Into the Portal
07:30

Lemme tell you bout the carrion corvid
And prickly pear prophet's fate
Trapped inside this melancholic
Technicolor nightmare ritual
Visual kaleidoscopic blaze
Ain't a thing we can do 'cept search
And wait for a way out
So close for so long
To the sea within my dreamscape
With the fractalated flange all up in my
Nanogates and mind machines
But it's so far out of our way
In your wildest fever dreams and
Where can we go now?
By pure coincidental chance
A way out has presented itself
This juiced-up bit of space junk
Will suffice as a means of travel
Nothing stands between us and the infinite
Save for the asteroid belt
But is it better to turn my ass around
And go back to that dusty old planet?
There's nothing for us back there
But what in the hell could possibly be out here?
Ok i'm not gonna lie
I never thought that i
Would be receiving direction
From a space alien guide
But now we're going to the place where time is space
I'm headed for that heptahedron
How far can we go now?
If i'm gonna be lost
I don't wanna spend all
That time staring at a map
Panic attack
Driving at a brick wall
Hoping to get all
The way to 88 mph
Before impact
And all you really seemed to want
Was to see me fail
To no avail
Breaking the shell
To stop caring what you think
And stop thinking you care
Cause I can no longer dwell
In this self imposed hell
I'm unable to look up at the sky
Without getting a flashback
And I got these demons
Wanting my flesh, hunting me
But if we keep searching for the pattern
The pattern will set us free

Ghastly
09:01
|

Go!
I fell from outer space just to get left in the mist
Not to know where I came from but I need to know what's out
There are so many spots in life where I do get stuck
Without knowledge of the truth but I choose to battle through
I am so confused about this whole entire thing
Like what is my origin and how does that interpret
How can I make it out of all of this awful drit
That has been clogging my pipes and stuffing my brain tonight
If you want me come get me
Stop complaining
If you wanna play ball then let's play ball
If you wanna know me then get to know me
Stop overthinking
If you wanna play ball then let's play ball
If you wanna show me what I oughta be
Try supporting
If you wanna play ball then-
You make me obtusely sick for all of the pain you caused
You did not even assist when I was trying to find
What is my purpose? Why was I put here?
When we be set free and see finally the end?
I went from feeling good to popping my sedan's hood
Cause there is never an end to the struggles we live with
Whether it's what I want or if it's just what is up front
I will do what I'm told and I won't fold or withhold
If you want me the come get me
Stop forgiving
If you wanna play ball then let's play ball
If you wanna know then get to know me
Stop contemplating
If you wanna play ball then let's play ball
If you wanna show me what I oughta be
Try believing
If you wanna play ball then-
It's ghastly it's haunting
This life constantly restarting's
Ghastly it's haunting
Is there nothing that I can do?
(Red, green, blue)
I see the colors as they are starting to shift
Into different opportunities
I see everything as it's meant to be seen
You cannot corroborate and make me feel harsh defeat
I don't need that in my life anymore and I need you to know that
You can't control me anymore I've got sanity and then I've got
Good people that love me the way that I need
But serpents keep on slithering into the abyss that I dig
I need to know that what I'm doing
Is moving forward and not slacking
Can you help me in my learning?
IS there something you can teach me?
What I need is to believe in myself
And if I cannot that this is the end
I will not stutter while my superiors skip
When I tend to their sheep so vicariously
I feel empathy of a single being
Please do not elaborate defile then compile defeat
I need you to know that I want myself to go so far
I cannot deny that there's so much inside my heart
But I cannot continue to allow you to lure me in
What I will turn into will be chosen by my command
You need to know that what you showed me
Wasn't why I backtrack nor how I could succeed
Can't you realize? I'm just growing
Lean into the nature that you could only dream to be in
Don't you worry I'm just floating like an AFK UFO with headlights beaming
It's ghastly it's haunting
This life constantly restarting's
Ghastly it's haunting
Is there nothing that I can do?
Without your touch I feel like a vulture in a deer
Scavenging for lunch like our culture isn't clear
Papyrus under Lesotho trees wallow in the pain bestowed for free
Lycans forever depend on me they're hunting wouldn't you agree
It's creepin in, indecision
It's seepin in, let the thoughts seep
Reverberate
Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop (Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop)
Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop (Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop)
Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop (Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop)
Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop (Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop)
Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop (Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop)
Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop (Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop)
Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop (Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop)
Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop (Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop)
Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop (Doo-wop-doo-wop-wop)
Reverberate
Let the thoughts seep, it's seepin in
This decision, it's creepin
It's ghastly It's haunting
This life constantly restarting's
Ghastly it's haunting
Is there nothing that I can do?
Rising from the mist of life where I do get stuck
You can no longer diss cause I cause no causes
You don't have to change the world
You just have to change yourself
You don't need to fight, react
You just need to fight intact
If you act disrespectful
When you get disrespected
Then you earn respect in
This inadequate perspective
It's ghastly It's haunting
This life constantly restarting's
Ghastly it's haunting
Is there nothing that I can do?
It's ghastly It's haunting
This life constantly restarting's
Ghastly it's haunting
Is there nothing that I can do?
I might make it I might make it
I might make it I might make it
I might make it I might make it
I might make it out!
I might make it
I might make it
I might make it
I might make it out!

being a human.
03:23
|

being a human is so fucking hard
watching the birds and chasing the stars
it's all fucking useless
growing up i didn't know how to do this
i notice that i'm climbing the ladder of success as i'm pacing
rubbing one out right before dawn gives me a tingly sensation
knowing that i'm not important really gets me going
going through the motions
but it's just another day another sunday
back and forth i go feeling so patched then feeling so broke
man i don't even know feeling so used
brokenhearted since the day that we started
when all is said and done
i watch you leave im sad that you are gone
i should not be sad
but you hurt me and you made me wish i had
taken my own life
why did i think you could be my wife?
wandering through the memories that we once shared
wishing that they were gone wishing that they dissapeared
i can't take any of this stress that you're giving me
i wanna love you but you make it so hard
i open my heart to you and you respond with "k cool"
cutting myself and making a blood pool
taking all this hate out on my family just because they are next to me
i know that's what you wanna see, all this blood pouring out of my arteries
got me feeling so depleted
but you're acting so conceited
always acting all heated for no reason
but with me you'd be completed and now i'm feeling defeated
i know i know i know what i said
and i know i know it's too late and i'm already dead
when all is said and done
i watch you leave im sad that you are gone
i should not be sad
but you hurt me and you made me wish i had
taken my own life
why did i think you could be my wife?
when all is said and done
i watched you leave im sad that you are gone
i should not be sad
but you hurt me and you made me wish i had
taken my own life (taken my own life)

Deluxe Big Mac
03:07
|
|||
I buy a Big Mac get it supersized
Eat it to the beat as I bump and grind
This is what I need it's my time to shine
People like to judge make me go insane
I straight murder a flow every time I am not careful
Just like I murder my body with high cholesterol
There are so many rappers these days that are so terrible
You cannot look at me with that because I am bearable
This is my parable
Started unfavorable
Like I would trade it all
Just for a day alone
I'll bring the fame along
Show you these bars for fun
Until the song is done
And then I wait in line for another burger and some fries
Got a combo with a drink but no cup holder in my ride
If you are my lady just know that I'm gonna pay for ya
Triple the daily value recommended caloric
I buy a Big Mac get it supersized
Eat it to the beat as I bump and grind
This is what I need it's my time to shine
People like to judge make me go insane
I buy a Big Mac get it supersized
Eat it to the beat as I bump and grind
This is what I need it's my time to shine
People like to judge make me go insane
After I get through the long line I drive straight to my house
Then I take my food inside and I sit down on my couch
Open up the bag and see that tin foil that is wrapped
Right around my juicy burger that is quadruple-
Stacked to the ceiling stacked stacked so high
How many patties can they fit by my fries
So so many oh so many
Tonight only four but I believe there could be plenty
I'ma be honest I think there should be more than two
Three's not enough I think four will do
Five if possible but we're not there yet
Bring on the price I don't care about my wallet
All of the other options on the menu I do not blink an eye
When the person at the other side of the window sees my weight they will cry
I buy a Big Mac get it supersized
Eat it to the beat as I bump and grind
This is what I need it's my time to shine
People like to judge make me go insane
I buy a Big Mac get it supersized
Eat it to the beat as I bump and grind
This is what I need it's my time to shine
People like to judge make me go insane
(Make me go insane)
(Make me go insane)
(Make me go insane)
(Make me go!)

What Once Was
07:07
|
|||
i know what it's like to lose life
and nothing about this feels right
staring up at the sun
i listened with my third ear,
your melody rang so clear but i'm seeing
blue in the green dream, i fear
talkin bout all that's said and done
i can't see through this haze
it's all caught in the fire, everything we made
don't wanna hurt nobody, so i'll seal myself away
and be controlled
(control)
i am left feeling barren, blind, old, and numb
it seems staring at the icy cold sun
went too far
now living in your world, i had a really good time
but i was hoping we'd build an interplanetary bridge out to mine
now my black hole has a silver line
what once was light from an ever-blazing star
really don't want you to go
but i know you shoulda done this long ago
ice pick holes self-inflicted in my skull
take control
(control)
the unforgiving cold
reaches inside and begins to expand
won't be long, no (now?)
before a watery grave claims me and my friends
keep talking...
hey, that's actually a solid plan
we just might be able to leave this place
if you'd be willing to take one chance, yeah
(guitar solo)
but your mind is altered by every second
of every minute, and i have been it, unholy cynic, and let me tell you
everything that you ever see alters your perspective
and i have seen it, the holy vision
make sure you tell somebody before it's much too late
the cosmic void devours, it feeds on all our hate
don't let it take your memories
learn from this glimpse
cause your eye must now be silent once again
it feels as though
we're all alone
it feels as though
all of us are alone

Closure
04:07
|
|||
now i have realized every single one of them will slip away
and it's all thanks to my inability to relate to other people in general
maybe there's a god, but i'm pretty sure there's a devil
or something lower
look just like a functioning individual on the surface
but still, not a person
just an observer
cause at the center of it all
there's a great big hole
it's black as the space between the stars
and there ain't no way
to resist its pull
consuming everything we are
this apathy has given me nothing but emptiness inside
if i resign to be blind, the whole entire mental state unwinds
the dark goat will begin to ascend
pouring the floods out of the spacial rend
and i can't blame god for not caring
existence is monstrously barren
every single one of them will slip away
cause at the center of it all there's a great big hole
and if you leave it as it is, all it'll ever do is grow and grow
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
maybe that's alright, ok
what i have can't save me in the end
but it can for the moment
now i've managed to forgive
but never can i forget
because of how much it meant

Battle for the Market
05:45
|
|||
[part 1: machinery bop]
when the world starts a-burning and the dead get to turning
these chickens keep a-yearning for lust
it's the middle of December their heads are getting dismembered
for the cult made all its members from dust
now the wind blows in from the east, following behind is the beast
only one mission left to meet
sitting on the throne is the queen, metamorphosized to intrigue
making sure the nation reigns supreme
little did the beast know, there's more to this than a show
the cult are not all they reap and sow
yet still the beast continues, erupting from within shoots
out minions who were forced to choose
critters crawl onto the scene, making their way to the team
wobbling as fat as can be
something must be inside them, there's evidence there's something
whatever it is it has an awful stench
what could we have ever known we are all so turned into the obvious
and scared of the unknowns of trust
Caged!
Crazed!
Craved!
arranging for a meeting, can we sort this peacefully
retain the market for all species far and wide
maturing way too slowly or rapidly declining
we are those that are deciding other's fates
the queen didn't like that answer
no peacefulness here, their team blocked all the exits
closing in from behind, the front, left, and right
the only way out is up, or down
[part 2: mechanical slop]
rise from the ashes of life and let your mind be free
stand up for what you believe and let your body roam free
fight back by simply ignoring and set you soul at ease
at ease
[metal shuffle]
(peace)
[part 3: it's over!]
we won the day, we are victorious tonight
showing that we can prevail in a world that we don't belong in
without this chance i thought that i would end my life
but there's an oasis that i have always been longing for
if the battle has begun
then battle must be won
then we go onto the next one
Rise!
