danielewski from [001] by MEROSTOMATA

just a child's voice
numbers on a radio
shortwave transmission
cumbersome codes tell you the way to go
critical condition
maybe yes maybe no
but when you stop codeswitchin
everything's debatable
it's a grasping hand
reaching out of your speakers now
it's the corner of your block after dark
that you never even dare just to peek around
and the water's off
tap won't stop with the leaking sound
ant-lion claws
just below a patch of the weakened ground

a one-time pad
decipher what i rap about
call the best and the brightest minds in the world
all to come and try to map it out
it's enigma shift
two-fifteen counts of threes
it's the flames of warfare
burnin down all your house of leaves
i speak in cipher
crypto, not the rhyming kind
try not to lay back
don't wanna be a cat with a reclining mind
this is codetalk steppin
this a hard rock weapon
this if fifteen counts of threes
in a turn just burning down your house of leaves

count backwards now
block of eighteen digits
got you on alert
and the caller says "B" while your "A" team figets
we're real austere
no time for piss and rage
but what's happening here
is a playbook left with a missing page
i will x your o's
i will dot your t's
i will cross your i's off the list
as we go, got a lot of these
binary backwards
writ in steam on a mirror
when you work it out, though
you'll dream awful clear

a one-time pad
decipher what i rap about
call the best and the brightest minds in the world
all to come and try to map it out
it's enigma shift
two-fifteen counts of threes
it's the flames of warfare
burnin down all your house of leaves
i speak in cipher
crypto, not the rhyming kind
try not to lay back
don't wanna be a cat with a reclining mind
this is codetalk steppin
this a hard rock weapon
this if fifteen counts of threes
in a turn just burning down your house of leaves
