lyrics

Wouldn't it be nice
To come back a vegetable next time
Live life underground
And feed someone when I die
My arms and legs shrinking in
And I feel the world closing in
Think I wanna be alone
But who am I to be alone
(Breath stolen I lose control)
I met my brain they're smart so I asked him what's a soul
He looked at me and shrugged, "That's all you man, I don't know"
Who's the flow

Big laughs cracks right out the blacklit wall
Shoots a smile like he's thinkin' fine
Thinking back I think I lost my soul
But is that something that I wanna find
And then I look to my right
Dead
On his bed
For the moment the beast is fed
Heart swelled and bled
Cut back to dread
Held on tight as it pulled the threads

Ventured back in half a cycle
Palms slick but it's not like it's a place you could write to
Had to fight through
Instincts in my bones
But now I know
Who calls that place home

I only got through halfway
But as I faded out I heard them say
"We'll give you everything
Come hang"
Think I'm okay
I'll be back some day
