shapeshifter | variation 3

(he gave his advice)

avoid these shady shapes
creeping through the sand

try to avoid these pathways
of shapeshifting insecurities

try to avoid these
shapeshifting mountains

you must walk!
stay afloat!
you must walk!
stay afloat!

silent words
that cut deep in the flesh
you must go on

every contact throws me back
to where it began
you must go on

walk!
stay afloat!
you must walk!
stay afloat!

(he hears his laughter)

once again, i'll rise
it is all about me

(singing to the rhythm of ignorance)

uhh mhbap bap bap
scibbedi bap bap bdap dap

walk!
stay afloat!
you must walk!
stay afloat

(a self-fulfilling prophecy)

proudly marching
out of this mouth
that spat his name out
a ruthless shapeshifter

don't you dare to accuse me
the summoning's complete
and you will need me

(the defeated)

be my guest nested in my head

(changes in his face)

you have had your chance
now it's my turn
to be in charge
to have the upper hand
and choke off every attempt
at taming me with reason
