Tangent Lyrics
Downward spiralling once more into the rabbit hole to sing songs with ravens and battle against my soul
Rip the wings off of butterflies, thread 'em on to my quill
Hope and pray to creator "annihilate this need to kill"
Mother bestow order, primordial water flow freely
Trickle on to my forehead, fill up a mind of portents
Of tempests and vortexes shaping the formless mass
According to geometrical math
Morpheus, cast your spell; we have 4 and a half billion years to dream before the fear of Hell dictates the whole of our being
And though I ain't afraid leave the lights on
Guide my subconsciousness to Zion
From high upon the mount we hear the proclamation
Everything we need to know
Written in stone to avoid a planetary devastation
Once wasn't good enough; fool the author twice
Houston, I'ma leave this place; tell me I have clears skies
Fly into a TANGENT, settle into a self-contained corruption of time and space replaying its altered states for nobody's enjoyment
Open your eyelids take possession of what you love and desperately attempt to hide it
It'll be used against you, it will test you, it will press you
It will hound you and surround you 'til it depress and suppress you
Is the truth really worth all of this madness?
Do I really like to manifest it as language?
Do I really like to dream when every night you're out of reach?
And do I really like to see you given that it's really me?
All I see is everything that I have come to be through every chance I never took and as you sleep I just write and rap it over and over again
It never ends; the dual nature of everything: enemies and friends
It's all the same; take your aim, make it your brain and free your mind
Of this glitch in the matrix that we call "Life"
Rip the wings off of butterflies, thread 'em on to my quill
Hope and pray to creator "annihilate this need to kill"
Mother bestow order, primordial water flow freely
Trickle on to my forehead, fill up a mind of portents
Of tempests and vortexes shaping the formless mass
According to geometrical math
Morpheus, cast your spell; we have 4 and a half billion years to dream before the fear of Hell dictates the whole of our being
And though I ain't afraid leave the lights on
Guide my subconsciousness to Zion
From high upon the mount we hear the proclamation
Everything we need to know
Written in stone to avoid a planetary devastation
Once wasn't good enough; fool the author twice
Houston, I'ma leave this place; tell me I have clears skies
Fly into a TANGENT, settle into a self-contained corruption of time and space replaying its altered states for nobody's enjoyment
Open your eyelids take possession of what you love and desperately attempt to hide it
It'll be used against you, it will test you, it will press you
It will hound you and surround you 'til it depress and suppress you
Is the truth really worth all of this madness?
