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

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

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. Do note that we know if you are truly committed to the task and you will be exterminated after 30 minutes of inactivity. Thank you for your cooperation, and show the way of the Trout to others.

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 CHORUS x2

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

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
