Mr. Capgras Encounters a Secondhand Vanity: Tulpamancer's Prosopagnosia/Pareidolia (As Direct Result of Trauma to the Fusiform Gyrus) Songtext
von Will Wood and the Tapeworms

You′re trying to replace yourself
You're trying to replace yourself, you′re trying to replace yourself
You're trying to replace yourself, you're trying to replace yourself
You′re trying to replace yourself, you′re trying to replace yourself
You're trying to replace yourself, you′re

Carving out a fact from a reckoning
Beckoning you back, skin sagging off its skeleton
Levitating off the ground is another man wearing your face

All the other false identities
Remedies or enemies to mitigate your memories
Shuddered at what they found when they stripped away the grace

Eulogy or biography, I'm who I oughta be, and that is God to me
Never, never, never
So, my God, what′s wrong with me? If who I wanna be might be

Never, never, never
Never, never, never
Never, never, never
No, never


You'll never take me alive, baby, you′ll never take me alive
You'll never take me
You'll never take me, you better pray that I die
You′ll never take me alive, baby, you′ll never take me alive

You'll never take me
You′ll never take me, and no you're never gon′ find
Somebody to replace yourself, somebody to replace yourself
Somebody to replace yourself, somebody to replace yourself

Damn, I thought you're not your imposter
You′re so sure you're not gonna get caught
Dead in your own skin, but you didn't choose what you were born in

And add another man in your repertoire
Ready in your head and fed upon your memoirs
Still the same rules apply from the birthday to the mourning

What you feel and what you do
Are those things really you? And if not, then what is?
Never, never, never
So, my God, what′s wrong with you? And I′m still asking who that is?

Never, never, never
Never, never, never
Never, never, never
No, never


You'll never take me alive, baby, you′ll never take me alive
You'll never take me
You′ll never take me, you better pray that I die
You'll never take me alive, baby, you′ll never take me alive

You'll never take me
You'll never take me, and no you′re never gon′ find
Somebody to replace yourself, somebody to replace yourself
Somebody to replace yourself, somebody to replace yourself

You'll never take me alive, baby (this is not enough)
You′ll never take me alive (this is not enough to prove it yet)
You'll never take me
You better pray that I die (no, I need to hit the bottom)

You′ll never take me alive, baby (this is not enough)
You'll never take me alive (this is not enough to prove it yet)
You′ll never take me
You'll never take me, you better pray that I die (no, I need to hit the bottom!)

Somebody to replace yourself, somebody to replace yourself
Somebody to replace yourself, somebody to replace yourself
Somebody to replace yourself, somebody to replace yourself
Somebody to replace yourself, somebody to replace yourself
Hey
