lyrics

i found something in the ground
whispering softly to itself
it spoke of the whole
world working in tow
with the resonant hum of the universe

that something was
stuck in a world of dust
but it had wisdom in its eyes
dont think it liked it there anyway

so i chomped it down and
thought maybe now
i can feel the wholeness ive been looking for
is this how it is to be complete?
to feel controlled by your meat?

id stomp this earthly town to know the answer
that something said
id rather lose my head
than ever be beneath one of your boots

when morning came
i saw id been rotting away
decaying with the habits i didnt want to perpetuate
that something was
the only remaining cause for
the misery id swallowed and hoarded

(slow the ground beneath your feet, ill let you breathe just let me eat. i need a host to feed on, so sing your songs and smoke your weed. plz stop. you dont know what your saying, without me you're vacant, reverse the awakening, go back to when your body was my plaything, just say that you're faking, dont end this relation. dwell in ur head, dont leave ur bed, who am i kidding? this is the end.)

i stuck my hand down my throat
for the something that had plagued me most
and now was blocking up all of my passageways
by now id probably torn my insides up
but it was better than living without clarity

that something said
i am soon to be dead so
thank you for all the food you have given me
