The Agonist

Craving possession
Material obsession
You function solitarily
On lower brain transmission

You want it, you need it
You're never gonna get it
Cause really what you're chasing
Is a lie to begin with

Paralyze
Manufacture aspiration
Design the ideal outcome
Would you like to hear your story?

All this time you've played the part
A part that was chosen just for you
Bite down on the painless
Enter the gates of Horn and Ivory

With fire at my back
I will tame the waters
I will learn to swim
Fear is not my master

How do I Breathe?
You will choke
How do I walk?
You will fall
Instinct to the extinct
Paralysis by analysis

Trapped in delusions
Ghosts are out to haunt you
The world you've grown to love
Is slowly crumbling

You need it, you want it
You're never gonna get it
Cause really what you're after
Is a fictional desire

With fire at my back
I will tame the waters
I will learn to swim
Fear is not my master

Enter the gates of Horn and Ivory
