Ideology Is Theft

(album: Along The Shadow - 2016)

Impersonate yourself
It looks all wrong
The mannequin's ascending
To another realm
You dance around your worth
You count it out
The fabric tears completely
And disappears

Dry them up, tear them open
Peel the lids back on everyone

And once you're gone still echoing
Into the space we left between
And I remember when you couldn't stand
Holding onto me so long

You dry off all the ink
In the bright lights
The marking is defective
It never showed
Impersonate yourself
It looks all right
The mirror cracks completely
In another realm

From where I am there's a different view
You can't compare the reflection
It looks all wrong from a higher point
It never shines where you wanted it

Dry them up, tear them open
Peel the lids back on everyone

And once you're gone still echoing
Into the space we left between
And I remember when you couldn't stand
Holding onto me so long
And once you're gone still echoing
Into the space we left between
And I remember when you couldn't stand
Holding onto me so long

Impersonate yourself
It looks all wrong
The mannequin's ascending
To another realm
