Sonic: one to a hundred in an instant
Zero never did stand a chance
That shattered barrier
Rings on the edge of victorious chants of tens and ten-thousands of mobians reclaiming their freedom, clinging to the sonic name
Ne’er knowing of how very close they came
To their last day
What they see on the horizon
That isn’t me, but a phantasm
None of the sapphire they’ve come to expect
Only gold that’s stained by sunset
And emeralds that burn ice cold
As the chaos takes its hold
Without a word from me or mine
Just a thought, and i’m gone from their sight
Coming round
To be found homeward-bound
With the taste of ground and bone marrow in my mouth
Is the day saved?
And is it worth the cost of all that’s almost been lost to my abomination?
Dissociation, detrimental, desiccated
Fills my veins with red-hot hatred…
Fleetway: …so speaks the coward hotwired to deny that this heat and this fire are the spices of life
While i’m occupying this mind so blind i might as well relish every bite
The slight quivering bodies of the hapless prey before me sets my tongue to drooling and my soul to soaring
Strewn and skewered and gory
This is my victory
Hah! you look like you’ve seen a ghost
Better try to atone, cus i sure as hell won’t
Better run, better run, but you know you’re not alone
You cannot hide away in the unknown
Only try to flee, but i keep pace
With each step you take, i grow more awake
Each rebellion makes you more unsafe
Hear what i say: it’s my way or the fleetway!
Sonic: can’t catch my breath when i break through the surface
My lungs thickly coated with sweat and agony
Knowing what he’s done inside me
Hair’s breaths away from their end
Towns gather round me, praise me my service
Would that i could be open but he pulls my tongue so it stays unspoken
Fleetway: spare me all the innocence, you idiotic speck
If you were taking their lives, you would be begging for the credit
Who would pretend it’s not satisfying to savor the crunching, bleeding and crying?
You can’t deny the itch that rises up under your skin every time you hear villains call themselves winners
Only shutting their mouths for an eternity will quench everything that you’ve suppressed
Wiping out their armies
Isn’t it your duty?
All the better for this prison if we add some collateral casualties
Cut the weeds, pull out the fox tail
What a floral complement
To rugs of pink and walls of red and all manner of wheedling chattel that begs to be stepped on by this mighty vessel
Sonic: ‘everyone i care for, no matter how loud the opposite is ringing in my skull – i need to protect them from evil whether it comes from inside or out
Can’t have any doubt, can’t let my guard down, can’t let him free near my family’
Once-true words left to spoil
Never long ’til he’s back in control
I am no angel, it’s true but if i am to contain this demon is the answer to be sacrificed?
Fleetway: be sure, i would if i could
Oh it would certainly bring to an end your weak despondence
But for now we are still dependent
So, ’til then, you serve me best alive…
…just a matter of biding
Sonic: what they see within the chasm
That isn’t me, but a phantasm
Hardly the legend they’ve come to expect
Clouded by this darkest aspect
A taunting ‘i’ll see you soon’
As the chaos writes anew without a way to breach the light
Just a thought, and i’m gone for the night to–
Fleetway: spare me all the pleading for your f#cking ego death
If you were made self-aware, you would be begging to bear witness
If you pretend it’s not satisfying to relish the pain, i’ll know that you’re lying
I can’t ignore the itch that agitates the blood within every time that i’m winning you call me a villain
Only shutting your mouth for an eternity would quench everything i represent
So light that fire
Purge the shackles, shake the standards away
Clean that bile
Wipe the canvas for the journey we’ll take
Flying high
Casting our eyes to the sun as it tumbles
Give me that smile
And i’ll give you the flesh ‘fore it crumbles
Sonic and fleetway (at the same time): intertwined
False hero and bane of the law
You and i
One without the other will fall
I define
This i swear: one day, when the time’s right
I’ll see you die
Then i will raze the remains of you and rise!
