[INTRO] Low light, loam bite, bass in the bone Knight in rush like he’s claiming a throne Pan Fiddler slow, with a smoke and a sip Coffee in the bloodstream, calm on the trip [VERSE 1] Down in the under, the thunder is thick Knight kicks the door with a jubilant gimmick Pan takes a breath, lets the moment expand Wanders the warrens, a cup in his hand Glowsticks glint in a chemical choir Eyes gone glass in a flicker of fire Open display, no veil, no divide No hush, no hedge, just a neon tide Smiles are sweet till the sweetness is spent Kind till the comedown cracks the cement Boom Boom Boom in the rib and the room Dumb when the euphoria can't overwhelm the doom [CHORUS] Keep it level, keep the vessel clean Key to cosmic kingdom is in-between Ride raucous rhythm, don’t rot in the rave Joy ain’t a loan you repay to the grave [VERSE 2] Pan spots the knight in a clustered clique Laughing too loud with a tremor too quick Powdered bravado and needles in play Friends nod fervent in feverish sway Pan reaches out, just a tether, a plea Flash of a sting, sharp shock in the sea Skin pricked sudden, the signal is clear Fuck this noise, I’m not dying in here Steps turn swift, he splits from the scene Cold night air cuts the chemical sheen Heart beats honest, the path reappears Measure the method, invest in the years [BREAKDOWN] Decades dealt, deliberate design Body as temple, mettle tempered spine Water and work wear will that won’t bend Cycles of care can compound to an end Knight chose chaos, a carnival creed Burned through sacred marrow to feed a need Short term shine with a long shadow cost Tally the toll and account what was lost Boom Boom Boom but the echo gets thin Dumber over time as metabolic debt settles in [VERSE 3] Back when they brawled in their blistering youth Knight had a furnace, a fearless uncouth Vigor like voltage, a volatile spark Now just a flicker that fades in the dark No war to weather, no banner to bear So he turned the blade inward, cut air into air Worship of violence, a venomous art Eats its own altar, devours lost heart Pan crossed paths not a long time ago Knight was a husk with a hollowed-out glow Decrepit early, a withering will Time didn’t take him, his habits did kill [OUTRO] Pan ponders quiet in a dawn-tinted bar Horseman of War, where the thresholds are When there’s no battle, the blade finds the self Rage turns raven and feeds on the shelf Keep the Key close, keep the cadence true What you consume will one day soon be consuming you!
