Subside (Remastered)

[Intro] I’m watchin’ these pawns on the board, jaw sore from bitin’ my tongue Ink drips from my veins to the page, words weigh a ton [Verse 1] I pen lines that imprison minds, my bars lock you inside these rhymes So when I’m “sentence-structured,” it’s hard time—I’m breakin’ spines Of notebooks and necks, dissectin’ dialect with surgical knives Emerge from this furnace of verses to burn ya alive I’m wired tighter than tripwires in the trenches of your psyche My psyche’s a cycle of cycles that snipe with a psyche that’s spiky I’m iced out, but not with diamonds—frozen flows that crystallize souls These syllables drill a hole so deep, they swallow your goals I’m at the pinnacle, paintin’ visuals vivid as vintage vinyl Spinnin’ twisted scriptures, scriptures are pictures the pen made final I’m vital as a virus viral in vinyl veins, no vaccine Refine the final line until it shines in a cracked screen These triple entendres torque tongues ’til they twist in time My mind mines mines—explosive thoughts blow up your design I’m the hero in (heroin) lines, dopin’ your mind with the dope design You can’t cope, I rope your hope and choke it out in the shrine [Chorus] I’m breakin’ mirrors while I’m facin’ fears—reflectin’ flaws I hide Split personalities in paragraphs collide inside my stride In the shards, I’m sharp, spittin’ arcs of art that never subside I’m livin’ infinite lives in lines, each bar forced open wide [Verse 2] I’m from a world where the pen’s a sword, words wage war within Your nerves fray as I fervently serve the sin beneath your skin This grin grimaces, grim truth given in grim increments I’m infinite, intimate with instruments, infiltratin’ ignorance My letters stutter, but they’re still butter—smooth and lethal Each vowel howls, prowl through cerebral cathedrals of evil I’m writin’ scriptures that’ll eclipse your eclipse, blot out your sun I’m underground like a root system, nutrients never undone The pages I wage enraged are stages I’ve phased through I’m changin’ the shape of syllables, so they blaze through Razor-sharp insight slices right through your headspace I’m a heavyweight, headin’ straight to devastate with dead grace Try to decode these nodes, I load them with layered meaning My pen’s a demon schemin’, seamin’ seams of dreams while screamin’ I’m feedin’ legions of reason, seizin’ seasons of treason Freezin’ your thesis, then release it with grievous lesions [Chorus] (Repeat) I’m breakin’ mirrors while I’m facin’ fears—reflectin’ flaws I hide Split personalities in paragraphs collide inside my stride In the shards, I’m sharp, spittin’ arcs of art that never subside I’m livin’ infinite lives in lines, each bar forced open wide [Outro] Let ’em try to pry into my psyche—my sign is read: “Beware” Inside these lines I climb, redefine what you call “fair.”
