Paper Armor

The ledger is in a mirror for the poor
There are still honest guardians at the top
Transparent lines against the marble floor
Creditors trace shadows through the light

But shadows don't hold weight in the night
Liability is just a phantom limb
A ghost
The lawyers teach the rich to trim
Exposure is attacks on being found
We bury what we build beneath the ground

Our skation is the art of the elite
Paper armor in a suit and a retreat
Control the flow, but let the fountain dry
Owning nothing while you hold the sky

The veil is thin, but the vision is blind
The cleverest game is the one on her
The cleverest game is the one on her
The one on her

Step one, summon a shell from the deep
Give the ei a secret it can keep
Not an engine of the trade, just a cage for the gold
A holding for the stories that remain untold

Solar manager of nothing, but the keys are in my palm
Limited embrace of a corporate kind of car
List myself as king of a land I don't claim
The bank knows the entity
They don't need my name

Opusation is the art of the elite
Paper armor in a suit and a retreat
Control the flow, but let the fountain dry
Owning nothing while you hold the sky

The veil is spin, but the vision is blurred
The cleverest game is the one unheard
The cleverest game is the one unheard
The one I know what they can't find is legally blind

I'm a ghost in a machine
I'm the logic in the wire
I'm the architect of every fire I require

Owning nothing but I own the flow of the flow in the shadow of the entity
Let the money go
Let the money go

Control is a ghost
Paperwork is a lie
Walk through the wall
Don't even say goodbye
Heat
