Lyrics

I got to be for an offer of virtue

I am open to an offer of virtue

Once in and taken apart

Once engaged and disassembled

This is the shape of interference

Describing the form of interference

Please do not adjust your heart

Please refrain from adjusting your emotions


Now touching the edges of something

Currently exploring the boundaries of something

Wanting to find truer response

Seeking a more authentic response

Could I ever erase the influence?

Contemplating the possibility of eliminating external influences

Brushing in against what's understood

Coming into contact with what is already understood


Dredging, shifting, basing, phrasing

Exploring, changing, establishing, expressing

Once in and taken to heart

Once involved and deeply absorbed

I fought your red color

Resisting the influence of your intense emotions

I scratch your head again

I challenge or provoke your thoughts once more


Now touching the edges of something

Currently exploring the boundaries of something

Wanting to find truer response

Seeking a more authentic response

Could I ever erase the influence?

Contemplating the possibility of eliminating external influences

Brushing in against what's already understood

Coming into contact with what is already understood


Staring, trying, embracing, gazing

Gazing, attempting, embracing, staring

I shot your silver dollar

I have influenced your decisions significantly

Fill the space within your hearts

Filling the void within your hearts

You wear my golden collar

You carry the weight of my authority


Now touching the edges of something

Currently exploring the boundaries of something

Wanting to find truer response

Seeking a more authentic response

Could I ever erase the influence?

Contemplating the possibility of eliminating external influences

Brushing in against what's already understood

Coming into contact with what is already understood
