This did not start out as Eminem, but I felt like him by the end haha
Lyrics
The book looks familiar Your name isn’t spelled right Your eye color’s changing But you say it's the sunlight Tell me I’m mistaken I can't trust my memory But I’ve got the photos Can’t run shutterspeed
I can't run shutterspeed I can't outrun shutterspeed
You think you got nerve You think you got what it takes to get under her You think you can get under the city’s skin It lets me in I run through its veins You want in
The clock says the numbers But the darkness is new I could set my clock backwards But the birds already flew You could say I’m mistaken You could say it’s all a blur But I cleaned off the lens And your image got worse
Your image just got worse The birds already flew
You think you got nerve You think you got what it takes to get under her You think you can get under the city’s skin It lets me in I run through its veins And you want in So you dig through cement You send all your men Into the dirt Like at the playground You build it up Then knock it down Like a tower of blocks Your mom drank too much Didn't lock the toy box So you climb up clouds And throw things up See if they fall back down I can run through space Inside my mind It’s an open place You would love to civilize But look in yours first I think you'd find You don't think a lot You think out loud But that's what talking is It's too late now You think you got nerve
I- I keep outrunning this maze But the exit is moved at the start of everyday I- I thought this crossword was solved But the newspaper’s recycling things it thought I forgot

Yes yes yes! Distinguishing vocal styles between verse and chorus here was truly satisfying. Some very well executed held notes! Have never heard much Eminem, but this reminded me of early M.I.A!
Very catchy again! What a great combo you make!
Sigh. Well I guess it was only a matter of time before you guys would sell out and do rap. Up next, a christmas album. Double sigh.
