Look Don't think Just... go The asphalt is a ribbon of obsidian and gray I'm dropping every burden from a different day The scenery's a liquid, just a shimmer in the lens This is where the limit of the imitation ends I'm losing every layer, I'm losing every name I'm playing for the movement, I'm not playing for the fame A sudden pull of tension, a tightening of the grip I'm watching all the old versions of me start to slip It's the tilt, it's the slide Nowhere for the heavy things to hide The atmosphere is thinning as I'm cutting through the surge I'm leaving every echo on the very outer verge I'm a gilded blur The only resonance that I prefer I'm outrunning the phantom, I'm outrunning the dark I'm hitting every beat, I'm hitting every mark I'm higher than Mariah, deeper than the best I'm laying every diva here to rest (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Yeah, I'm the gilded blur The skyline is a drift in an abstract of white I'm building the momentum through the middle of the night No more asking for a reason, no more looking for a cue I'm finding a dimension that is absolutely new A focus in the silence, a bias in the sheen The most expensive glimmer you've ever seen I'm a ripple in the mirror, a pulse in the pristine The only motion left in the machine It's the tilt, it's the slide Nowhere for the heavy things to hide The atmosphere is thinning as I'm cutting through the surge I'm leaving every echo on the very outer verge I'm a gilded blur The only resonance that I prefer I'm outrunning the phantom, I'm outrunning the dark I'm hitting every beat, I'm hitting every mark I'm higher than Mariah, deeper than the best I'm laying every diva here to rest (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Yeah, I'm the gilded blur I am not an angel I am not the past I am not a vision I am the I'M THE STREEEEAM The gilded blur Watch it fade This is how a masterpiece is made Gone Gone
