[Intro]
Shadows creep, heart's a loaded clip,
Click-clack, mind's on eclipse.
[Verse 1]
Razor thoughts slice the midnight haze,
Demons dance in the dopamine blaze,
Chasin' ghosts through alleyway mazes,
Pockets empty but soul's in a craze.
Fists clenched, veins pumpin' that fire,
Liar's tongue twist, empire's empire,
Higher than kites in a storm's wild choir,
Tired of the wire, cut loose, no retire.
Echoes bounce off these cracked mirror walls,
Brawls with the beast till the curtain falls,
Calls from the void, I answer with brawls,
Raw as the scar where the calm dissolves.
[Chorus]
Lost in the rush, crush of the night,
Fight or fold, hold the light tight,
Bite back the dark, spark in the fight,
Heart's a grenade, pull pin, ignite.
(Yeah, ignite—ignite—)
[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker like faulty fate,
Plate of regrets, I devour the hate,
Gatecrash the dream, supreme escape,
Tape over wounds, but the seep won't abate.
Debate with the reaper over cheap tea,
He cheats, I leap free, knees deep in debris,
Believe in the bleed, feed the frenzy,
Trendy pretenders get sent to the sea.
Kneel to no crown, drown the sound of doubt,
Scout the blackout, route the rout,
Shout till the clout crumbles to grout,
Outlast the blast, fast as a trout.
[Interlude]
*(breath heavy, mic feedback whine)*
What you chasin'? The ache in the bone?
Or the throne built from ash and alone?
Tick-tock, clock mocks the throne...
[Verse 3]
Frenzy unfolds in the folds of my folds,
Holds on the cold, gold's just fool's coal,
Soul patrol rolls through the toll of the bold,
Told ya the mold's cracked, act like it's old.
Bold strokes paint the pain in neon streaks,
Leeks in the speak, weak links creak and squeak,
Peak at the freak show, low blow to the cheek,
Seek the unique, tweak the technique.
Creep through the deep, sleep's a thief in the keep,
Heap of the cheap, reap what you sweep,
Leap over the heap, elite in the breach,
Speech like a screech, reach for the breach.
[Chorus]
Fight or fold, hold the light tight,
Bite back the dark, spark in the fight,
Heart's a grenade, pull pin, ignite.
(Ignite—ignite—ignite—)
[Verse 4]
Whispers whip winds through the rift in my ribs,
Stiffs in the cribs, fibs on the fibs,
Dibs on the dibs, crib the abyss,
Kiss of the hiss, dismiss the bliss.
Twist fate's wrist till it spits the script,
Grip slip, trip on the crypt's lip,
Rip the eclipse, equip the quip,
Shipwrecked quick, thick with the drip.
Drip from the tip of the thorn-crowned quill,
Chill kills the thrill, fill the nil,
Will's a drill, spill the swill,
Hill of the ill, thrill of the kill.
[Bridge]
And in the quiet, the riot ignites,
Nights bleed into fights, sights set on heights.
Heights mock the plights, lights dim on the rights...
But I rise, eyes wide, no disguise.
[Verse 5]
Plunge through the lunge, sponge up the sludge,
Fudge the grudge, judge the nudge,
Trudge through the sludge, budge not a smudge,
Lunge at the grudge, plunge in the deluge.
Deluge of dudes in pursuit of the crude,
Rude interlude, feud with the feud,
Nude truth crude, brew the voodoo,
Screw the taboo, through to the blue.
Blue hue crew, skew the revue,
View from the pew, new chew on the rue,
Rue the day they unscrewed the glue,
True to the brew, me and my zoo.
Zoo of the who, spew the taboo,
Through the bamboozle, dazzle the crew—
End it? Nah, loop the pursue.
[Outro]
Ignite... ignite... lost in the crush.
