lyrics

most would rather deny truth than like me
pen on point and i swing my sword mightily
might break givin’ sight to unsightly
night break a new dawn i shine brightly
strike thee down as God curse my verses
one life lived boundless like universes
life revived and seen through two eyes
night consumes one try or one lie i
recognize lethal truth to the people
breakthrough all this fear they deal to steal you
like thieves what’s beef like we all cattle and
smooth summer silk swift shadows tattle
battle with fiction metaphors and diction
add to diction add my addiction
most would rather deny truth than like me
swing my sword like a knight or i might be
stay sharp samurai slice precisely
sharp sword and pen i wield tightly
strike thee down as the gap expands and
two shadows two lands two oceans two sands
i ran i run son keep on runnin’
belly of the beast with two backs sonnin’ ‘em
one chosen all are one chosen
frozen all the lands sands and oceans
so walk across i walk across
like Jesus Christ on the cross forgivin’ ‘em like
who’s fillin’ ‘em with metaphors and diction
add to diction add my addiction
most would rather deny truth than like me
swing my pen anointed when they fight me
stay sharp and stay scribin’ rightly
diagram a plan and waiver only slightly
strike thee down i feel it in my gut
first board-up the windows keep the doors shut
then keep on and keep keepin’ on and
break down walls collective ‘til dawn’s then
shadows foresaw this our whole bein’
night to the ignited light the fight freein’
so full of fears we’re full of fears
but hopeful for full of years thrillin’ ‘em like
who’s killin’ ‘em with metaphors and diction
add to diction add my addiction
most would rather deny truth than like me
pen in sheath and with sword i write nightly
sword on desk and pen i swing nicely
never break or the rhyme scheme will spite me
strike thee down and rise a dark phoenix
flow’s no machine it’s rhyme scheme’s the leanest
i fiend it’s meanest upwards a spiral
now in control and all signs are vital
vital recall all these shadows mentioned
pay with attention rise insurrection
recognize lethal truth to the people
resurrection the sequel i bleed through
bleed fiction metaphors and diction
add to diction add my addiction
awareness and action substance and style
wide awake static and spiral viral
out of control and in control here we go
out of control and in control here we go
head on never hard headed embrace it
most would rather deny truth than face it
most would rather deny truth than face it
most would rather deny truth than face it
