[Intro: Skullkruncher13]
Back for the encore, I'll always come for it
(I know you wanted it)
Death is at the door, I won't succumb to it
(Don't bother knockin' it)
I'm putting on a show, I hope my costume fits
(Call in all the kids)
It will be grandiose (Like a narcissist)

[Verse 1: Skullkruncher13]
I am anomalous in my robotic processes
I put the life in the party, but I'm the opposite
I look at my reflection and I'm one with it
Just like the depth of any mirror, there is none to it
Don't-don't-don't put your trust in me, you won't be comforted
Trust is an edge and I've been taught to cut with it
All for the leverage, I'll prop myself up with it
'Cause this is showbiz, so a showman's all you're gonna get
You might just find the skeletons I've closeted
What's inside the box? Break the lock right off of it
Take this rusty husk, dust the cobwebs off of it
My cover's slipping, yet I've simply come too far to quit
Behind this friendly facade, evil is dominant
Ego balloonin', impugnment ain't poppin' it
'Cause I'm the director, my actors are talentless
So let me control 'em, make sure no one is autonomous
Here comes a one-man marching band
See this army of puppets, I'm in charge of them
With a performance so electric, I'm conducting them
They wanted out, but now they've sprung another lock again
Look upon my face, I just adopted it
Familiar is the pain, I've come to foster it
To make me whole, I'll break your soul like a lobotomist
But on an atomic level, I'm the anatomic mess
My coffin is a walking grave, how preposterous
I'll lead a posthumous parade, so cacophonous
How pompous a display, did I say I'm a narcissist?
No wonder why I hate to stay anonymous
But I'm not dropping this charade 'til I've exhausted it
I keep the monster underneath, but he's prosperin'
I'm stronger in the darkness, what ironic confidence
The kind of artist who is carvin' out his audience
[Pre-Chorus: Skullkruncher13]
Is this all just a projection
Or another misdirection?
Don't we all want a distraction
From that which we have no protection?

[Chorus: Skullkruncher13]
Like your own reflection
Looking back from the other side
You thought you knew him, what a deception
Coming back for another bite if it's inhuman
No imperfection like a mask I pull off at night
My every movement beyond perception and all detection
Are you the real one or my reflection?

[Bridge: Andrea Storm Kaden]
Red, his hands, and dead his eyes
Blueprints stained, it's our doom designed
With these gift-wrapped reveries, disguising lies
Time to tie the bow and then enlighten lives

[Verse 2: Skullkruncher13]
I'm not a person, I'm just been impostin' him
Call me the big bad, I'm one more blow from bustin' in
'Cause I've been tryin' to warn you, a child cried wolf
But people are sheep, pulled their eyes behind wool
Studied sadistic psychopathy, got my doctorate
Buckle up 'cause I'm no longer inoperate
My precious puppet turned on me, and now I'm strung to it
But if you thought you stopped my heart, you put the jump in it
Nobody bother to scream, because I'll muffle it
You're stuck with us in here, just like we're stuffed in it
Look at what we've become, something amalgamous
If you don't wanna play your part, you will, 'cause I'll insist
I built a body count on hollow promises
I got a list of 'em, it's so long, it's almost bottomless
Sorta like Santa Claus, but I don't come with gifts
Nonetheless, once I find your line, I'm crossin' it
Just like a virus in your system, I've corrupted it
I kinda find it like a job, so when I'm punchin' in
I look forward to my shift, but when I'm off again
I'll rip off my skin because the job is all I am
[Chorus: Skullkruncher13]
Is a reflection
Comin' back from the other side
Your point of view is just a deception
Coming back for another bite to become human
I am pretendin' like a mask I pull off at night
My every movement gave you direction, then you forget them
Don't fight your demons, you must respect them
I'll make you need them, if not invent them
Now I'm the real one, you're the reflection!
