lyrics

(Intro)

nowhere to run to. I know there's a couple holes in the cement
prone to believing I may never see the goal that I'm reaching towards
the doors are blockaded as I push against them with force
gritting my teeth at the source of my anger.
emphasis on the fact that I'm in a box below the dirt, breathing short and frantically
looking treachorous, gory. you wouldn't guess it was for me..
to be left for the earthworms, crawling
sort of panicking because the germs yearn to rotten the flesh
biting the end of a slug and this nitrogen pressure built inside of my chest'll combust
pressing my luck like a four-leafed clover closed between the pages of a book
patience faded, and it took longer than I prayed it fucking would
waiting to get a taste of the world I never knew of
threw a ruby into a slew of putrid shit. what's it to ya?
you want to see a ticking time-bomb hit its limit? screw it.

I got a habit, of peddling backwards
and if I could catch it and trap it, I could prevent it from happening once again
sand slipping through the center of an hourglass
(Maybe I'm just...) That's impossible
metal bars play a part in breaking out
you're way too strong to stay in doubt
don't make it sound. wait it out...
(Maybe I'm just...)

taking it but not wasting it; gracious like a wave of wind on your skin
placing it in the hands of something greater than the face you get
everytime you face me as if it's nothing but a game
my wits are Keen and (Keenan), Kel could vouch for All That waits to get its day to rip
out the shell-casing; body armor replacement is needed
I'm designated to detonate.
hated for being not feasible. non-treatable
infected once affected. better start a quarantine; this fool's creeping through
toxic gas got 'em falling back
tryna' block the barracks from the plague before the walls collapse
make 'em spin in circles like clothes at a laundromat
told 'em I was coming; now, I've got 'em how I plotted, jack
feeling like anonymous...
how can you lock an idea behind a block of bricks
when you can't even see its body? just a cloud of mist floating and a sea of people dropping

(Hook)
