Mackthaknife - Searching For The Key Lyrics

Runnin' from my past every shadow on my back
Got a ghost in the attic but I'm dancin' with the facts
Triple-time in my mind heartbeat out of whack
Keep a bottle in the glove just to balance every act
Fingers grippin' on the void twistin' fate I deploy
All the pressure on my chest but I can't hear the noise
Got the demons on repeat whisper sin to destroy
I been playin' with the rhythm like it's somethin' to enjoy
Slip the gear switch the lane off-beat I feel insane
Polyrhythm in my brain never steady never tame
Tryna breathe but the breath cut short by the flame
Let the reaper see the struggle while I dance in the rain
I'm on my way but I can't find the key
Lost in the cadence it's drownin' me deep
Switchin' my rhythm like breathin' to be free
Countin' every bar but they never repeat
Shadow on my trail tryna split my peace
Fast slow switch it I dodge and weave
Take another hit let my thoughts release
Got the devil in my ear but I never concede
Syncopated misbehavin' switch the pace I elevate
Droppin' bars the ceiling breakin' ghostly echoes in the space
Runnin' lines like I'm skippin' on the surface of my fate
Every pulse got a different measure rhythm in the haze
Panic in the night then I'm floatin' in the light
Never steady every breath is like a war that I fight
All the beats I create keep me driftin' outta sight
Polyrhythmic in my bones I could vanish by the night
Countin' time in the shadows keep my step unpredictable
Melody slippin' through my teeth everything's cyclical
Crossin' the measure with ease split the flow indivisible
Runnin' from the edges of myself I'm invisible
I'm on my way but I can't find the key
Lost in the cadence it's drownin' me deep
Switchin' my rhythm like breathin' to be free
Countin' every bar but they never repeat
Shadow on my trail tryna split my peace
Fast slow switch it I dodge and weave
Take another hit let my thoughts release
Got the devil in my ear but I never concede
