Casual Lyrics

I had been spying for years
reversed my ears to hear the inside instead of out
fear and doubt proceeded discovery
I'd uncovered me, plenty of Hermes wannabes
lost their wings to the life mystery
History blisters me with truth and density
memories, like destinies
remain untouchable
the present presents presents
lessons to give or to receive? This question's evident
I am confident in my apparent specialist quest
agent intelligence
having already studied my own relovence
I remain anonymous You have not seen me
Mr. No Identity frequently spying your frequencies
Recording and deleting theories honestly

[CHORUS]

Casual
The hiss of this abyss is bliss
Casual
A ringing in my ears is refreshment
After a time of having my presence go unnoticed
the finest of gifts my cloak of mystery suddenly deserted me
The observer
now easily observed
was obvious due to an absurd onslaught of nerves
a bustle, a pound
my body found the ground
slowly surrounded by a society now spying me
Shall we try diplomacy?
My future looks b*****
I'd seen too much and for that I was hated
Yet their ideas I could not condemn
this amount of knowledge was the same reason I hated them
they cut off my tongue saying all senses are related
The crowd afraid of being incriminated
if I relayed these faded observations
I tasted blood
Then only black
was it a setback, the end the edge
a dive from the ledge
without my tongue's life
I am dead.
Incapable of suicide
these thoughts quickly died
if I jumped I would just fly, dip, and rise
And I did
back to consciousness
[CHORUS]
