Schizm - Deflect/Reflect Lyrics

The Image (My Defect)
Is Strategic (To Reflect)
Detailed Minutia (My Defect)
To Protest (To Reflect)

How everyone has bought in, excuses paper-thin

To value (My Defect)
The person (To Reflect)
Refusing (My Defect)
Submission (To Reflect)

A maverick leads the way; Path drawn, we can't abstain

From finding (My Defect)
The courage (To Reflect)
To stand out (My Defect)
For fear of (To Reflect)

The judgment coming their way, acceptance, self decay

The masses (My Defect)
Find comfort (To Reflect)
In numbers (My Defect)
Misguided (To Reflect)

You use a faltered lens
That pierces holes in men
Distorted images
Populous punishments

I pushed through (My Defect)
Deep-rooted (To Reflect)
Reservations (My Defect)
To look within (To Reflect)

You'll find you're one of them, confused next of kin

Now I can't (My Defect)
Keep quiet (To Reflect)
Angst written (My Defect)
Resignations (To Reflect)

The judgment coming their way, acceptance, self decay

Deconstruct (My Defect)
Your need for (To Reflect)
Acceptance (My Defect)
With penance (To Reflect)

A single ray of hope sparked my inner growth

The masses (My Defect)
Find comfort (To Reflect)
In numbers (My Defect)
Misguided (To Reflect)

You use a faltered lens
That pierces holes in men
Distorted images
Populous punishments

You close your eyes, that isn't me
If what you fell lies underneath

That person wasn't me
Bright glow of conceit
Retracted, underneath
Person cut up, so neat
Tormented, shy beast
Broken heart skipped a beat
What entails, mass defeat
Dysfunction full effect

You use a faltered lens
That pierces holes in men
Distorted images
Populous punishments

You reflect an empty soul
I deflect what you sold
