From the recording Transpire (Initial Edition / Parallel Edition Hip-hop/Rap-Verse)
Lyrics
[Intro]
Lab rat in a trial
Longing for clearer isles
[Verse 1]
Question marks are etched onto hallways
It's a twisting lobby with lots of doorways
Inverted corridors are in every walkway
Entrances branch into many like a roadway
Exits are boarded up always
In summary, cluelessness outweighs
Am I inherently far or near?
I can't tell, regardless of how I peer
Transparency jeers
Can I be certain of what I loosely hear?
Confusions a millimeter by the turbid year
Vagueness is a centimeter which sneers
Quandaries are an inch, I fear
Inscrutable is a foot which goes unclear
Mind-boggled by a paradoxical yard
The unthinkable is a meter of growin' lard
Reality-bending is a kilometer of bizarre
The rough miles to distinctness enlarge
Obviousness doesn't wanna barge
Imperial or metric, enigmas discharge
[Chorus]
Getting through shaped gauntlets
Wading through riddles and murkiness
I'm mapless, can't unlatch these hatches
Getting through shaped gauntlets
Getting through shaped gauntlets
Getting through shaped gauntlets
[Verse 2]
Question marks are etched onto hallways
Descending down befuddled pathways
Rationality is garbled by the second
Radar's senses are nowhere to be detected
As I'm warped in a swamp that perplexes
Key-locked to what compresses
Precision's whereabouts are mystified
Directness scurries from the unsimplified
Rationale's a rodent whisker, is it justified?
The unanswered remains unmagnified
Stagnant intuition goes unnotified
Spiraling mysteries have it all unidentified
Why can't things become clarified?
If I had intelligibility, I'd be gratified
Unfortunately, that skill isn't exemplified
Hunches are unqualified
Obscureness is personified
Ambiguity has my feeble senses terrified
Metaphorical pikes have intensified
Now it's more complex to specify
2D and 3D shapings signify
Circle, oval, semicircle, triangle
Equilateral, isosceles, scalene
Square, rectangle, rhombus
Parallelogram, trapezoid, annulus
Pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon
Nonagon, decagon, dodecagon, polygon
Star, crescent, kite, heart, arrow
Cross, sphere, hemisphere, ellipsoid
Cube, triangular prism, hexagonal prism, cuboid
Pentagonal prism, square pyramid, triangular pyramid
Pentagonal pyramid, hexagonal pyramid, cylinder, cone
Torus, dodecahedron, icosahedron, and octahedron
Interminable geometry
Yep, that's the boundless analogy
So, I apply the principles of trigonometry
Attempt to unscramble the biometry
Seek to index the isometry
Flustered by the symmetry and asymmetry
[Chorus]
Getting through shaped gauntlets
Wading through riddles and murkiness
I'm mapless, can't unlatch these hatches
Getting through shaped gauntlets
Wading through riddles and murkiness
I'm mapless, can't unlatch these hatches
Getting through shaped gauntlets
[Verse 3]
Question marks are etched onto hallways
Validity, escort me to your airways
Show the coordinates to clarity
'Cause I'm jumbled in the unknowing
Embroiled in dungeons, which have no clues
Labyrinths are rigged in what convolutes
