I for I

by Jordan Martyr

/

lyrics

Don’t refrain.
Don’t deflate.
Don’t debate.
Don’t relate.
I for I.
Eye for eye.
Fight or flight.
Hide or die.
No rebate.
Stone won’t wait.
Hone one blade.
Own one game.
Break your sign.
Name none mine.
Tame house lion.
Game house crime.
I don’t believe you. Tell me you know me.
I don’t believe you know who you are.
So, I don’t believe you have me at heart.
No, I don’t believe you told me your name.
Though, I knew it all along.
Make the cross. (Don’t ever talk about it)
Stake the loss. (You’re not a god without it)
Wake the boss. (We’ve got a new war to wage)
Make him pay. (Don’t let him slither away)
Darn those socks. (How do you spot a killer?)
Mocks your pain. (Everything is under way)
Harps your brain. (You care but don’t deliver)
Hearts you feign. (You know I’m onto you saints)
Don’t refrain. (You’ve got the wind at your back)
Don’t deflate. (If you can just catch a drift)
Don’t debate. (I never followed the pack)
Don’t relate. (Soars through the air like a stone)
I for I. (The only one I can trust)
Eye for eye. (So poke the other one too)
Fight or flight. (We only do as we must)
Hide or die. (Though I don’t love what we do)
No rebate. (No time to make up your mind)
Stone won’t wait. (Now get your ax to the grind)
Hone one blade. (Kill everything in your path)
Own one game. (Now bathe in the aftermath)
Break your sign. (Don’t try to label the thing)
Name none mine. (You must have ink in your eyes)
Tame house lion. (I do not bow to the king)
Game house crime. (You’re just the lord of the flies)
I don’t believe you. Tell me you know me.
I don’t believe you know who you are.
So, I don’t believe you have me at heart.
No, I don’t believe you told me your name.
