Lyrics

I was at the gates
 Ram's legs, my pizza black, my plants dead
 My planet X, I might bleed green
 I'm what's under the uncut chia seed
 I'm what, what, what, what from the guillotine
 A little flea and tick, a little fever dream
 A little plead the fifth
 Roadkill, I'm off leash
 I don't heel and I'm hung from an unkind mobile
 It turn one misstep into bonemeal
 Look, daybreak, I'm lights out
 My kind sleeps upside down
 It's sci-fi, red tide, my hi and bye make record time
 I go three, two, one, desensitize
 No lie, tell death he could get in line
 K, hellspawn, I'm no joke
 I eat brains, I throw bolts
 I know easy prey, I seen broken oaths
 I go marching in, I'm all, "Oh-ee-oh"
 I know a rodeo from these pony shows
 I don't stay for tea, I can't slow the code, I go
 Coyote, alone and ghost
 I'm in the goddamn smoke, ear, nose, and throat
 Ayy, yo, fresh pot, my favorite mug
 Aes Rock, my day sucked
 Agent of all things deep-sixed
 I feel like I was put here to keep the crypt
 I get tired of bread, I might eat the rich
 I ain't seen a leader, just feeder fish
 You want free weed, you want free shit
 I mean, dude
 I was at the gates
 Wolf's head, my boots on, no bullshit
 I know both sides of that tough love
 They're both mud, that's what's up
 That's what's up, that's what's up
 Straight up and, straight up and down, don't even bother
 I was at the gates
 Snakeskin, my hood low, don't say shit
 I know both sides of that bloodlust
 They're both mud, that's what's up
 That's what's up, that's what's up
 Straight up and, straight up and down, don't even bother
 Rat tail, my backdrop's all black sails
 Dog bite and my bird curse
 Cross-eyed, world's worst
 Troglodyte, I might split the blinds
 I'm like Vincent Van with that instant rice
 I write cryptograms at all waking hours
 I tattoo the mail and all paper towels
 I'm on the kitchen walls, I may paint the house
 It could breach the yard, it's omega-bound
 Game face on dour days, y'all gang-gang's like, "How quaint"
 Gangway for that false start vs. freight trains through stalled cars
 Shame, shame, shit's so wack, show you back to this moth jar
 Death wish from day one, I wake up and it rain blood
 Raincheck these fuck shows, I'm donezo, my brain's mush
 Drumroll, I might piss straight, loose tooth in my spit shake
 Every possible Futurama come trooping out of his pill case
 And I ricochet in my steel cage, one still heart and two hill's eyes
 A few meal bars, a good field knife, I feel good, no field guide
 Just deicide by tea at five
 Once ate a whole gluestick in like two bites
 I do this, I mean, yo
 I was at the gates
 Wolf's head, my boots on, no bullshit
 I know both sides of that tough love
 They're both mud, that's what's up
 That's what's up, that's what's up
 Straight up and, straight up and down, don't even bother
 I was at the gates
 Snakeskin, my hood low, don't say shit
 I know both sides of that bloodlust
 They're both mud, that's what's up
 That's what's up, that's what's up
 Straight up and, straight up and down, don't even bother
 Bear paw, my handshake, oh dear God
 Bare bones, a few air holes
 Barefoot, my square glows
 Scarecrows, who goes there?
 And like who's where when that snare close?
 Bare hands on this bear trap
 For what's staring back in his periscope
 A little care package out of Where's Waldo in a rare beige
 No fair at all, dyed hair and all
 Push foot, I go mach 1, I'm all, "Woosh, woosh"
 I don't pussyfoot, I make potholes, my path home is all drop zones
 Flash bulbs and strobe lights, road signs with crossbones
 Touché from our killjoys who know humanoids are just hit points
 Ain't cop that new heat, that newspeak's all pink noise
 I'm more mood piece around street food
 In my PJs and my snowshoes
 About dog fights in those dungeons
 And lil' dust-ups in y'all's throne room
 It's fun stuff, low moon and my tombstone say, "Hell no"
 Hell yeah to more hail storms aboard ships on St. Elmo's
 My dream home has like ten thousand deadbolts and less than no windows
 I mean, shit
 I was at the gates
 Wolf's head, my boots on, no bullshit
 I know both sides of that tough love
 They're both mud, that's what's up
 That's what's up, that's what's up
 Straight up and, straight up and down, don't even bother
 I was at the gates
 Snakeskin, my hood low, don't say shit
 I know both sides of that bloodlust
 They're both mud, that's what's up
 That's what's up, that's what's up
 Straight up and, straight up and down, don't even bother
