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

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 trying to replace yourself

Carving out a fact from a
Reckoning, beckoning you back
Skin sagging off it's 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 oughtta 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 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 oH, 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 you’ll never take me alive
(This is not enough! 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)
You’ll never take me alive
Baby you’ll never take me alive
(This is not enough! 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!
