lyrics

I am Hypocrates

The god of whom does not exist

How dare you push your thoughts on me?

As I jump at the chance to debase you entirely

I know that you’ll never know of a status infallible

I am the oracle

With judgment devoid of experience

Try and climb to me

An entrapment to fill your tattered shoes with hindsight

I bid you the very worst on your tumble back down

I dare you

Try and climb to me

An entrapment to fill your tattered shoes with hindsight

I bid you the very worst on your tumble back down

I crave you backing down

(I am the tendency to dissolve you and I)

I am of flawless retrospect

Rejecting any opposition

As it is incorrect

My place above common ground

You said it yourself

A mask to masquerade around

Unaccompanied - but won't you still need

Someone to hear you?

I am absorbing their warmth
However temporary
So specious in creed

This casuistry

My torches alight
They’re blinding your sight

I have a gaze that's unending
Misanthropocene

Where the terms are my own

I exit this world

I’ve made this trip many times before

Using you to boost myself up higher and higher

No regrets, moving on to the next

And the next down the line refuses my request

I have acquired everything

Inside I hold the blueprints

To the gears I’ll never grind

And as mortality surfaces at day’s close

It’s always, always cold up here
