Dog Chasing Cars

I wear your fears on my skin

Keloid scars that offer a sinister grin

They tell me I am insane

But I know, I know

Genius is just being ahead of the game

That's why I welcome your shadows

The ones that cascade across this city with pointy ears

An immovable object against an unstoppable force

It had to be this way of course

Your symbol, your power

You’ve changed things my toxic flower

With your ego blazing in the night

That spotlight like an erection across this city

An infection to prevent the atrocities

To promote the fear of your justice

But fear is just a word

It can’t be delivered to the absurd

Y’see I understand fear

I promote it more than you

Mine is true, I have no code

I’m willing to go toe to toe

And dance a merry little waltz

The order of chaos can contribute a thing or two

Anarchy devours the order of any code

I cut my fame into the flesh I expose

A forced bloodthirsty grin

I like to get up close and personal with my sin

I like what I do and I do what I like

You had to tumble and then I broke your bike

A rabid dog racing cars on life's broken road

Flipping coins on faces that corrode

Introducing a little anarchy

Exploding in a thousand decks of me

Welcome to my insanity

At least I don't chase my tail

I leave that to the people of the law

I watch them fail

As I insight war

Make you break your own rules

Turn you into my demented fools

I watch you wail, I see all of your distress

So so angry at the man in a dress

Or a nurses uniform, but I digress

Can you guess what comes next?

As I put my nemesis to the test...
