The Taker (Inspiration)
I feel so ruined and I feel so fake
When I look upon the things I've failed to take
I need inspiration
When I've taken what you've failed to take
My spirit's lifted by your lowly state
I need inspiration
All that I have is all I know that's real
All that is real determines how I feel
I need inspiration
I have to impose all I have on you
Because your adoration, I covet too
I need inspiration
A speck in every eye is all I see
I have contempt for all that is not me
I need inspiration
A competition in me hates the rest
They're all infringements to my perfectness
I need inspiration
