Attempted destruction
Of the bridges & roads
Mass poisoning
People forced out of their homes
Civilian casualties
Numbered past the counting line
And every headline
Turned the blood to design
What is this rule protecting?
What is it costing?
And who decided
That tradeoff?
Look at the wreckage
Look at the plain sight
Everybody saw it From the first night
The shape was there Before the lie The mask was thin You
just walked by
What is this rule that I worship?
What do I buy?
& who is this law that I worship?
Tell me why
The makeup isn't the story
The makeup is the distraction
The makeup isn't the story
It was always the action
The reveal isn't The clown was secretly evil The reveal is
Why did everyone keep focusing on the clown part?
Because the evidence Was in plain sight Almost immediately Under the light
No grand mystery
No hidden switch Just a crowd so eager
To miss what it is
Look at the wreckage Look at the fight
Everybody saw it
From the first night The shape was there Before the lie The
mask was thin You just walked by
What is this rule that I worship?
What do I buy?
And who is this law that I worship?
Tell me why
The makeup isn't the story
The makeup is the distraction
The makeup isn't the story It was always the action
I don't need a twist
I need a reckoning
I don't need a costume
I need the receipts
The face in the mirror
Was never the point
It was the hands behind it
& the room's defeat
What is this rule that I worship?
What do I buy?
& who is this law that I worship?
Tell me why
The makeup isn't the story
The makeup is the distraction
The makeup isn't the story It was always the action
The makeup isn't the story
No, the damage is the fact
The makeup isn't the story & we never look back
