The Heretic

No plan, you're an idiot
What were you thinking?
Prancing out to the west coast
Like somehow
Your chances are different
Like what?
I'm not sure whose Kool Aid you sipping
But newsflash: still ain't nobody listen to-
YOU
But you already knew that didn't you?
Asked the crowd at your release show
If anyone copped your debut
Not one hand went up
Hmm might be tougher than you envisioned
At least I'm there to clean up
After all of your poor decisions
Another 40 at the 9-5
Feels like all I do
I do to keep you alive
Well, well, well now we've come to a point where
Looks I do or you die
How you gonna explain this to them
Why I'm playing the villain while
You're the one playing pretend
Who really are you?
Might wanna look again
Take another look through the lens
You call yourself the hero
But real heroes are made within
You're not aware of it, but...
It's all about to end
Who really are you?
Might wanna look again
You're not aware of it but
You are the-
I do not get it
Could you please inform me
What you are doing for humanity
Don't you dare ignore me
I am the reason you're still above water
Breathing I gave you what you wanted
And this is how you repay me
Wasn't this situation
Supposed to be temporary?
A stepping stone
Are you incompetent or just lazy?
It's crazy thinking back to the days
We thought the same
Nowadays I can't imagine returning to that page
You're re-reading, reading, reading
How you gonna explain this to them
Why I'm playing the villain while
You're the one playing pretend
Who really are you?
Might wanna look again
Take another look through the lens
You call yourself the hero
But real heroes are made within
You're not aware of it, but...
It's all about to end
Who really are you?
Might wanna look again
You're not aware of it but
You are the-
Look
I'm the voice of your reason
I won't make this complicated
You're smarter than this
Your time's over
Makes no sense to resist
This is real life
Not some fantasy in your head
I'm not saying that it's wrong
To have something to believe in
But dreams aren't real
Just because you believe em
So when I'm telling you it's over
It's cause I'm the one that's bleeding
Gave you chance after chance and you blew it
Game over
How you gonna explain this to them
Why I'm playing the villain while
You're the one playing pretend
Who really are you?
Might wanna look again
Take another look through the lens
You call yourself the hero
But real heroes are made within
You're not aware of it but...
You are the heretic
Everyday you wake up
And put on that suit and tie
Look him in the eye
Ask him is this the life you wanted?
Cause that's what you gotta decide
You going deeper and deeper
Gusto was buried in debt
But you getting buried alive
I'm here to remind you
The past doesn't bind you
Stop hitting rewind you gotta put
LA behind you there's time
You're about to hit the breaking point
Pretty soon it'll just be you
To answer to your excuses
And when you do
I won't be there to juice you up
It'll just be you
Standing there answering questions from people forgotten
Who pretended to care
I regret to inform you
The ending's slowly approaching
Your window's closing
I see the darkness calming encroaching
Least you could do
Is give them an encore to
Your final show
Show them the you
You were too insecure to
If you got any strength left
I would hold on to virtue
I'm gone
