Diving Bell

If pressure makes diamonds I’m diamond encrusted If dust shows inaction my rhymes are never dusty Clouds in the studio from spitting it's musty Discipline daily is the way that it must be I wrote this on the top shelf my bars premium Each song’s a coupon for gems start redeeming them Get money or die trying the lie of Benjamin I never sold my soul but with greed I injured it Eyes glowing red like Denver's Blucifer stallion My syllables smooth like valerian valium Around my ankle an anchor I tie on To swim to the bottom of my soul and spy on All the liеs that I tell myself and rely on I truly bеlieve words affect matter and microns I spoke paragraphs that wrapped around my neck like pythons Negative thoughts can be parasites cut their supply off Sometimes we forget to remove the masks we try on Caught up in the ego, trying to be an icon Beats are my food, melody I survive on Words are my oxygen, I breathe and I write on It's how I ask questions, let me get my why on Coral reef palimpsest is what I inscribe on Diving deeper now, new realms I arrive on The bottom of the Mariana trench I reside on I saw constellations on the floor the Belt of Orion Everything inverted logic not applying Is the ocean the sky my perception's colliding How much of reality is our mind designing? And can we uncover new domains if we refine it? My soul is a kite when I die I’ll fly on And find an ancestor's shoulder to cry on Floating to the surface I felt my body rise off I hope I don’t get the bends with bubbles in my ions They pulled me back to the boat and said to dry off I woke up alone and found a note that said to dive on I jumped back in the water, not every path is a dry one
