lyrics

Introverted
Moving Inverted through time
Knew it before you heard it
I heard before jotting the rhymes
I'm
Not throwing knowledge
But catching it
As the record spins
In the opposite direction
And making it sound dyslexic then
Spending a lifetime decoding the message
An algorithm
Destroying your past
For what you did to the present
Perpetual battles against self
Where'd you hide the advantage?

I've felt the struggle before the wound shows up
When the sword navigates back in the sheath
And the wound close up
Hold up
You rise back to your feet
Before the two of you meet
Instinct is king
Never try to understand it
Feel it
As I Deja Vu the same path
With the knowledge of how it's finished
Follow the Lanserat
No computers
His minds a Mentat
They bring the shooters in
Temporal pincer maneuvering
You catching up?
We live in a twilight world
With no friends at dusk
Fremen sinking into Arrakis instead of rising up...
My mind is numb
Spice driving these premonitions
I see the demolition
Shai-Hulud move in reverse
Moonwalk without a rhythm
Every secret
Thats Hidden within the Sietches
I've seen the meanings
In search of different believers

[We live in a twilight world
With no friends at dusk
Fear is the mind killer
The mantra living inside of us x2]


Snatching Oxygen masks
From lungs not functioning backwards
In the Palindrome
Left is right
But the mic was right where he left it
Right?
Probably
See the ending before the beginning
Lisan al Gaib
Or
Kwisatz Haderach
Or
Atreides Muad'dib
Birds flying backwards
The imagery
You must be kidding me
The dragon breathing ice shards
At the reverse of the entropy
Does the Protagonist
Even know how the story ends?
According to his story
He shall know your ways as though born to them
A reverend mother pulls the Gom Jabbar away from the the chosen one
A Crysknife exit a Harkonnen
Back where we started then...
Damn...


[We live in a twilight world
With no friends at dusk
Fear is the mind killer
The mantra living inside of us]
