A Reflection is All We Have in Common


One brain for admission Two to commence the submission Three for a laugh track Four the media is out of whack Bashing is on my resume You want my soul, how much will you pay The twisting of ones words, oh ellipses You're more important, so forget the misses Tamper with all the interrogating footage, use my face Give them a burning paper trail to trace I'm waiting like a pigeon on a telephone wire Left or right wing, what a comical satire Come close, let me be clearer You and your enemy share the same mirror Your contradicting the pain your inflicting Leave it, hands to do the restricting Stop... read the teleprompter Oh the dove is bleeding My respect for you is receding The olive branch wilts, no need to sublet Put a stamp on it, ha another reject Should of stuck with the king Now we have more necks to wring Crush my larynx, become a federalist by default Collect freedom by pouring buckets of salt Stop pointing fingers, take the blame A real enemy tells you their name Wolf take off your fleece Forget morals, I'll rip the lease I feel a Mary-Sue presence afoot Spread the gasoline, I'll clean up the soot Come close, let me be clearer You and your enemy share the same mirror
