Ambush

I've got that poker face that moves
In and out of traces
Blind to the eyes of a coward
Trying to defy the empowered
They're suspect to the blame
They all forgot my name
But I'm smooth, I've got nothing to prove

We're broken down
Lost in galaxies near and far
With no place to go in the stars
Gotta pop open the chassis and charge
We're all learning
That there's one of us enticed
To make us crawl
And we're hardly holding on but
We could be wrong

I'm not the one to be afraid
In the end, they'll be betrayed
I worked hard to blend between the cracks
And will not be denied the fate
I've taken many lives by the holy knife
And yet, you won't see it comin'
I'm the one who takes the dagger to the eyes

I've got that poker face that moves
In and out of traces
Blind to the eyes of a coward
Trying to defy the empowered
They're suspect to the blame
They all forgot my name
But I'm smooth, I've got nothing to prove
I'm a pretender in my own game
Be careful of wandering eyes
In time, we will ambush the prize

The table's turning, we've been observed
While they've preserved their time to strike
But we're a party of lookalikes
We may dislike this but we're yearning
To stop the clock
Turn it up a notch and start the rise
But the room is filled with lies
What a surprise

I've taken time to infiltrate
They're all my dirty bait
I will cling to darkness anyway
For inside us all, we got intact DNA
I hope I'm not on display
Because once in the spotlight
My design will be their own demise

I've got that poker face that moves
In and out of traces
Blind to the eyes of a coward
Trying to defy the empowered
They're suspect to the blame
They all forgot my name
But I'm smooth, I've got nothing to prove
I'm a pretender in my own game
Be careful of wandering eyes
In time, we will ambush the prize

Intruder alert
There's a homicide inside the dirt
Emergency, intruder alert
Gotta hit them where it all hurts nOW!

We're all gathered in the ring of fire
Because one of us just
Happened to become retired
We can circulate, correlate
One of us would navigate
Not trying to damper on the one we hate
But if it's alright with you
I got a dying crew
So don't skip, don't flip
No abandoning ship count on the dip of our
Fingers on the buzzer, help a brother
Cast judgement on the other, aight?

Hands on the buzzer, intruder alert
There's a homicide inside the dirt
Emergency, intruder alert
Was it you that took them where it hurts?
Hands on the buzzer, intruder alert
There's a homicide inside the dirt
Emergency, intruder alert
You left us for dessert

It was time to come clean
I know how hard it's been to trust in me
I have no alibi, no matter how hard I tried
It was you and you can't deny!

I've got that poker face that moves
In and out of traces
Blind to the eyes of a coward
Trying to defy the empowered
They're suspect to the blame
They all forgot my name
But I'm smooth, I've got nothing to prove

I won this tragic race in an airborne crime
(Blind to the eyes of a coward)
(Trying to defy the empowered)
They could not sus' me out
This ship is now mine
(But I'm smooth, I've got nothing to prove)
I'm a pretender in my own game
Be careful of wandering eyes
In time, we will ambush the prize
