Flicker

Blurs in the mirror, ghosts in my gaze
Colors drip slow, like the world's in a haze
Streetlights dance like they know I'm shook
Pages of the day get ripped from the book

Edges get jagged, shadows don't play
Focus fades out like a dream in the gray
Eyes wide open but the truth feel blind
Signals get crossed in the back of my mind

Static in my vision, snow on the reel
But this ain't my fight, that's not my deal
MS in my spine, not behind my eyes
So I thank the Lord for this small surprise

Some folks wake up to a world gone dim
But my lens stay sharp even when it gets grim
I see their pain, still I empathize
But for this one flicker, I'm spared by the skies

World's outta focus, frame by frame
Vision fade quick, but I see through the flame
Every blink's a battle, light and dark collide
Flicker in my sight, but I'm steady on the rise

Noise in the world, but I tune that out
Vision stay locked, even through the doubt
Lines stay blurred, but my path stay true
Focus in the fog like a sniper's view

Chaos outside, but I ride that calm
Storm in the sky, but I psalm that balm
Truth in the static, I decode the signs
Clarity born from the darkest times

Every glitch in the frame just sharpens the lens
Tunnel through the mess, still see how it ends
They lost in the glare, I stare through the shine
A world full of mirrors, but I'm reading the lines

Distorted reality, I don't flinch
Balance in the tilt, not moved an inch
Eyes might flicker, but the fire's precise
Still aiming for the peak with a crystal device

World's outta focus, frame by frame
Vision fade quick, but I see through the flame
Every blink's a battle, light and dark collide
Flicker in my sight, but I'm steady on the rise

World's outta focus, frame by frame
Vision fade quick, but I see through the flame
Every blink's a battle, light and dark collide
Flicker in my sight, but I'm steady on the rise

World's outta focus, frame by frame
Vision fade quick, but I see through the flame
Every blink's a battle, light and dark collide
Flicker in my sight, but I'm steady on the rise

World's outta focus, frame by frame
Vision fade quick, but I see through the flame
Every blink's a battle, light and dark collide
Flicker in my sight, but I'm steady on the rise
