Confucius MC - Eyes Don't Shine

Indeed it's a trek
Could find it hard just keeping your step
Watching a man sell himself
For a piece of respect
But we are free to accept
We are equally as free to reject
Listen
Beyond the maze in the distance
They was trying to reach out
But was greeted with much resistance
In the foggy city
Orange street lights that the change the hue Ghosting through
This street life that changes you
A dedication to the more focused
When the door opens
Then it's your opus
Step light like I know something
But all there is to truly know is that I know nothing Your album sounds like a cast off
Can't get your bars off
I'm in the lab writing my arse off
Lighting up Stardawg
Flying my ship like Star Fox Zero
Stuck in a fairy tale but you can't spot the hero

When my light dies out
And my eyes don't shine
Put my message in a bottle
Hope you find those rhymes
When my light dies out
And my eyes don't shine
Put my message in a bottle
Hope you find those rhymes
When my light dies out
And my eyes don't shine
Put my message in a bottle
Hope you find those rhymes
When my light dies out
And my eyes don't shine
Put my message in a bottle
Hope you find those rhymes

Fabled
Still trying to build stairways to Babel
Clogged airwaves
And air raids are the staple
Awards for fair play
Prepared graves for the faithful
Only few men prepare plates for the table
When I rhyme it's like a wide angle
That's slow panning
We used to have five channels
For programming
Now we sacrifice the five senses
For five minutes
Of worthless fame
Before a certified witness
No regard for the sanitation
Busy trying get a repost for validation
Cosied up in the confusion
Keep it passive
While your whole life story is placed on a piece of plastic
Pocket size
We're still living through a prophets eyes
While the hearts sink and the profits rise
Watch the skies
Like I lost a prize
When all seems lost I open up my book and I philosophise
