A glue dude with a gun-look of wonder
[Verse 3]
A greasy man the moment you’re under
TC cracked down the walls of wonder
Bye-bye man, I know it's a blunder
Bye-bye man, I holler from under
Awful daddy but I bet he's a fun one
Easy running when the world's gone under
Bye-bye daddy, did you move the young ones?
Leave your ratty ratty world, now it's over
[Verse 4]
A new stop, baby, torn asunder
I shoved you down and you went under
I don't see us living on the stuff you plunder
You're coming on strong with the rolling thunder
The Experimenter
[Verse 1]
Nothing always happens when you're down here a thousand miles
Nothing always happens when you lie, lie, lie around here
Everybody's happy when you look outside, it's heavy
Humans are all crawling around out here in the streets
[Verse 2]
Something always pops up when you're outside, oh yeah, it's heavy
Every goddamn time you got the blah blah blah in the street
Everybody's doing everybody else's thing
Everybody's talking about how, how, how it should be

Snickersnee
[Verse 1]
Walk around with those expired eyes
Politicians tell you only lies
It possesses every breath you breathe
Hauling all that feculence around
I'm coming right behind you
[Verse 2]
Snicker-snack will have you on your knees
I'm about to minimize your needs
Suffocating influx of your feed
No more sighing every time you breathe
I'm coming right behind you
[Verse 3]
Walk around with those expired eyes
Politicians fill you only lies
It possesses every breath you breathe
Hauling all that feculence around
I'm coming right behind you
Fu Xi
[Verse 1]
Run, run, see through sun
Bum, bum bum
One, two, turns the screw
Bum, bum bum
Hold your reigns up high
Bum, bum bum
See a hand in sky
Bum, bum bum
[Verse 2]
Hello, look behind you
Bum, bum bum
Behold, the coiling screw
Bum, bum bum
Then you're torn in two
Bum, bum bum
Last breath before death
Bum, bum bum
Scutum & Scorpius
[Verse]
Whizzing by
What the fuck
Lazing here, it ruined the afternoon
Panicked voice
On the CNR
Reaching out as the bug swirls all around
I will follow unarmed
Then I'm lying in the muddy field
Rum pum pum
It's wonderful
As I gaze at the starry mirror
Gholū
[Verse 1]
One more rind for the Gholü skinner
One more carcass for a demonic dinner
Have a taste of that
Have a taste of that black stew
One last bite full of shake and shiver
[Verse 2]
One more gasp from a beaten bleeder
One more meal stored in my freezer
Take a lump of that
Take a whiff of that then chew
One last gulp of the beast that quivers
[Verse 3]
One more blast from the finger on the trigger
One more wound for the feral grave digger
Take a swing at that
Have a swipe at that, fuck you
One last time down the blood red river
[Verse 4]
One more rind for the Gholü skinner
One more carcass for a demonic dinner
Have a taste of that
Have a taste of that black stew
One last bite full of shake and shiver
Poisoned Stones
[Verse 1]
Hey
A big operation
Every night
It really suits you
In my eyes
Hey
Laying in the basement
Awake at night
Nobody with you
You'll be alright
[Verse 2]
Hey
Baking in the wasteland
Every night
It really suits you
In my eyes
Hey
Standing on the corner
Every night
Be who you want to
It's alright
[Verse 3]
Hey
Fix in the bathroom
It's all right
Maybe come and shoot you
But you can't die
Hey
Silent on the ceiling
Puddle on the floor
Who's that knocking
On your door?
Psy-Ops Dispatch
[Verse 1]
Look at us together
Laying eye to eye
People on the screen keep saying
They need us alive
Wipe our minds together
Scanning all we find
Crush the job of filling people
With manufactured lies
They won't know
[Verse 2]
Lock us all together
Pulsing low-end sine
Image on the screen disrupting
A withered broken mind
Link us all together
Like a spider web
We shut down the information
Open up your eye
One more time
[Verse 3]
Look at us together
Standing under sky
Feel the sun upon our faces
Content to be alive
Brother versus brother
A weapon in my mind
This will be the story we tell
To keep the fear alive

[Instrumental]
Heartworm
[Verse]
We don't talk a lot
Yet we have a lot to talk about
When you feel all fucked up
Grab a shard and cover me in cuts
[Chorus]
The world's so fucked up
We've got worms swimming in our guts
But if we should all get fed up
There's one way to sew this whole thing up, up, up, up, up, up, up
[Verse]
We don't talk a lot
Yet we have a lot to talk about
When you feel all fucked up
Grab a shard and cover me in cuts
[Chorus]
The world's so fucked up
We've got worms swimming in our guts
But if we should all get fed up
There's one way to sew this whole thing up, up
Together Tomorrow
[Verse 1]
Tapping at the window
Who's that?
Dry out your eyeball
Fuck that
Blacking out the mirror
Lie back
Slapping on the wrist now
Tap, tap, tap
[Verse 2]
Leaning over slowly
Why’s that?
Underneath the ocean
You like that
When can I see you?
Like that
Maybe tomorrow
Fuck that

Henchlock
[Verse 1]
Too much information, maybe, discipline
So much aggravation, baby, it's a drag
Too much hesitation, maybe, I'm feeling low
Without complications, baby, without woe, yeah
[Verse 2]
I got concentration, baby, in my eye
It's a fetid nation, maybe, it's a drag
An abomination, maybe, but I won't cry
Without complication, baby, without woe, yeah
[Verse 3]
Let's have compensation, baby, for your crimes
Evil men still living but they are fine
It's an evil nation, baby, death and dying
Looking out the window, baby, it's on fire, yeah
[Bridge]
Where is that cup of tea?
We all want cups of tea while we sit around
[Verse 4]
It's an easy living, baby, when you're dying
On an empty stomach, maybe, but feeling fine
Holler when you're yonder, baby, what's it like?
Often we do wonder, baby, about the afterlife, yeah
