pancake
I'm not sure who's fooling who here
as I'm watching your decay
We both know you could deflate
a 7 Hurricane
What this Messiah-figure is doing is damaging lives of naive people.
Seems like you and your tribe
decided you'd rewrite the law
Segregate the mind
From Body From Soul
The Messiah-figure is taking important things to human beings because they are so willing to believe his stories. These ideas of his has become so strong that it effects the law.
You give me yours
I'll give you mine
cause I can look your God
right in the eye
Scarlet can tear apart and give his religion and tell him what's really there.
You give me yours
I'll give you mine
You used to look my God
right in the eye
Scarlet's God has been torn apart by this Messiah-figure many times before.
I believe in defending
in what we once
stood for
Scarlet wants to keep her faith going on.
It seems in vogue
toe be a closet
misogynist homophobe
Scarlet is seeing the many holes or flaws in his teaching.
a change of course in
Our direction
a dash of truth
spread thinly
Like a flag
On a popstar
On a Benzodiazapene
You give me yours
I'll give you mine
cause I can look
your God
right in the eye
You give me yours
I'll give you mine
You used to look my God
right in the eye
Oh Zion please
remove your glove
+ dispel every
trace
Of His spoken word
That has lodged
In my vortex
Scarlet is trying to undo the harm that was done to these people who believe this man who is controlling them.
I'm not sure who's fooling who here
as I'm watching your decay
We both know you could deflate
a 7 Hurricane
You could have spared her
oh but no
Messiahs need
people dying in their
Name
Messiah-figured people want power that they will take away life...not as in death, but as in experience.
You say "I ordered you a
pancake"
You say "I ordered you a
pancake"
They control everything from your way of thinking, to what you eat in the morning.
Here's Tori's description of it:
PANCAKE finds Scarlet heading into Delaware and towards the north-eastern seats of learning and power. There she meets a Messiah figure, but swiftly becomes disillusioned. If her Latino revolutionary was all action, this Messiah is all talk. "He doesn't uphold the values which he preaches. He's deaf to the real needs of the people and is becoming drunk on the kind of power which he once denounced."
-- Scarlet's Walk bio
"She [Scarlet] picks herself up from division. And she moves on into Delaware and then on up through New Jersey and she's following a different sort of questioning now with Pancake and it's about power. She's on the east coast. She's going through arguments in her head. She's weighing as much as she can and she's taking in information. She's going and listening to people speak. She's very much where the learning centers quote-unquote are. And she's, um, drawn to hearing how people see the world. There's someone in this who has alot of power. And she's drawn to this person who speaks. And who's able to rally people. But he doesn't seem to really walk it. And there're other people then that she begins to look at more closely. Whether they're leaders, or whether they're, hmm, people she knows. People who say one thing, and yet it just doesn't feel right and there's so much at stake. She believes at a certain point America's soul is at stake. The moral compass has been manipulated. And that's what she's discovering."
