The Author Lyrics

the search has begun

this is page one

men meet your maker

i give you the author...



he may seem familiar because he looks like your mirror

you've lied like a lawyer, but don't deny it

when you're...

face to face with demons

dancing off mirror images reflecting all that you wanted...

so far from perfect.



onward, we will strive

take it for what it's worth

this truth that you've realized

you're not who you thought you were

it's time you see the other side of...

what you have become,

nothing but your single serving selfish chapters

of sacrificial moral standards

no stranger to apathy in bold situations

take your time to make it happen

leave your mirror and spare your excuse as a self-serving actor

so close to perfect



it's all the same, no face or complexion

you're not worth what you're spending

when you're screaming "danger, danger!"

don't stop, go on alone

desperate endeavor

you've got to take it or leave it

if you will

not so convincing that you're the only one here who can't be like me



the search has begun, leave your letters but it won't matter

take back what is left before your death

but is it really you that they suspect

you take shots, who's the figure before the flame

it's not hard to spark, but it's hard to master

so look for the answer



single serving selfish chapters on your condition

lust and liars

so get out, stop dreaming, if you're one for breathing

sacrificial moral standards of two reflections...

truth and fire

something you'll live for

so close to perfect



it's all you've got, one chance for conviction

lies fuel fires, and your suspect won't walk

you're screaming "danger, danger!" don't, don't stop

just go on alone

desperate endeavor

you've got to take it or leave it

if you will

not so convincing that you're the only one who could be like me



from this point on, the way you thought it would all work out

but we've hit autumn, just follow the story

the fall of the author

just one more year, and you'll cease to regret

one on one to repent, all eyes are fading

sleep alone
