ID

Twenty Twenty-six. Every saint needs a sinner.

Every sinner needs somebody worse.

Sirens wail on the edge of town

Said the poor came in to burn it down

Kids in hoods with Molotov eyes

Swear they're feeding on civilized lies

Preacher cries from a neon screen

Says the freaks want to kill the queen

So I lock my doors and count my prayers

Evil's always out, out there

ID me - My heart is pure

Scan my soul

You'll find the cure

Print my past, it's clean, I'm sure

ID me - No sins, no lure

Scrolling down and the pulses spike

Faces blur in the static light

Deep in chatrooms, truth gets bent

Threads connect what never meant

They say the world's run by shadow kings

Pulling wires on human things

So I sharpen words, I stay prepared

'Cause evil's always there, out there

ID me - my record's clear

The evil ones, they're over there, near

Check my prints, I've nothing to fear

ID me - don't look too near

Streets at night got a bloodstain glow

Every face is a mask I don't know

They say the wires belong to crews

Spinning chaos like pay-per-news

Sirens stutter like broken drums

Even the lawman's badge feels numb

So I pace my walls, I stake my claim

Evil's always got a name, their name

ID me - I'm not like them

My hands are clean

Don't need to pretend

ID me - Again, again

Just don't ask me where I've been

There's a voice that don't shout, just hums

Is this the life you've learned to numb?

Always a shape to blame, a name to frame

A victim to play, name of the game

ID me - oh, there it is

The shadow's grin behind my lips

Scanned my soul, I flinched, I hissed

ID me - I'm on the list

I feel better

Lighter somehow

Can't say where the weight went

But it's quiet now

ID me - my record's clear

The evil ones, they're over there, near

Check my prints, I've nothing to fear

ID me - Don't look too near

ID me - I'm not like them

My hands are clean

Don't need to pretend

ID me - Again, again

Just don't ask me where I've been

ID me - oh, there it is

The shadow's grin behind my lips

Scanned my soul, I flinched, I hissed

ID me - I'm on the list

Ah, yeah

ID me
