Kodokushi

[Verse 1]

I shouldn't even be here, mum's the word

I burn down the house, I gum up the works

I'm the wrong vibration to summon to Earth

When the cuffs break, better make enough of the cure

I go proto-human, I'm so unruly

Architect of my Kodokushi

En garde, hop in the box of chopped arms

On the blocks beyond the pop art stockyard

Got a red phone right to the inside

I could turn a ribcage into windchimes

You don't wanna engage, kiddo, it's a burden to bear

It's a whirlybird, nervous in the surface-to-air

I lost count of the cooks, every coward and crook

Every memory or semblance of an, "Out of the woods"

I'm two unrubbed elbows well in the weeds

Even the good eye couldn't find the edge of my seat

Oh, potpourri of confusing powers

All mashed together and shooting outward

Intel gleaned from the prince of dark

Scarecrow every ten for infinity yards

When a spirit and vessel consider living apart

It's official, I ain't sign up for the mission to LARP

My call of duty stay all-consuming

Even if y'all see him as a dollar movie, look

Best in show, I'm the worst there is

That pest control is no urban myth

That floating skull just won't shut up

It's on a business trip from below the crust

Y'all know what's up

Bad news from the black lung

Used to flatline, the shit is so last month, yo

I don't need money to burn, I need sunsets, purple and mother of pearl, c'mon

[Pre-Chorus]

I told ya

I told ya

There they come now, you see them (Yeah)

There they come now, you see them (Yeah)

I told ya

I told ya

There they come now, you see them (Yeah)

There they come now, you see them (Yeah)

[Chorus]

I'ma need you to ease back

No peace out, flee to the evac

Don't be where you be at (Yeah)

I been looking for a reason to react (Yeah)

I'ma need you to reset

No plea, no please, no defense

Don't creep in the deep end (Yeah)

I been looking for a reason to see red (Yeah)

[Verse 2]

Territorial organisms

Each glorifying our poor decisions

I'm a force, you could forecast swarming insects

Who eat all the corn like war is business

I pageant wave from my shallow grave

Patch me in from that astral plane

Ain't ring the bell, I pass through the walls

A cool burgundy in both tooth and claw

Midnight manage an incredible feat

A GPS collar on the neck of the beast

It go, beep-beep, any neck of the reef

Put a reaper on a second week of medical leave

I'm a seer, I could tell you how the curtain descend

Or maybe hint at how it isn't with a circle of friends

I go bah with the black sheep, rah rah, catch me a patsy

Spaz, unravel, and blaspheme

Riddler to keep the gate

It's a groundhog D-Day, Jesus H

I was born on a horse at a steeplechase

My forte's frontline real estate

Plus steak and frites, I take bloody as hell

If it burn black, point him at the honey and milk

I ain't sitting while you sully the well

I turn up in a jiff, jackknife when I jump in the pit

One hundred hands, one million eyes

Two bleeding gums, I will survive

That last line's rose-colored only for a limited time

It all shifts when you militarize

I had a vision of a feather on a seasonal wind

In the shadow of a gargoyle fleeing the brick

Lean in, steal your chips

Where I'm from, y'all wouldn't even be in the mix, ayy

[Pre-Chorus]

I told ya

I told ya

There they come now, you see them (Yeah)

There they come now, you see them (Yeah)

I told ya

I told ya

There they come now, you see them (Yeah)

There they come now, you see them (Yeah)

[Chorus]

I'ma need you to ease back

No peace out, flee to the evac

Don't be where you be at (Yeah)

I been looking for a reason to react (Yeah)

I'ma need you to reset

No plea, no please, no defense

Don't creep in the deep end (Yeah)

I been looking for a reason to see red (Yeah)

[Outro]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
