A narrator faces a failing plane, injuries, and pressure without surrendering, returning to the refrain that no weapon formed against him will prosper.
They think I'm trapped in here with them.
They don't realize... I'm the one who built the cage.
30,000 feet, the airframe starts to scream
The engine's coughing fire, waking cowards from their dream
Oxygen masks drop, people screaming in the rows
I'm pouring out the cognac, watching how it flows
See, panic is a luxury that I can't afford to buy
If the wings decide to fail, I'll just find another way to fly.
If we hit the water, then I'm swimming to the shore
If we hit the dirt, I'm getting up and looking for some more.
I don't bargain with the reaper, I don't ask him for a seat
I just stare into the hollows 'til the bastard feels the heat.
No weapon formed against me is gonna prosper
You went and raised a monster, so I became a god-star
I don't fight the shadow, I just make the shadow grow
Moving through the wreckage with a heavy, steady flow.
Got a girl in the west, she bringing me the stress
Talking 'bout feelings and looking at my chest
I don't hear the noise, I just hear the tone
Put the phone on silent, leave it in the zone
The bills on the table? I don't even look
The problems you are scared of? I put 'em in a book
If I'm bleeding, then I've got enough to finish out the task
Don't you dare reach for a bandage, don't you dare think to ask.
If you take a leg, I'm hopping; if you take the other, I'll crawl
I'll use my teeth to drag my spirit 'til I've conquered every wall.
You see a tragedy? I see a Sunday in the park
The beast doesn't need a candle when he's mastered in the dark.
They're hunting for a man, but the man became the ghost
You're celebrating early while I'm burning down the host.
I don't avoid the obstacle, I wear it like a skin
The more you try to break me, the more the monster wins.
No weapon formed against me is gonna prosper
You went and raised a monster, so I became a god-star
I don't fight the shadow, I just make the shadow grow
Moving through the wreckage with a heavy, steady flow.
Man can't be stressed. Stress is for the prey.
The predator relaxes.
If I bleed, I bleed. If I heal, I heal.
But I never worry.
Pain is just data.
If I lose a liter of blood, I have four liters of intent left.
You thought you could contain the beast by feeding it.
But all you did... was make the monster bigger.
Now there is no cage.
No weapon formed against me is gonna prosper
You went and raised a monster, so I became a god-star
I don't fight the shadow, I just make the shadow grow
Moving through the wreckage with a heavy, steady flow.
Man can't be stressed. Stress is for the prey.
The predator relaxes.
If I bleed, I bleed. If I heal, I heal.
But I never worry.
Man can't be stressed. Stress is for the prey.
The predator relaxes.
If I bleed, I bleed. If I heal, I heal.
But I never worry.
Let the beat talk.
I embrace the turbulence, I'm leaning in the tilt
I'm sitting in the ruins of the empire that you built.
Standing ten feet tall while you're shaking in your boots
I'm the rot inside the branches, I'm the poison in the roots.
I don't need a doctor, I don't need a moment's rest
I've got the spirit of a demon beating holes inside my chest.
No time to mend the wound, I just cauterize the hole
You can have the body—I'm the one who kept the soul.
No weapon formed...
You raised a monster.
Now deal with it.
