alive/recoil

Yet another shallow ballad from the gallows
I read it back like palindromes, face is pallid and sallow
The paladin sat alone, his only pal his shadow and
The stack of broken backs and bones that sat upon the mantle
That's accurate
Back in the same acrid clothes as last night
Empty pockets, only armed with a
Flask and a flashlight
To, bask in his past life is regressive and dumb
So from that day he swore he'd nevermore speak his father's tongue
Unsung because of busted lungs and choking vocal chords
The focal point evokes a hope that most folks fail to afford
He's the heartbeat of the city like the statue of happiness
Criticism isn't accurate when raps are immaculate
Man, you got a lot of misses like a dude with many goomars
Fucked beyond recognition, I'm leaving ya crew fubar
A crowbar to ya new car, drop the top like lobotomy
Sippin' blood like it's soda pop, A bottled up phlebotomy
The botanist inside of me got love for the trees
And the songbird caged in my heart got some love for the breeze

Like a
Squadron of demons squabblin' over a drop of clemency
Caught em' hoping my stoic expression would falter cause the odds against me
I don't commune with piggies
Down to the split hooves that frisk ya in your skivvies
Evade em' slick like MC Ricky D
You know my steez, the pattern is these rappers walk with an ataxic gait
Slapstick humor is the name of the game, quit playin' me
With a sane frame of mind, simultaneously unable to think
About the ones I cherish, all the things that
Tickle me pink
Defibrillation to my blood-pumper, stunted growth ultimately taught me something
Post-mortem examinations showed that my body was punctured full stop
Weigh all my options with all of those that linger
Walk into a room, know I got more presence than Kris Kringle
Left fist gracing mics, the right held up for all of my people
Jujutsu Kaisen, Divergent Fists find ya dome in a moment's time,
Slow it down to reflect on the thoughtful strides I take
Recoil from what I dish out ain't enough to deter my gaze
Deter my gaze
