lyrics
Feel like Aegeus, gonna throw the towel in
Foul stench, had to shower off, power spent
Aegis rim, 13 sentinels on the sixty inch
Regis Philbin, got the Guinness for hours spent
On the television, dwelling in different timelines
Voices in my head ain't me, yet a fine line
Like love and hate, hard to make a distinction
But I stay concentrated, like a tincture
Strange dreams, seem like memories, who's sharing 'em?
Maybe its just me and I'm stuck here bearing 'em
Air it out, keep my mind open, that's paramount
Fair amount of people who hated just staring now
Once I get calibrated, connected to something greater
No messiah, more mecha, sentinel cells
First line of defense, enemies make craters
Tryna takeover, but I give 'em hell and rebel
Hook x2:
Tried taking the terminal, get terminated
Mind floating in a cage, shocks germinating
Through the nervous system, action potentials
Wish I was immune to the burns in my mental
Verse 2:
Brain turned to mush by invaders of cognizance
Fighting for prominence of my own body and it
Feels like a shell, I peek out like nautilus
Hypnotic pendulums tricked me into offering
More than bargained for in a devilish pact
Made before Santa ever got to write naughty lists
When the anagram said pentagrams would distract
From the words between the ink, unseen, like a hijabi is
In fact, ill-informed decisions informal
Sorted verbally than shook palms, no coconuts
On the isle I'll be stuck, abnormal
Smoking bud and ride it out like Chocobos, I'm choking up
Made direct contact with Rashaverak
Unappealing wielder of a knowledge unknown
Said the ascensions unexpected like a bear trap
Overmind's judging which ones next for the throne
