[Chorus: Lykke Li]
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
[Tabs]
This is not the life that we were meant to live
We seldom get the welcome we expect from it
Trying to find a sense of the self, and they censor it
Hell exists in a jealous embellishments we tell our kids
In a midst of rebellion verse hellions who are well equipped
With sedatives and VeriChips, all for your children's benefit
Y'all subscribe to this mindset, more than a million memberships
This is a godless concept, I've brought to kill its wretchedness
I wrestle with my restlessness, no rest for my regiment
When people are gratified with facts that are ratified by rhetoric
Our dreams are within the devils grip guarded by Serapris
I never submit to a venomant rich nemesis
An unsettled rebel, in a need of psychotherapist
Americans will need a medic kit to get their credit fixed
There's an alleged ledge that precipitates the precipice
Adventurous I triple ?? into off the edge into its endlessness
It's evident that we've been lied to
It's true there's an intruder living inside you
They hand you a sh*t pile when you feel so entitled
You spoon it down with a big smile when it's wild
Everything we saw left us more than a bit stifled
I can't sit while they perpetuate this sick cycle
It's like we're equipped with a rifle
Shooting for truth but we missed by 6 miles and hit a little child
There's blatant perjury that was stated purposely
But came adversity but I persevere and make it work for me
Rewired your feeble brain, rearranged its circuitry
You preferred lies, now your 3rd eye needs Lasik surgery
It's a great emergency so, what is it you plan to do?
When you can't locate your own face cuz it's the rarest view
You don't even recognize the eyes that you staring to
Where are you? are you wearing the mask or is it wearing you?
[Chorus-x2]
Your soul let you break free from control, yet you sold it freely
It's the sole reason Satan and Jehovah broke their treaty
Devolve into a lower species so it isn't so beneath me
To be throwing feces at my opponents weekly
I don't completely know how they so discretely manage to stay right below the surface like some old graffiti
You sell your soul for a blowie freebie
You embrace the snake and apple, I escape the shackles no Houdini
Hold it together for my peeps cuz I know they need me
I'm the genuine article, ya'll the Forward CC
I'm like putting the shell up to your ear and hearing the ocean's sea breeze
Put a shell in your ear if you don't believe me
I'm the truth when it's spoken freely
I mean the naked truth like the scrambled porn on the broken TV
This is not a fleeting moment that will go so briefly
I'm not playing, wrote this to rock nations but I ain't holding Beanie
This ain't about achieving perceived success
I have a deeper quest to leave the rest with a means to see their dreams express
Before they're repossessed by the Reaper dressed as a creeping death
Jesus wept cuz he seen the effects when demons fiend for flesh
Ya'll should be upset cuz all the people get is deep in a Visa debt
These are ?? weasel reps as we reelect
Trying to clean a mess my own personal Katrina left
Psychological FEMA camps leave on my cerebral stress
The scene is set I ain't trying to be no B celeb
It's meaningless, cats are saying more but meaning less
They make mother nature pass an achievement test
I'm just trying to defibrillate the heart that's beating beneath their heathen chests
Married to ideas it's quite clear we shouldn't save the day
Cuz one day soon the runaway room will make his great escape
Sleeping was our funeral we probably shoulda stayed awake
But we buried the wrong plot in the wrong plot, and made a grave mistake
[Chorus: Lykke Li & (Bono)]
Somebody stepped inside your soul (oh no)
Somebody stepped inside your soul (oh no)
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till somebody else was in control (till someone else is in control)
Somebody stepped inside your soul (oh no)
Somebody stepped inside your soul (oh no)
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control (someone else is in control)
