The Host

Come warm up the place
Check out the spot, admire the display that we made
Aint it great? Would you say that you like it?
I was going for something between spooky and playful
I hope I succeeded, 'cause you needed the poke
Tread lightly in case someone's watching
I told you to stay in your place
Making the same mistakes
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again
And over again
Repeat and refrain
At least melodically, not the same stuff that I'm saying
To be plain I remain truly lazy and meta
Bridge for trolling, stones for rolling, how's it polling
Time's taken its toll and it won't be untaken as far as we know
Who wants control, who wants to know
Who's the guest, who's the host
Who's in the corner
Whose flickering won't ever stop
Won't stop no matter how hard you

Who's Got the Sand

Writhing there
Between the eyes, your favorite pair
The light leaves a stain
That you smother and spread
That you cover instead of cleaning
Falling off the edge
Becoming gone
The price of bread
The type of blood you'd like to bleed
Do whatever you want
Whenever you need a hand, a chance, a plan
Who's got the time, who's got the sand
Follow the signs
Tighten your straps before you crash
Is it true? Are you sure?
It's never gonna go away
That's what they say, that's what I heard
There's no end, that's the ending
Don't shoot the messenger

So much for singing along, I can't remember the song
I can't remember my own name
Aren't you the one who they called
Aren't you the one who they say
Get your fix, get your god
Long as you don't get got
Lost your way, lost the plot
Here I come, ready or not
You're so close, it's almost true
Don't be rude to your hosts
They did this for you (x3)
And the least you can do is pretend to enjoy
what they clearly put so much of their time and minds and life into
Toy with me one more time and boy, I don't know what I'll do
But I wouldn't wanna be you finding out
Finding out, finding out, finding out
What they have to sell you, compel you
The hell have you done
Don't tell no one
Won't find no escape if you run
Goodbye, Honeybun

Stop Thinking
02:35

Tongue is tied, lips are sewn
Cutting right to the bone
Can't release, can't record
Canopy from discord
In a rut, in order
Channel 5 reporter
Flip the switch, untangle
Apple dongle dangles
Thought I could play along
Thought I'd put it in a song
Though some thoughts so wrong
I should probably stop thinking
Stop thinking

Need to Know
03:19
|

No more talking, you squeak when you lie
Is it time? Skip the line
Take your place, stake your claim
Fake divine
I've been staring for so long I can't even watch it
I can't even take it, I can't even find it
Have you heard that before?
Did you knock on the door?
If not then who was that?
The buzzer keeps buzzing, my shotgun keeps rubbing my hand
Are they the same? Are they yours?
Can't complain, can't contain my remorse
Just wait, don't dissipate what you pour
In its place take this strange glowing orb
And run
One more mistake and you'll break it
At least put it down for a second
I swear we'll be fine
Clear your mind, clear the room
Eat the dirt, lick the grime, join the zoom
I can't stop running backwards
I can't keep chasing after
I can't remember which disaster was ours
The precious ever after
The rats scamper through the rafters
My hat's tipped but I'm tight lipped
Don't think you need to know

The Pudding
04:02
|

Out of sight, out of place
Imitate the cold sun
If you're trying to escape we've got just the potion
Say your prayers, say your peace
Say you'll send them our way
Say what you said won't you say what you're saying again
Pardon the garbling, gargle mint
Spinning your plate
If you choose it ain't fate
The fire that warms us the same one that singes our face
Take your time, tie your lace
The wire that carries the current that carries the waves
Watch them break, watch the wake, watch the
Five finger discount on soul
Not sure from who but I'm sure that I stole
Under the influence of
Heaven below, hell above, what is love
Baby don't hurt me I'm sore
Okay maybe just one or two or three hundred eighty four more
Lost the count, what's the score
What it's 'bout, who it's for
When in doubt know for sure that you've found the truth
You're supposed to be confused
If you ain't then you lying despite all that squawking you do
I'm certain you're just as uncertain as you are the proof
I hear it's in the pudding
I hear it's in the pudding
Your fear is in the pudding, all you revere is in the pudding
It's unclear what's in the pudding, beyond the veneer there is the pudding
My rear is in the pudding
Probably don't eat the pudding, my butt touched it
The pudding tastes so... uhhhhhhh.... good
Clean your bowl like you should, clean your bowl like you should
Clean your bowl 'cause you're good
Clean your bowl, if you don't then you're gonna get scolded and that would suck
The pudding, the pudding, the pudding, the pudding cup
Ain't got much else to say let's wrap all of this strange nonsense up
That sweet goop is the truth, just remember whenever you're stuck
The pudding, the pudding, the pudding, the pudding

No Time for Warpin'
02:48

You find yourself on the run, you lost yourself in the role
You couldn't make this shit up, you couldn't let that shit go
It's always never enough, it's never always controlled
Eyes rolled back, speaking in tongues
Edegeabebeoh
Say why you turning away?
I said don't fuck with my flow
There ain't no fake in my face, there ain't no self in the soul
Time wasting taking up space
Where'd that emptiness go
All that arises must fade
No one survives, no one knows
Like you just made it all up, like you just shat on the floor
It's on the tip of my tongue but I can't taste it no more
My hypothetical hum, your theoretical torque
I ain't go much on my plate, you ain't got much on your fork
No goddamn time to be playing
No goddamn time to be warped
How you define what you're saying
If I could explain it I wouldn't of course

Guess they just did it for laughs
Weight off my chest I can't spin this kindly
Pick up the pieces of air
Whose warning flaring, whose glare you're minding
Can't wait, don't stare
Tearing apart, ain't the same road winding
Another fork in the butter
Another spoonful of glucose binding
You make a cute pair, you'd make it work even better
Like it ain't even fair, this water could be wetter
You're not walking alone
Give a dog a bone, paddywhack
Distract them and sneak through the back
Wait, stay
Is your mark on the park bench? I can't say
Hold tight
If they repeatedly stab you don't walk towards the light
Hephaestus forging forever
Hammer and anvil, I hear bones grinding
Balance the edge that you bevel
Feet in the stirrups but still not riding
In disrepair
Pretend to polish but spit's not shining
Can't lose, don't care
Nothing to prove, nothing too confining
I thought for sure you were dead
Guess I'm not quite on your level
How many lives do you get?
How many deals with the devil?
You're not talking to no one
You're not listening at all
Matter fact- remind us what they just said last
Not that it really matters
Not that we really care
The glass is already shattered
Your ass is already bare

Take a break, take the call
Make your face match the walls
Chameleon camouflage
Further ain't even far
How long has it been since we saw them again?
My favorite alien
Knocked 'em up, meet the kids
Watch your mouth, wash the dish
Did you catch? Tuning in
Dropping out, your first pitch
Barely an inconvenience
Truth is my throat is slit
Truth is false, isn't it
Truth is true, what it is
Truth is uhhhhh..... exact.... ish
Taking the weight off your back and your shoulders
Faking your smiles for the audience
Smoldering ashes of your cigarette
Put it out on my tongue, I ain't felt nothing yet
Tracing lines, winding back to their source
Intertwined, the tweed you need so coarse
Scratching off with dimes, the quarterly report
Could I make you mine? Insert witty retort
Common interests and sense
Inside the sty or the pen
All over all over again
Exactly what you meant
Exactly who you've been
Exactly where you went
Exactly how it is
Exactly exactish
Taking the weight off your back and your shoulders
Faking your smiles for the audience
Smoldering ashes of your cigarette
Put it out on my tongue, I ain't felt nothing yet

Just get it out of my face
I've got the time and the space
I still can't figure it out
When everybody's escaped
With no more rhymes to erase
Who put these words in my mouth
Indifferent to your complaints
It's different, sounds like it tastes
The truth is I don't know how
Your frequency doesn't change
Don't go policing my strange as if you know what it's 'bout
Doubt
In the daylight, still won't play right
Just can't stay in your lane
And this evening, when it's leaving
Will it all feel the same?

No more dead left to raise
Tear my heart out and chew it in front of your face
Play your part, play the game
What's your high score I bet I could beat
It's ok if you're still not ok
It's alright if alright feels like lightyears away
It's a mess, it's a pain
Still ain't shit if you compare, no room to complain
Doing it anyway
I'm so sick I could split your head open, in twain
Splattered bits of your brains
Zero one, just for fun
Binary means it's fake
From cradle to grave
From dust into dust
From the darkest recesses of space
Every bit, every change
Every one every day every thing every possible way
I'm just saying, just playing, just hanging
Are you weighing decisions, delaying
In an awkward position, just listen
I'm permissive but still have my limits
And I think this is it kid
But maybe not
It's inconclusive, it doesn't finish, it's not quite
