lyrics

how u ever gonna see me?
i'm standing in a shadow
made of electric steam
fluid too hot to swallow
bursting at the seams like a honeybee
upon the edge of a flowers petal
head is caught in a fever dream
red hot as a molten metal
at the threshold of a portal
a doorway of perception
i got a score to settle
just me and my erection
they say it's natural selection,
survival of the fittest
i'm on the hunt for sheer perfection
and now i'm writing out the hitlist

baby can i get a witness to my life of sickness?
my thoughts like a tar so thick and viscous
brain like a plain grey jelly on a biscuit
spread across the bread like a slick meniscus
if you blink you'll miss this
look off in the distance
thunderclouds approach without the least resistance
rain and snow and hail and wind will blow away
the whole array that i display to keep the world at bay

but you can't hold back the flood
i'm just made of mud and clay
i'm just made of flesh and blood
but there is something you can't see
it takes the same shape as me
i can't ever let it go
it's the other half that makes me whole

i don't wanna live without you.
you are my only shadow
you have always walked beside me.
please stay until tomorrow.
i don't wanna live without you.
you're the only one that knows me
you are my only real friend.
you are my only homie

i don't wanna live without you
you are my only homie
you are my only real friend
you're the only one that knows me
i don't wanna live without you
please stay until tomorrow
you have always walked beside.
you are my only shadow

how u ever gonna see me?
i'm standing in a shadow
made of electric steam
the truth is too hot to swallow.
