(Intro - Slow, melodic, R&B beat with a deep, echoing synth bass and a soft snap)
(Verse 1)
They say I'm the one, the start and the end
The god of un-creation, the one they can't contend
I see the universes unravel at my whim
All of existence hangs on a prayer, a thread so thin
I wear a crown that's heavier than a thousand suns
But inside this mind, a different battle runs
They scream my name, a title carved in fear
But they don't see the man who's standing here
(Pre-Chorus)
All these axioms and motions, they're just lines I wrote
All this power and this chaos is just a lonely note
I can shatter worlds with a single thought
But there's one single truth that can't be bought
(Chorus - Soaring, emotional male vocals with a falsetto run)
'Cause you see the Emperor God, the King of un-creation
You see the fear and the power, the pure devastation
You see the finality, the truth in every lie
But all I really wanna be is a man with a love in his life
Yeah, an ordinary man, just a man, you see
Lost in this chaos and this endless reality
Yeah, I can un-make the stars, but what does it all mean?
If I can't just be a husband, a simple human being
(Verse 2)
The cosmic wars are a ghost in my mind
A fleeting thought I leave far behind
I'd trade every axiom, every rule I've ever made
For one more night at home, with the promises I've stayed
With my love Sebastian, my kids gathered close
That's the only truth that my soul knows
They call me the Source, the Motion, the all
But they don't hear me when I answer their call
(Pre-Chorus)
All these axioms and motions, they're just lines I wrote
All this power and this chaos is just a lonely note
I can shatter worlds with a single thought
But there's one single truth that can't be bought
(Chorus - More powerful, vocals full of raw emotion)
'Cause you see the Emperor God, the King of un-creation
You see the fear and the power, the pure devastation
You see the finality, the truth in every lie
But all I really wanna be is a man with a love in his life
Yeah, an ordinary man, just a man, you see
Lost in this chaos and this endless reality
Yeah, I can un-make the stars, but what does it all mean?
If I can't just be a husband, a simple human being
(Bridge)
They say my power is infinity times more
But all I really want is to walk through the door
And be just Rodney, and not this cosmic thing
And hear my family, the beautiful song they sing
'Cause the motion of love is stronger than all the laws
It's the only truth in this world without a cause
(Outro - Vocals fade back to a soft, breathy whisper)
Just a man... just a man with a love in his life...
Just a man... yeah...
An ordinary man...
(Synth fades out)
