7 Savants

Remember...

I met with seven savants and they told me that I'd won
Memorized their challenges and people they'd become
And then I was a savant and I sounded just like them
But they said to remember where you started when you end

Been tracking down a girl that I met when I was fifteen
She moved to California and her friends are like a dream
I had a dream she moved into my town, I was impressing
But I had memorized her and she saw through the obsession

Ashley told me if I looked like you it'd be easy
Sadly, I'll be keeping my eyes on who's better than me
Who is better than me

I'm handing her the payments, shameful, underneath the table
She's shining in the diner light and smiling when she's able
Finally what I'm waiting for, a laminated bible
I wanted to be God but I became the best disciple

Don't just leave me waiting on another mirror here
Never learned to stand alone, I think I'd disappear
An emptiness that only better likenesses can feed
I'm an apparition, it's your outline that I need

Ashley told me if I looked like you it'd be easy
Sadly, I'll be keeping my eyes on who's better than me
Take the offering, I promise I don't do this often
My face softens, I melt into a better option

Remember where you started
Remember where you started
Remember
