Dead Lines

[Sapient] Wake waking in the daybreak It's okay that my brain aches Another 24 hours of working with no paydays (Forging me) The sculptor is a tempo Disorderly in my neck, but sounds clean in the headphones (let's) Remember my standards are higher than Jerry Garcia In an airplane, and tolerance is lower than desert water (These days) I dream when I'm awake Still feeling a little too caught up, like the last leaf in the rake But I'll be okay, as long as your best work Still isn't better than my worst Don't try to bite cause there's metal in my words I'm severing the nerves that act like chains If my name isn't up in your household (that might change) But you can get the edited thought version Same words, different person Cause I'm a commercial deterrent No I do not like the circus so I don't think I'll be joining thank you very much This is the works (the works) [Ethic & Sapient] I can sense your weaknesses, but you can't sense mine I bring death to the leeches, and I bring life to the deadlines ahead That's what I see, every thread That I bring is capsulated and measured submentally (x2) [Ethic] I've reached the point of arrival and have never looked back I put trust in myself, and have never looked at The last result It's my passion's fault, the fact I haven't slept and the plasic broke On my pen again, entering the ink-deprived (world of the artist) I wear rings under my eyes Is cold at arms, and it's an afforded harm For the opportunity to let legacies live on When I touch a mic, I punch a clock, and meta- -morphasize a life that's not all that Organized, to what you wish you could be When you visualize yourself moving this loosely Over a beat, it's morning complete, bitch I work alone in a 16-bar sequence (I turn to stone) While I'm grinding these leaflets Into dirt, this is the works (the works) [Ethic & Sapient] I can sense your weaknesses, but you can't sense mine I bring death to the leeches, and I bring life to the deadlines ahead That's what I see, every thread That I bring is capsulated and measured submentally (x2) [DJ cuts] [Ethic & Sapient] I can sense your weaknesses, but you can't sense mine I bring death to the leeches, and I bring life to the deadlines ahead That's what I see, every thread That I bring is capsulated and measured submentally (x2)
