Kodokushi

Lyrics

I shouldn't even be here, mum's the word
 I burn down the house, I gum up the works
 I'm the wrong vibration to summon to Earth
 When the cuffs break, better make enough of the cure
 I go proto-human, I'm so unruly
 Architect of my Kodokushi
 En garde, hop in the box of chopped arms
 On the blocks beyond the pop art stockyard
 Got a red phone right to the inside
 I could turn a ribcage into windchimes
 You don't wanna engage, kiddo, it's a burden to bear
 It's a whirlybird, nervous in the surface-to-air
 I lost count of the cooks, every coward and crook
 Every memory or semblance of an, "Out of the woods"
 I'm two unrubbed elbows well in the weeds
 Even the good eye couldn't find the edge of my seat
 Oh, potpourri of confusing powers
 All mashed together and shooting outward
 Intel gleaned from the prince of dark
 Scarecrow every ten for infinity yards
 When a spirit and vessel consider living apart
 It's official, I ain't sign up for the mission to LARP
 My call of duty stay all-consuming
 Even if y'all see him as a dollar movie, look
 Best in show, I'm the worst there is
 That pest control is no urban myth
 That floating skull just won't shut up
 It's on a business trip from below the crust
 Y'all know what's up
 Bad news from the black lung
 Used to flatline, the shit is so last month, yo
 I don't need money to burn, I need sunsets, purple and mother of pearl, c'mon
 I told ya
 I told ya
 There they come now, you see them (Yeah)
 There they come now, you see them (Yeah)
 I told ya
 I told ya
 There they come now, you see them (Yeah)
 There they come now, you see them (Yeah)
 I'ma need you to ease back
 No peace out, flee to the evac
 Don't be where you be at (Yeah)
 I been looking for a reason to react (Yeah)
 I'ma need you to reset
 No plea, no please, no defense
 Don't creep in the deep end (Yeah)
 I been looking for a reason to see red (Yeah)
 Territorial organisms
 Each glorifying our poor decisions
 I'm a force, you could forecast swarming insects
 Who eat all the corn like war is business
 I pageant wave from my shallow grave
 Patch me in from that astral plane
 Ain't ring the bell, I pass through the walls
 A cool burgundy in both tooth and claw
 Midnight manage an incredible feat
 A GPS collar on the neck of the beast
 It go, beep-beep, any neck of the reef
 Put a reaper on a second week of medical leave
 I'm a seer, I could tell you how the curtain descend
 Or maybe hint at how it isn't with a circle of friends
 I go bah with the black sheep, rah rah, catch me a patsy
 Spaz, unravel, and blaspheme
 Riddler to keep the gate
 It's a groundhog D-Day, Jesus H
 I was born on a horse at a steeplechase
 My forte's frontline real estate
 Plus steak and frites, I take bloody as hell
 If it burn black, point him at the honey and milk
 I ain't sitting while you sully the well
 I turn up in a jiff, jackknife when I jump in the pit
 One hundred hands, one million eyes
 Two bleeding gums, I will survive
 That last line's rose-colored only for a limited time
 It all shifts when you militarize
 I had a vision of a feather on a seasonal wind
 In the shadow of a gargoyle fleeing the brick
 Lean in, steal your chips
 Where I'm from, y'all wouldn't even be in the mix, ayy
 I told ya
 I told ya
 There they come now, you see them (Yeah)
 There they come now, you see them (Yeah)
 I told ya
 I told ya
 There they come now, you see them (Yeah)
 There they come now, you see them (Yeah)
 I'ma need you to ease back
 No peace out, flee to the evac
 Don't be where you be at (Yeah)
 I been looking for a reason to react (Yeah)
 I'ma need you to reset
 No plea, no please, no defense
 Don't creep in the deep end (Yeah)
 I been looking for a reason to see red (Yeah)

 Yeah, yeah
