Yanalie - Altar of Static Lyrics

[Intro]
Studio lights flickering like church candles
Mixing board's my altar tonight
Your voice still echoes in these walls
But the truth hits different when you're high

[Verse 1]
First day in your basement, I was just a lost kid
You passed me that blue pill, said "This how you make hits"
Showed me how to sample, chop up melodies
While my mind was racing, you were selling my beats, goddamn

[Chorus]
Father Marcus, what you teach me?
Got me praying to these frequencies
Turned your studio to my cathedral
But you're just a false prophet dealing
With these demons, with these demons

[Verse 2]
Four AM, paranoid, watching shadows dance
While you count up profit from my second chance
Remember when you said "Trust the process, kid"
But you were processing me through your pyramid scheme, shit

[Bridge]
Delete the files, burn the hard drive
Can't trust these saints when they wearing disguise
You taught me well, maybe too damn well
Now I'm seeing through your holy hell

[Verse 3]
Popping pills like communion wafers
Playing God behind these faders
You built me up just to watch me fall
Now I'm spitting verses through these f*cking walls
Every track I make's got your fingerprints
But I'm scrubbing clean all these accidents
Yeah, you showed me how to bend these sounds
Now I'm bending truth, burning temples down

[Chorus]
Father Marcus, what you teach me?
Got me praying to these frequencies
Turned your studio to my cathedral
But you're just a false prophet dealing
With these demons, with these demons

[Outro]
Studio lights dying like church candles
The service is over, I'm done with your gospel
Time to start my own religion
Where the only thing sacred is the truth I'm spitting
