Testo Underlyer - Aqueous

Underlyer

Light changes shape
From the side of the glass
Power lines divide us all
I see you all strung up
In someone else’s light
A path you’re forced to walk
A fight you’re forced to fight
There’s nothing noble there
'Cause you been put on the line
A sudden war to wage
It’s meant to twist your spine
It’s hidden well beneath
The ruse of such good times
The underlyer is the reason
Why we live or die
The stakes are higher now
Than anybody knows
They’re there to take you in
Or let it come to blows
If I feel it coming on
And I’m just beside myself
I cannot go another day
I never lose control
Two thirds of my own soul
To re-divide another way
Light changes shape
From the side of the glass
Power lines divide our soul
The path to justice is
Covered in sad goodbyes
A fleeting memory
A piece of your old life
It’s not your game to play
But still you hold the dice
And now you’ve got the gun
To cast in your own light
If I feel it coming on
And I’m just beside myself
I cannot go another day
And I never lose control
Two thirds of my own soul
To re-divide another way
If something’s painted white
It’s never what it seems
A passing glance another chance
To show you what it means
If something’s painted black
Well then who holds the brush?
It’s not your creation now?
It’s not your creation now?
If I feel it coming on
And I’m just beside myself
I cannot go another day
And I never lose control
Two thirds of my own soul
To re-divide another way
