There's no place that I won't take it/ no person I won't take it to/ so fake it til you break it and we'll see if you can make it through/ I stay this smooth/ cause I can prove/ that every word I say is true/ but only time will tell if we can say the same for you/ so make the same excuse/ while I take the layman's use/ and flip it into a new rendition of what you came to do/ I aim to shoot straight and say what I mean/ I'm only scared of heights, failure, losing loved ones and IV's/ it's fortunately not something I see/ I surround myself with help, support, love, luggage, substance and peace/ and I stay stuck like you wouldn't believe/ cut into pieces to release it while I suffer relief/ run in the streets/ playing with fire in traffic/ while the addicts sit and ponder/ if they never would have wondered from the proper path/ cause one persons gateway is another persons launching pad/ and for every cold turkey someone never made it off of that/
chorus
I thought I knew but I was so sadly mistaken/
Waking up to find your time has been escapin'/
Cut out the hard shit/ avoid most of the hardships/ inundated slave to trading wages in for garbage/ witness to the carnage/ while living on a pardon/ rippin up your arms and sniffin up all that emotional scarring/ forgive the harshness but it's the only way to get through/ and I was thinking something else when you said they'll never forget you/ trading checkers in for chess moves/ while living in a test tube/ and you left your right to life while searching for a god to bless you/ and my success proves nothing at all/ except the harder they run then the harder they fall/ back and forth pick your spots/ a little lopped off the top/ a lobotomy done properly will make all your problems stop/ it's a shot in the dark/ winning the war of art and you'll never make it too far unless your life gets torn apart/ my days start the same way that I end em/ and if it wasn't for this heart/ I don't think I'd find a way to defend em/
Big fan of artists challenging religion. "Just another internet tough guy, hiding behind the keyboard watching the dust fly off of the Bible he hasn't read in ages. Taking shots at Muslims, Atheists & Pagans." as one of many succinct lyrical examples of creative prowess. icarusignite
It's freaking phenomenal, that's why. I listen to Omniverse every single day several times but that's no0t to say there aren't some fantastic rivals to that song such as Broken Symmetry, Defiant, Spectacle,5th, .8, Frame of Reference, Beachfront & Interdimensional Council of Greys icarusignite
I've got Metaphor Swordman on lock but there are some rad tracks here such as Flower Girl, Prison Planet, Dopamine Notes, .7, Snowflakes & Flowsnakes. Lyrically eschelons above the rest. icarusignite
