Every pedestal crumbles and decays like all matter does
When expectation is a prison with nowhere to run
I refuse to be fettered up, cold as a hired gun
Blaze in the morning like a rising sun
Whether or not I fit the existing image, it's all nines and sixes
Who defines your blueprint of what success is?
This is alchemy in practice: elemental, galactic
Tracing these puzzle pieces from jigsaw to jurassic
Connecting dots till heads explode, rhyme in colour-code
Spit kaleidoscope, psychedelic flow
The crowd's faceless, I'm third round with a crane-kick
That's basic, I'm phasing - aiming at a point till time and space rip
So pardon my vernacular
The mysteries of science form a large part of my character
I hypnotize with written styles, shining on scavengers
Hit jugular, bloodclots call me Count Blakula

Build me up, don't break me down
Said you could build me up not break me down
Said you could build me up not break me down
Don't break me down
Build me up, don't break me down
Said you could build me up not break me down
Said you could build me up not break me down
Don't break me down
I've seen them around the way, they claim they're unphased
When it's time to speak truth they just fail to conversate
The comfort of denial is the bane of our existence
And money can buy a lot but not an exit from this system
There's no ending to the mission, no ears willing to listen
You're just singing to the deaf, your most heartfelt admissions
This rat-race has no finish lines, only souls diminish
Enemies within, they just can't quit competing
Make you a slave to the feeling
This game's got a lotta chains to break before you blast through glass ceilings
I seen em, Kaptin oh my Kaptin I believed him
Circle small like nanobots, cliques I never joined - I had to beat em
Knowing if I loosened my grip, I'd watch reality slip
Out of my hands, I'd rather burn my own spaceship
Float belly up when the stern dips
Morph from a rock into dust when that wave hits

So you could build me up, not break me down
Said you could build me up not break me down
Said you could build me up not break me down
Don't break me down X3
