There's No One New Around You 05:09

Never sustained a right hook to the temple Never shambled around town as a crust punk Never repaired masonry atop a scaffold Never homesick, never traveled Never trawled the bottom and pulled up bycatch Never buried a child as a result of mosquito Never hauled contaminated water back to your village Never defenestrated, never pillaged Never bit nails until they bled Never threatened to shoot your spouse Never lifted cash from the till Never cooked rice, never grilled Never cut a hole in a border fence Never fingerblasted a tight wet cunt Never doubted transubstantiation Never disheveled, never clean-shaven Never first chair violin Never challenged the chain of command Never locked in a garment factory Never disabled, never poached ivory Never had to submit to put food on the table Never understood the essence of art Never recognized value in ugly speech Never postured, never kept receipts Never walked a mile in another's sandals Never gazed through the breach with another's lens Never prostrated, never promised, never forsook Never got a chance to practice landing that right hook

Upon viewing the anima for the first time A wretched thin hand pulls you by the wayside It thinks it knows you, it thinks it knows you It thinks it knows you and there's blood to spill It thinks it knows you, it thinks it knows you It remembers all the cruelty in your heart with no chill Carved out your amygdala Not particularly interested in that Replaced with something better Not particularly interested in that The dreaming drains your stamina Not particularly interested in that Wasted time and couched in vendetta Not particularly interested in that Upon subsequent views of the anima, beyond within Tapestries of light burst from form constants and mangled skin It thinks it knows you, it thinks it knows you It thinks it knows you and there's blood to spill It thinks it knows you, it thinks it knows you It remembers all the cruelty in your heart with no chill Carved out your amygdala Not particularly interested in that Replaced with something better Not particularly interested in that The dreaming drains your stamina Not particularly interested in that Wasted time and couched in vendetta Not particularly interested in that And at the end, a final view of the anima to which I belong The moment of death, I join, I've always been Tapped into the logos of the infinite undersong It thinks it knows you, it thinks it knows you It thinks it knows you and there's blood to spill It thinks it knows you, it thinks it knows you It remembers all the cruelty in your heart with no chill Carved out your amygdala Not particularly interested in that Replaced with something better Not particularly interested in that The dreaming drains your stamina Not particularly interested in that Wasted time and couched in vendetta Not particularly interested in that

Contact the star grid give regards to my favorites Then beseech them for guidance sorry to be such a nuisance Contact the star grid put that piece of citrine in your hand Grasp it until it starts to choke then ask it where it's been Contact the star grid stood upon fevered shoulders Strayed away from Mammon now tracing agates in boulders Contact the star grid whispered, yet it moves Paced around my office as masters tend to do Contact the star grid no one's heard from me in months I owe an explanation but a three-word text seems enough Contact the star grid I hear cheering nearby An apocalyptic raga against a punishing sky Contact the star grid pull the Akashic record Call up all the charlatans leave no crystal unturned Contact the star grid just in time for the crunch When the punks became mystics well, up the mystic punks...? Contact the star grid whispered, yet it moves Paced around my office as masters tend to do Contact the star grid stood upon fevered shoulders Strayed away from Mammon now tracing agates in boulders Contact the star grid put that piece of citrine in your hand Grasp it until it starts to choke then ask it where it's been Contact the star grid give regards to my favorites Then beseech them for guidance sorry to be such a nuisance

Had a breakthrough, was astonished Repeal the statute, drank the solvent Transportation to the surgeon Put me under, tongued my fillings Had a holy fucking mission Repeal the fucking constitution Can't imagine Honor is its own reward Living dying by the sword Evil feeds upon itself I'm happy that you came to help No holy word, no holy word Not for you, my friend, no holy word Repeal the immaculate conception Repeal the resurrection Had a breakthrough, was tremendous Then a day-drunk now a parrot Repetition of the scripture Farm to table, guns to butter Had a holy fucking mission Repeal the fucking constitution Can't imagine Honor is its own reward Living dying by the sword Evil feeds upon itself I'm happy that you came to help No holy word, no holy word Not for you, my friend, no holy word Repeal the immaculate conception Repeal the resurrection
