The Host 03:05
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

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

Honeybun 03:02
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

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

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

Wetter Water 03:27
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

Exactish 03:46
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?
14.
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
