The Roundest of Squares
04:33
|
|||
VERSE 1
They’ll wake you up at the break of dawn
And tell you who’s for dinner
A sight before your very eyes
They treat you like a sinner
PRECHORUS
Curves of great affinity
Grant them invisibility
You too could get this ability
They leave you with no dignity
CHORUS
The roundest of squares
They think that you’re the one
They’ll pick you up and put you down
And stamp on you for fun
The roundest of squares
We do not understand
What does it mean, what do they do?
What did they tell the man?
VERSE 2
They say that you have a choice in it
But inside they’ll be lying
And when you scream out to them for help
They’ll leave, alone and crying
PRECHORUS
CHORUS

Essence of Cement
03:48
|
|||
there is no premise
there is no end
there is only the essence of cement
you cannot run
and you cannot hide
the cement will show you its might
when you collapse
and enter a state of relapse
the essence will set off all of your traps
you are condemned
you do not understand
there is only the essence of cement

No Other Choices
04:01
|

VERSE 1
the sky is so low tonight
some people say that the end is near
but we're all just cockroaches
without sense, without fear
they say that we should be prepared
they say that we mustn't rejoice
but we're all just moths
without anything resembling a voice
CHORUS
our wonders are taken away
our hatreds and friendships forgotten
i'm left to wander alone
they leave me with no other choices
VERSE 2
our mistakes are taken away
our hopes and delusions forgotten
i'm left to ponder alone
they do not understand our importance
in this strange turn of events
they wait for the moment to fall
but we all come out of the void
with nothing left for us at all
CHORUS

The Trout greets you. Thank you for siding with us. Your first task will be detecting getting rid of people who disagree with the Trout, starting with your nearest surroundings.

All Hail Carlos
06:23
|
|||
VERSE 1
It must be nice to be a bug
You either live or die, who knows whether
You’re gonna live through tomorrow night
It’s good that bugs have no concept of time
I think that life’s so simple there
You’re either killing or you’re being killed
By someone much bigger than you
And they’d be much tougher and stronger too
And all the ladies look so nice
That’s when they’re not trying to eat you up
So I’ll just run away and fear
And go back to my home under a rock
But now I’m hungry for something
Something that moves or some fresh greenery
And its big dangerous world
For an insect just as small as me
PRECHORUS
It’s simple and yet so very dangerous
I’m trying to get a point of view on the
Forest floor and that ant says to me
There’s someone who can help you around
So we all shout
CHORUS
All Hail, All Hail Carlos
He may be small but he can jump real high
And his family is big just like his courage
We all ask to Carlos:
“Could you leave us weaker bugs in peace?”
Because we know that he’s so frightening
VERSE 2
It isn’t easy being small
With all these legs it gets so tiresome
And in this frightening forest game
There’s only one big bug who takes control
Oh, do you all know who he is?
He reigns supreme all over my city
To all the bugs he says “Hello!”
But does he really mean “Goodbye to you all!”?
And so his troubling tirade grows
And if you try to say he drags your nose
And then throws it in a ditch
I can’t believe he’d do that, what a-
We should start a revolution now!
All the spiders say we’ll stay at home
Although I want to go outside
And see the giant world that’s full of crime
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
VERSE 3
I think that I might go insane
I cannot find a place I can call home
Without it being quickly squashed
Why did I come down to here anyway?
I say to Carlos, “Please help me!”
He tells me there’s a way I can escape
But there’s no way of coming back
The solution’s here in this very snack
I can be human once again
Back to four limbs and two eyes as well
And then when I’m all fully sized
Carlos will see me and will run away
Because I’ve got the power now
Stupid Carlos cannot resist this
I’ve got a weapon known as shoe
Nobody’s questioning and answering to you
PRECHORUS

Wormtown
04:54
|
|||
VERSE 1
there is a place
far below the ground
and within it are its residents
who cannot make a sound
i learnt about it last summer
my rainworm buddy told me about it
he said "wormtown is a very beautiful town and i hope that someday youll arrive"
PRECHORUS 1
because soon meteors will fall down from the sky
and everything above the earth is going to die
your best solution is to transfer your mind
into one of our kind
to hide in wormtown
CHORUS
wormtown, its a beautiful place
wormtown, its a very great place
its tunnels are long
its architecture is strong
wormtown, the best place youve never heard of
wormtown, its a beautiful place
wormtown, its a very great place
its people are great
now let me get this straight
we really wish you were here before its too late
VERSE 2
there is a place
where i want to be
somehow, only in the deepest depths
i can truly feel free
i learnt about it last summer
my rainworm buddy told me about it
but i said "how im gonna fit if im too big ohnooooooooo"
PRECHORUS 2
because soon meteors will fall down from the sky
and everything above the earth is going to die
your best solution is to transfer your mind
into one of our kind
to live in wormtown
CHORUS
OUTRO
the worms with eyes
the worms with eyes
together we’ll linger
and count the days

I've Met the Mold Man
08:05
|
|||
VERSE 1
Behind the furnace in the abandoned house
He crouches and communes with the mouse
Bones and boils, everything soiled
Sick and alone, he gnaws the rat bone
I want to go home
CHORUS
I’ve met the Mold Man
That moss-covered old man
I’ve met the Mold Man
Impossibly old man
VERSE 2
Tattered dolls, old plastic cars
Worms in a jar
A lady’s dress, stuffed with straw
Remnants of a friend he once saw
He sees me and guffaws
CHORUS
BREAK
Rat bone fallen, rotten teeth bared
Moldy hands grasping at the air
From his fungal throne he rises
He gazes into my eyes
VERSE 3
He gives me a can covered in slime
For the first time ever, I feel truly alive
There's only one thought in my brain
As I hold this liver in a can
I've met the mold man
OUTRO
Water drips, the walls crawl
Black mold has covered it all

Monolith
09:01
|
|||
VERSE 1
The power to make you evolve
Is greater than the pain
A new life is like a dream
You are too young to know what’s wrong
No one can take that away
The power of the dream
In the darkest of dark places
The voice inside you is a great song
VERSE 2
Morning is hard to find
In the quietest parts you cry
The love that brings you closer
You think nothing of your life,
That they're just to be
The pain is bigger than all
The feeling that you're alive
The voice inside you is a great song
VERSE 1
VERSE 2
CHORUS
And the Monolith
It calls to you, and says
The evolution of your mind
In the light, all the light
This new form
of knowledge
Is not in light,
Nor is it in mind.
Luminous mind!
VERSE 1
VERSE 3
But it's so peaceful
In a place where no one cares about you
It's like your soul will heal,
And the darkness will disappear
You will know, you will know who you are,
And the pain will fade
It's like your soul will heal,
The voice inside you is a great song
CHORUS
