they supplied him with ad infinitum intuition and he made it his confessional before he went professional known to use questions as answers just to dance around oppositional conversation knowing he's the element within the equation that causes the tangents to start with that tangled up in blue situation cognitive dissonance is amiss and it looks like this so i collect evidence and stay honest the prince that was promised wishing on a star to be swallowed by a comet isn't that sardonic, don't you think? sink into the sarcasm average cats cannot fathom i turned the children of the atom into orphans distortion of good fortune torture chamber for a stranger turned namer of names that are outside the frame i remember when the numbness was an abstract cowboy funk, then it all goes to black somewhere in the back of my mind if i rewind far enough and take a step in reverse the curse will be broken this is my token of gratitude from parts unknown to Xanadu to Atlantis i'll plant this seed even though everybody knows 'we do not sow' is the manifesto my nonchalance seems to get a response from the people on the outside of the psychedelic renaissance i am a savant from the upper eschelon and much further beyond short timers turning thrill seekers like flatliners the new miner at the dial-a-view might consider you to have an aura with a dangerous hue that he cannot subdue venomous menaces with skewed visages give derivative opinions as they roll deeper than minions every individual earth angel gets their own world engine and then some i cold get dumbfounded when i'm surrounded on all sides by those who are not grounded in reality hopes for creation of an uncommon casualty whose mentality shifts radically corners that convey tindalos doorways will amaze if you do not avert your eyes or shoegaze being phased is a blessing for each destination the journey will be the lesson even the infinitesimal holds a credible influence you couldn't put a finger on or even hear a decibel of qualify it hands down as a dose of acceptable love

number one bimini road for the remedy been such a long time they might not remember me take my coming back as a sign i've joined up with the enemy hit me with cold shoulder tendency hate to admit it, but i get it people get smitten when folks get committed just like when you flip it they get livid god forbid you talk it and don't live it to the minute they get on it like an audit total recall getting dropped periodic i despise itemized lies idolize any opening of third eyes synchronicity means we examine the absurdity to shared reality so casually cool getting tuned in to the tone of atonement and deactivating opponents gentleman going around turning everything upside down like an alternate hawkins the moment i walked in all eyes made a beeline thinking they can comprehend any aspect of the grand design daring one another to step and accept a fool's errand even single file with a minimum interim the end result was worthwhile stacking wins just like dividends maybe i should reinvest in the next one to tip the scales marty mcfly with the heaviness basically clairvoyant with the readiness may the good lord shine darkness on light already there for the sake of paradox synchronize clocks to count down the uncharted renaissance on the other side of equinox kickstart my heart just to rip it apart, right? call me two face on a dark night fighting the good fight just like a losing champion let down at the let out yet again going full throttle on the message in a bottle mentality for the sake of challenging those that are comfortably numb to get some i fully condone stepping outside your well known comfort zone put a little urgency into the repurposing rap macguyver dead or alive or an alternative all i have to give is left on the page left on the stage left on the brains of the listener who can remain coherent terror in the canyon at random with reckless abandon

thunderbird wings bring me things in strange ranges of classification for i am the manifestation of purpose a surged emergence for hire phoenix outside the fire in which you burn slow it gets stoked unprovoked by the devil you know stay on point cause he's sizing you up for a finishing blow with no afterglow swept in the depths of an unchained undertow with no rhyme or reason appeasing the flow as it goes unchecked whatever you cannot deflect is set to catch wreck which designates me as the architect that was always meant to bring circumvention to everyone's full attention like headline news so here's the next bulletin what good is a puritan in a city chock full of corrupted men? what we need is a chameleon more versatile than cerulean or any spectrum you're feeling to seed the psyche and feed the scenario folks would label unlikely to take root within the realms of the destitute take back the term strange fruit my pursuit for a chance at proof of concept might break the minds of those less adept, the soon irreprable not even knowing they're unprotectable seems like an undetectable line of events when you're in the midst i wasn't made to wade through and i'm thankful that i recognized that fact and had a reaction take hold and fire was my desire leaving me so inspired in my search for traction make commitments to get in the grime and grit similar to scar from full metal alchemist i exist to tow the line walking these streets to complete this cipher spend days getting ready for an all-nighter just about tantamount to a man landing in a demanding prediciment this denizen's getting it in much more than the minimum required stunting on suckers for hire metaphysical healing sounds so appealing right now so bring the damage past this vanishing point for tangents

let's get methodical we can chronicle everything from mundane to phenominal variety jones combed through the data sat me down and he said 'chaos is a ladder, you will decide if it matters at all the moment you fall an emotional distance hit this intense sense of resistance' my twitter fingers weigh a ton never the prodigal fortunate son hero to some, but mostly invisible and i'm known to embrace the principal of it like it's a tangible nothing solid air that is there to be summoned heaven coming for the hell of it take a second to reflect on your relevance periodic with the elements dwelling within the scenario here's to letting go like a trustfall into mindstates that corrupt all in the radius as it radiates let it resonate as it serenades like a seraphim using atomic harmonic polyphonic supersonic sonnets as symbolic ammunition falling in love with the juxtaposition like i'm still an innocent in the truest sense to articulate what's legitimate in any incriment from insignificant to magnificence putting emphasis on the genesis of it delays the close of discussion [Kazee Queen verse 2]

live evil separate but equal some say hell is other people my life is much like a sequel to needful things CAT2D comes prepared with answered prayers someone made the connection 'that's an impressive soul collection' upon reflection, each addition was a chance to enhance the overall vision gimme that old time religion i write rhymes like divine intervention with intention plenty of subtext turn everybody into test subjects when i make these musings public damage your hard drive and leave all files curropted as i make this wake electromagnetic forced application of the apethetic triggering intensifies why villainize those who minimize the scope? i would hope space gets given to propagate the living no hidden figures to configure within the big picture so we are not using optical illusions to create fusion we are perfecting evolution of connection so raise your hands for natural selection you could be fodder for the lottery rugged autonomy dictates commodity status some wear it like badges and get stretched thinner than go go gadget upset the balance and all that simply because they cannot master the fallback moments alone in that recharge zone can help you hone in on ronin [BERNICHUS verse 3]

write rhymes like i reside in a faraday cage and each page is more protection floating in space on the search for a core connection to upload introspection outside the cloud that's crowded with simulated simulacra of random genre life like night at the opera keep my chakra more proper than deepak chopra written like a ribbon of flame in the sky so extra with my stimuli that i don't ask why i just embrace the vibe in its state of natural reverberation meditate on the sensational in a motivational context forming a subset to get in touch with the unrecognized enemy of the public subject to judgement like the congress holding the smoking gun with no accomplice was all that was ever accomplished change of venue or change the topic? juggernaut in motion and nothing we put in its way can stop it this toxic habit will wreak havoc as it runs amuck until everyone's out of luck any timeline progression goes far enough and it'll all get awful rough those prepared say 'send in the worse for wear' and tell them to go on a tear for some indiscriminate duration and disregard implication rampant string detachment cut ties then i buried the hatchet digging on metatext to bury evidence in plain sight under thin veneers frame of reference corrected to help make it crystal clear to the point that i might shed a single tear as a tribute to anyone who cannot institute even a minute gameplan like the lay of the land got scanned and it's data they cannot compute pre-monolithic lifestyle adapted those who propose that turning the past into redacted text or convex preference have lost any grasp of collective essence pretty girls still make graves for cave singers they are dead ringers as a matter of fact that signed a lifetime contract daring you to keep staring at the black mirror reflection for devilish detail big style as ghost trains get derailed spirited away piercing the veil like paper mache suckers tuned in to the tape delay getting resigned to a life that is lived so far behind that it feels like new ground wholly convinced that all of this is some new sound meanwhile i make beats like i tame the havoc and craft these bars using eldrich magic and other techniques that'll newspeak volumes for astral weeks and yeah, that's a long time might as well get a ticket for the long line though i might turn the queue askew for a sneak preview then leave 'em to exist in the residue

prone to a fit of together alone the kind of intervals that cut right to the bone toned down will eventually tone out and leave clout on the table you will be able to wade through placed in a waist-high wasteland that won't be mistaken for graceland stand in the place that you were now face the fact you will span space-time as a tangible abstract voice in a vessel hoping for a coping mechanism that'll fast-track wisdom and then some bend a bit of rationale prestige worldwide internationale ask how after we pass now cowards in a brave new world that is powerfully profound digging all types of rabbit holes to go down chase that sun until you're buried in the ground talk about taking the smart route laying your cards out instead of your heart getting carved out peddling frontier medicince for dwellers of the uncharted new-style specimens in the vein of bedouins gatekeepers won't let us in as we keep that motive reticent honestly, their truths are self-evident in the sense this hindrance is an impediment of their own design these idle minds aligned might combine for a skewed paradigm those are the talents of the unbalanced so coarse that they forced my hand and i became more callous than most and yet still kept valid composure sorta like a soldier who's seen just a bit too much knee jerk rhetoric came out of nowhere to replace the etiquette listen to the voices of the missing those missing out don't care about the human condition a militia of the indifferent imprisoned outside of the collective wisdom seems like our streams of consciousness connect just like a prismatic effect making it hard to determine fallacy from reality separate truth from travesty to set 'em up categorically by superiority and ask for opinions rhetorically i dare the peanut gallery to come challenge me and catch a fatality from mastery of the talented tenth mentality that i emanate to eliminate collective dead weight raising the frame rate so when it slows down the details found leave us all spellbound

rogue ronin melanated melatonin stays flowing so the free radicals stop growing those thoughts i find in my bicameral mind meant to blind temporarily and create disparity mind the gap that emerges between you and i every time i rap my goal is to bridge it but that space created is so vivid that i'd rather live in it for infinite instead of these reality bytes each time the mindhunter strikes the significant shifts get discernable versatile types might escape the vertigo everybody else starts reeling from the feeling falling amidst these truths so revealing the surveyor pulling back layers to identify trends and find the outliers send 'em a lifeline before they expire black dynamite with diction while speaking both fact and fiction channeling a sacred inscription rhymes that'll turn timelines into an undefined design i'll imprint on the mind this'll be my lesson on discretion blessing the spectrum like i'll challenge anybody objecting with the doomsday weapon shaping the context with bulk aperception gathering from every direction multi-dimensional connections putting boots to the doors of perception no knock invasion persuasion dangerously dope combinations i flex off the sounds that are pumping alchemist steady making something out of nothing reality that resembles intertextuality so devoted to the coded make it inception every time i get quoted more uplifting than compatible drifting rhyme animal shapeshifting ballad of an unleashed altered beast so feast or famine i am forced to take time to examine every moment to the smallest component keep it common knowledge i'm my only opponent spinning in the throws of winning from the beginning plot thickens as the competition keeps thinning
