Still Beat

 

carom before annihilation
heel turned face
evaluate me
get indicted
pull 180°
my life as A-rank
upstages phalanx

strength
we win
devour soul stuffs
stay attentive
bolster worthless
drones to stop me
you serve a softy
cracks whip on ice skin
bruises buried in
black-eyed coffin

your words lost on me
you speak too often
everything you say is lofty
can’t relate
no
stole your pace
so
now keep up
while you eat my dust bowl

charming devil
looks disheveled
puppet-master
i’m Geppetto
get on my level
or test your mettle
either way
won’t hit a lick on my soul
