Inadequate

In preparation To prove myself worthy before the council, I'm leaking Drenched in sweat, I lie in wait prepared to deliver the punchline Needing to manipulate my worth before the trail In order to expose wretched snakes in their bare skin Oh Lord, the irony You've sold yourself short Only short of indulgence You are set up now Solely to fail Proven to be Inadequate The firе in your eyes It inspires only carеless preachers Incompetent acceptance You walk through thin lines with negligence Washed up, I'm washed up in the tides Now my dedication, questioned and meticulous We aim to return, procuring assistance Carrying on, my influence is strong My influence is strong With the horde now at your six and starboard They'll rip the skin, exposing bone Their towers built, laid with bricks of cardboard Blown away by the slightest wind The echo chamber is dampened No longer carrying sound, cease the ensemble The podium that once stood tall and proud Collapsed through combustion and betrayal The sails have burned, they have lost all momentum It won't save them from their shame So pretentious, was it all worth it? Your honor, your disgraceful condescension unneeded My influence is strong Leveraging jurisdiction to my will My influence is strong May your reputation bend to my will My influence is strong Leveraging jurisdiction to my will My influence is strong May your reputation bend to my will Prepare yourself To stand before the council You're drenched in sweat Awaiting the trial prescribed Anxious, leaking Intended to prove your worth Destined (Destined), languished (Languished) Destined to sit in dirt Your reputation will rob you blind Proven to be inadequate
