik] If you can't blot it out - well then I guess you'd better join it I don't do this for enjoyment, know that pride is high annoyance I find that light avoidance is a band aid not a suture I just might destroy it, and by it I mean the future If you love it set it free, if you hate it make it dust We know what to do with lust, but not so much with trust A mask is a facade is a feint is a ruse What we lack is a choice when it comes to win or lose We're all here to play a role, but that role's not predetermined Thus if I ever burn it's my own hand I'm burned with Concerned with this world and the axis it turns on It's my job to see that the wick doesn't burn wrong The sun's rays only make my blood blaze I wish I'd never been born some days And some days I wish you'd never been born either Still other days I realize that people are good theater [Hook: Skeptik & Danny G] Mask made of stone Blades carved from bone It's with purpose that we roam Through this place all alone Evolution demands What fate condones We wear the mask to distract We have no faces of our own [Verse 3: Skeptik] Hid our complexions with rock, perfected the plot Neglected their gods and infected the lot I might thirst for blood but that don't mean I gotta have it I'm a god and you're a maggot, you're a drake and I'm a dragon We fight fine in the night time but you might find A bright shine leaves us grasping for a lifeline The statures of statues, existence is art Resist this small fact and we'll rip you apart Necessity - the mother of invention Incessantly - converting men into henchmen Obsessively - and then we shift our attention Progressively towards the escape of this dimension Actions pave roads, intentions form foundations Smirks are just smiles with an underlying statement Y'all can stay complacent, I'll be nowhere adjacent Experimenting in the shadows of the basement
