Isolated Stare Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[E][Am]
[E]
[Am][F]
[Am]
I felt [D]that isolated stare from

[Verse 1]
[D]
a million pairs of [Bm]eyes
Burnt this [G]feeling into retina
used as rhythmic device
Devise an ill sup[D]ply unrefined imagery
Can ex[Am]press captured
[A]hatred quite [D]vividly
Won't resort to [G]use of single
simile
(Your) actions simply savage
to a god's symmetry
You lack civility
Descend from men of [E]caves
While we gave the gift of [Am]cities
My [G]people's architects
Your actions parasitic
When it [Am]comes to artforms get
it straight son [D]we live it
If this was '85 i'd be [A]telling you yall bit it
I'll [Em]play eternal [G]cynic
The tongues i speak intrinsic
Linguistics lodged in larynx made the
[Em]words you spit transparent
Tales known to [D]Two divided
lives collide at Varick
Re[G]formed in form of lyrics
A [Em]page of hiero[G]glyphics
[D]Marks mathematics of
a people's true existence
When [A]force exceeds resistance
It's our core that loses [Am]vision.
[Am]

[Verse 2]
Restored glory just to [Am]be
reduced to rubble
Dismantled [D]culture's last
[Am]gasp is never subtle
Common psyche troubled
Infants drown in puddles
[Am]Shallow answers sabotage
attempts at weak re[D]buttal
You'd [Am]miss my essence even if you
wrote this [Am]ver batim
Deranged sense of rhythm gives this
griot endless patience
Obtained ancient manuscript
said to hold sal[Am]vation
It read "your quest for fairy tales will
[D]lead to more frus[Am]tration."
Formulated thought now con
[Am]densed to pure equation
Arithmetic of breath coincides
with vicious nature.
