[Intro] You did not desire. (no) You imitated. (copy) Then you signed. (signed) [Verse 1] [Heavy, syncopated, double bass, growl] The model points. (there) You salivate. (crave) You call it yours. It was born between. Closer model — harder fire. Brother. Master. Pocket god. Same altar. Same prey. Not the thing. The hand that holds it. Mediator to obstacle. Obstacle to holy. [Pre-chorus] [Climb, screams] The crowd needs a name. (a name) Any name that bleeds. Glue the pack. (bleed) The goat explains nothing. He stops the noise. Lift him. Crush him. Then swear he earned it. [Chorus] [Wide, raw] MIMIC. (mimic) MIMIC. (mimic) Your desire has no clean blood. It wears another man’s face. MIMIC. (mimic) MIMIC. (mimic) You run at the object — You meet a twin. (the glass) Then you hunt a goat So you don’t have to look. [Verse 2] [Visceral, almost screamed] You want it because he wants it. You hate it because he loves it. Two alike. One seat. Pack sniffs the weak. Pack finds the throat. Pack eats its own And names it justice. Herd. Herd. [Pre-chorus] The myth starts When the victim turns monster So the copy stays hidden. Who did you copy Before you called it freedom? (who?) Who taught you want Before you could speak? (who?) [Chorus] MIMIC. (mimic) MIMIC. (mimic) Your desire has no clean blood. It wears another man’s face. MIMIC. (mimic) MIMIC. (mimic) You run at the object — You meet a twin. (the glass) Then you hunt a goat So you don’t have to look. [Breakdown] Your “I” is an armed echo. (echo) Your enemy is too much like you. That is why you hate him. KILL HIM. (kill him) KILL HIM. (kill him) The pack is hungry. The pack is blind. The pack is you. The pack is you. [Bridge] [Clean guitars, hymnic, then weight returns] Name the goat — The spell breaks. No cheap peace. No sacred corpse. Only naked want. No origin. No alibi. [Solo] [Wide, melodic, brief chaos] [Final chorus] MIMIC. (mimic) MIMIC. (mimic) Your desire has no clean blood. It wears another man’s face. MIMIC. (mimic) MIMIC. (mimic) You run at the object — You meet a twin. (the glass) Then you hunt a goat So you don’t have to look. MIMIC. MIMIC. [Outro] [Spoken, bass alone, dying] Look at whoever you want. (watch) You will see who you are. Stop hunting a guilty man. The model is already in the room.
