Rhymes

Haven't you ever felt like you were drifting in the sands of time/
like your life is a distant series of chimes/
piano keys pressed to the rhythm of the melody the hear makes when it beats/
pattern scattered like the echoes in your mind when the next ghost rhymes/
sublime metaphoric twisted contortions when your face exists on the side of some mountain/
and you listen to the whispers of the crickets deep within the forest/
bamboo thickets/
rivet at the motion perpetual you exhibit/
feeling like the world is a book that you have written/
spirit driven through the 8-bit crust of this planet at one frame per second/
animation suspended leaving your magnet in the air frozen/
staring at the screen crashed/
you scream 'you must be joking!'/
damn the thesis lost train of thought in a collision/
failed the mission/
but you've got no quarters left in your pocket so this life leaves you wishing you'd go idle for a while/
turn to screen saver for a while/
not like you're sick of programs running but what's wrong with chilling for a while?/
style possessed by a demon while stress has you breathing/
filaments that don't exist like oxygen all in your dreams so the chest is really heaving/
seventeen already tired of so many things but still believing/
my vision will one day change the world binded by chains of blinded/
crimes in the city are just images signed autographed lyrical graf art of thieves in the night's climate/
simon says play chess so give me back my two knights forget to check my queen send your king back to the pawn shop/
trade it in for a new link/
what's missing in Hip-Hop is me...
