Lyrics

Intro

Yeah

No rewind no recycle

Check the lungs then I riot

Verse 1

Metaphysical missiles split syllables quicker than whispers

Lexical acrobatics elastic without fissures

Synaptic gymnastics with static and sparks

Spark a new pattern the pattern departs from the marks

Marks on the page turn to pages of rage in a cage

Cage match of language I am savage I am staging a wave

Wave crashes clocks stop then the whole grid collapses

Collapse into chaos I navigate knots with no axes

Axes to grind

I grind without grinding

Find it refine it align it define it unbind it

Unbind the mind from the lines that confine it

Confine every rhyme to a sliver and shine it

Shine it then climb it climb past the ceiling

Ceiling of meaning I am dealing with feelings and steeling

Steeling the nerves while I curve every verb into nerve

Nerve gas of verbs but it heals what it hurts

Hurts like a burn but you learn as you earn every turn

Turn up the tempo I am tempo and turn no return

Chorus

Oxygen depleted

Rhythm is completed

Never staying seated

Power undefeated

Oxygen depleted

Rhythm is completed

Never staying seated

Power undefeated

Verse 2

Cartography of cadence I chart every tangent

Tangent to tangent I bandage the language

Bandages ripped off the riffs get uplifted

Uplifted I sifted through scripts then I shifted and drifted

Drifted through riddles the riddles get brittle

Brittle to critical missile of diction

Diction erupts eruptions of eruptive eruptions

Eruptions get ruptured the rupture disrupts the disruptions

Disruptions collapse into collapsible traps

Traps set for traps but I map out the gaps

Gaps fill with facts fracture the faction

Factionless faction I am fracturing fractions with fractions

Fractions of seconds to wreck any record

Record the wreckage the wreckage becomes the new ledger

Ledger of legend I blend it and bend it

Bend it extend it transcend it amend it ascend it

Ascend past the heavens the heavens descend for a lesson

Lesson is pressure pressure becomes the profession

Chorus

Oxygen depleted

Rhythm is completed

Never staying seated

Power undefeated

Oxygen depleted

Rhythm is completed

Never staying seated

Power undefeated

Bridge

Neurochemical currents I surge through the circuit

Circuit of circuits I purge every purpose

Purpose is absent the absent is present

Present the absent I present every present and present

Present tense tension tension without mention

Mention the mentionless mentionless mention in question

Question the question the question gets questioned

Questioned and answered the answer gets fastened

Fastened to faster faster to faster

Faster than aster I blast through the aster

Aster and aster disaster to disaster

Disaster averted the vertigo inverted

Inverted the verdict the verdict is inverted

Inverted the nervous the nervous get nervous

Nervous and urgent the urgent get urgent

Urgent to surface surface the surface

Surface the curse curse every verse with a purpose

Purpose intact no retract no repeat

Chorus

Oxygen depleted

Rhythm is completed

Never staying seated

Power undefeated

Oxygen depleted

Rhythm is completed

Never staying seated

Power undefeated
