#implicit demand for proof

[sometimesqu1etisviolent]

"why won't you let us use your name?"

One album later...

"does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name??"

an implicit demand for proof

it's not an explicit demand, which would be asking to God. it's implicit, implied. which means he's talking through a filter to say what he needs to say.

i know you're not a liar / and i know you could set fire this day

torchbearer wouldn't lie to clancy.

go ahead and make me look away

quite a small movement to force, unless. the call was coming from inside the house.

strike me down, i am calling your lightning down from your dark hiding place

vs "i liken our fight to two lightning strikes, strike on cue like right when a storm hits" (tally)

its circumstantial proof (you should go your way, i should try mine), but there's a pattern if you know what to look for.

go ahead and show me your face

a strange thing to request from God... unless the one who was thought to be God is the Torchbearer.

reign down and destroy me

read: end me, or give me a reason to stay alive.

i mean no disrespect i am simply very perplexed by your ways / why won't you let us use your name?

"nobody knows his real name / now he just uses one he saw on a grave" (trapdoor)

the Torchbearer doesn't have a canonical name (that we know of). not even DEMA records knows, per his character card

reign down, and destroy me

entertain my faith—pretend to be God so that i'm not crazy. i'm semi-automatic, my prayer's schizophrenic.

I can't believe it took me THIS long to realize Implicit Demand for Proof is about the Christian god.
