going Alex Row with the flow rogue captain combating stereo apathy if you don't care be aware getting hands on with a plan to repair the culture blue collar shadetree poet soloist so I must go it alone known to be the catalyst of an even unknown I worked while they watched the throne hell, I was watching too visceral peripherals caught them watching you spotted like a dalmation so I've gotta play Cruela DeVille going in for the kill mixed business for the stormy weather from now until the 12th of never once again it's time to settle my ties just like every time I close my eyes next step movement for improvement reality for modern amusement karmic reward confusion what have I done to deserve this? why am I nervous? lip service in times in divine manner holding a blood-stained banner frontline survivor hitting high scores in the middle of an Arcade Fire an arsonist with asbestos skin I don't even understand the shape I'm in self's reflection connection is made some parts fade to black what remains picks up the slack automatic so there you have it label me an addict of momentum story goes on the human addendum

667 demonstration instillation in an act of desperation deep concentration exploration stimulated revelation full dedication pacing down barrel of full devastation total annihilation cancellation as a transformation agent manifestation of a patient individual innovation formulation of a miracle meditation simulation situation articulation of desired location all things in moderation vacation's all I ever wanted in consideration I received obliteration so I returned the gift to show appreciation receive evaluation this is preparation application going down so that I avoid the elimination round going so atomic that it's comical real life Chronicle reveal skills quite phenomenal so flippant completely indifferent LOLZ for kicks conditioned to stay distant plus I'm scalping wolf tickets on the side making sure each contingent provides to the end game where I burn 'em in the flame horseman on a horse with no name on a journey through the desert forced isolation outside the wake of insane creation take a look around including up and down caretaker of the sights and sounds mixed signal transmission airwaves for those who are not conditioned the automatons cause what I'm on is some Lexus-Nexus reckless information infectious

the prodigal son the army of one the golden gun, my uzi weighs a ton the walk don't run and you get trampled the amplified sample the man who made you an example the apex predator the editor the Hunger Games/Battle Royale competitor gold medalist the absence of evidence the sharp shooter, execution excellence the friendly neighborhood superhero the absolute zero, Jake Lamotta/Rob DeNiro combination the waystation agent the bullyfoot stepper, imprint the pavement the occassional conversational element the next level wise intelligent the full metal alchemist with the golden touch the true man who knew too much the sky captain the man wrapped in enigma the one who counts the moments 'til reality hits ya the conscientious objector, cut selector the mad scientist like Large Professor the lesser of the two evils the rock, flag and eagle the one who knows no equal the missing link the man who writes rhymes with indelible ink that cannot shrink the thinking man the significant grain of sand the insomniac watching everybody sleep on the master plan the one who partakes in the task at hand the hatchet man the rough trade the artistic deviant the new school main ingredient the receiver that makes believers the pack leader with a case of amnesia

double trouble doppleganger hong kong danger duo numero uno as far as you know let it be the singularity is reality we are down barrel call it a tough sell shotgun wedding right now married to the way we are heading natural selection change in direction half instinct, half error correction now my acumen seems far beyond human to illuminate just use your illusion never ending math equation conversation binary audio vocab invasion the numbers don't lie so why should I? lay low 'til we get by apply the pressure lesson for the lesser of two evils who don't know they're equals eagle eye cherry pie scientific samurai modern day Rufus T. Firefly upstarts in a blowout no rules to throw out if your whole plan was to go out in a sort of glorified blaze Apocalypse Now my role is general malaise possible I'm more amazed than Frank Black the leader of the pack can't pick up the slack eyes on my six would be so nice could I be the victim of a tracking device? labelled like M though I am not him what does it stem from? happy to play dumb for the time being leaning into it still play the role of human conduit method acting time for subtraction disappearing act for your whole faction

suckers hang and get hit by the boomerang I mean stay, ricochet, anyway I am a beast that feeds on mistakes longevity is what I make younger than yesterday is the way I manage that's where I hold an advantage Equal parts therapeutic/cathartic artist with a palette of computable logic masterpieces via telekinesis smooth operator with a working thesis not quite sure who greases the wheel but I share how I feel on a daily basis shall not fade or waste away cinematic lifestyle verite doing it our way making our dreams come true and we do that for you osmosis incorporated jaded beyond all comprehension dangerous combinations real-time volatile violation arrangement watch me build and destroy for fun tell them all that I'm your gun Richie Dagger three decades of swagger to spare black Ric Flair none can compare to the most prolific coolest cat ever to be blacklisted skyrocketed my intrinsic value so beautiful, the sweetest taboo break on through to the other side like the next dimension had something to hide stuck in flux raw deluxe emphasize on what lies at the crux of the matter dodge that chatterbox title speakerbox waiting for the next recital I am now living outside the lines wise men say it takes all kinds blindside specialist where the method is sort of like second nature in practice no theatrics no rehearsal all momentum no reversal act like your reaction is parallel reality in modality qualify that anyway you choose seems this ruse contains a short fuse seems nobody escapes the danger fascinated by a beautiful stranger Hangar 18 is the residence of the Execution of Eloquence therefor you can't fence me in turn tension into discipline

bullyfootwork like uprock improv open invitation for you to get involved battle roulette examination placing skill at the mercy of opinion killer of the king's dominion Midas like digits never heard if it ain't broke don't fix it not blessed with invisible touch yet crazy enough they might rush come save me from myself apparently I seem to ask for assistance with passing glances chances are you lost me a long time ago honestly, saving me is not a viable option for personal upward development I create my own element to stay relevant innocent armor like Alphonse Elrich my soul wrestles with an accidental vessel stamp taxin' maxin' and relaxin' main attraction says it's time for some action cut to the chase or face the music gaining momentum to avoid the acoustic onslaught all and all a brick in the wall of sound standing on the verge of getting down no protection from my massive attack told you before I'll take it all back ball bats with nails any sucka duck in the path can count shells in an orderly fashion snap you out the daze the haze you create with you pills and powders and passion plays temporary lovers with wandering eyes nobody's certain where the interest lies at a time like this a very unlikely chain of events for a crime like this
