Tracks



01. Choke

Help, I'm drowning
There's nobody around me
I need someone to save me
Can you come and take me?
Help, I'm choking
There's liquid in my breathing
I think I'm sinking
The oxygen is leaking

Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke

The demon has seen me
He said I'm not leaving
The angel is watching me, knows he can't stop me
I'm guessing they're testing me
Getting the best of me
Don't know how long until they see the rest of me

Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke

They don't believe me
My heart isn't beating
They say I'm imagining, just make believing
The geometry I am seeing
Is leading me to frequencies in my chest, and they're teasing me

Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke

Now everything's clearer
I look in the mirror
And laugh at the past in the face of the fear
The angel is watching me laugh
And he stops me
To tell me that the end is here
Transition completed
The demon's defeated
He disappears into the smoke
All systems are go
Countdown, five, four, three, two, one

Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke

Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke
Choke

02. Voicemail

I can't feel my fingers
I can't feel my toes
There's blood on my necklace
And blood on my clothes
I called up the police
Their voicemail was full
I guess I'm just out here
I'm on my own

I'm on my own, I'm on my own
I'm on my, I'm on my, I'm on my own
I'm on my own, I'm on my own
I'm on my, I'm on my, I'm on my own

Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'

Baby wants to come home to daddy
Baby wants to come home to daddy
Poppy is your mommy
Poppy is your mommy

Do I make you angry?
Should I leave you alone?
You keep running from me
It's all that you know
Kimi hazukashii
Te ni imashou
I guess I'm just out here
I'm on my own

I'm on my own, I'm on my own
I'm on my, I'm on my, I'm on my own
I'm on my own, I'm on my own
I'm on my, I'm on my, I'm on my own

Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin'

Poppy is your mommy
Poppy is your mommy

03. Scary Mask

[Poppy:]
I wear my scary mask
When I'm afraid
I don't belong
You can't read my brain
Until it's off
Not coming off
Not coming off

Get up

I'm never gonna take it off
So don't touch me
Never gonna take it off
Stop looking at me
Never gonna take it off
So don't touch me
Never gonna take it off
Stop looking at me

[FEVER 333:]
I'm alright
I'm alright
I'm alright
You ain't gonna see me tonight

[Poppy:]
M-A-S-K
Am I okay?
M-A-S-K
Am I okay?

[Poppy & FEVER 333:]
M-A-S-K
Am I okay?
M-A-S-K
Am I okay?

[FEVER 333:]
You're wearing your mask
You're wearing your mask

I wasn't me but I ain't scared now
I wasn't me but I don't care now
I wasn't me, I ain't scared now
I wasn't me, I don't care now

[Poppy:]
I wear my scary mask
When I'm afraid
I don't belong
You can't read my brain
Until it's off
Not coming off
Not coming off

You can't read my brain
Until it's off
Not coming off

I'm never gonna take it off
So don't touch me
Never gonna take it off
Stop looking at me
Never gonna take it off
So don't touch me
Never gonna take it off
Stop looking at me

[FEVER 333:]
I'm alright
I'm alright
I'm alright
You ain't gonna see me tonight

[Poppy:]
I said don't look at me

[FEVER 333:]
Well, you heard the woman, so fucking look away

[Poppy:]
Never gonna take it off
So don't touch me
Never gonna take it off
Stop looking at me

04. Meat

Parasitic intergalactic savages
Will land here in 2033
Heaven destroyed your planets before
The star force came to feed
I saw my brother devoured
A river of blood when it tore off his head
Of healthy organites, a system for harvesting human flesh

Plug me into the feeding machine
Ten in a pen pressed against me
Cut out my tongue so that I can't scream
There's meat, there's meat on me
Antibiotics keep me alive
Now that everyone I love has died
Hang me up and strip me clean
There's meat, there's meat on me

You've heard stories about the free ones
The few who escape the alien's grip
Living underground in star cities
In the deep and dark they resist
But I don't know if I believe it
When they caught me there weren't many left
They only force us to breed in here
I just hope they kill me quick

Plug me into the feeding machine
Ten in a pen pressed against me
Cut out my tongue so that I can't scream
There's meat, there's meat on me
Antibiotics keep me alive
Now that everyone I love has died
Hang me up and strip me clean
There's meat, there's meat on me

In light of the sick to maximize efficiency
Approach the back into our feed for optimal delivery
Right here in the slaughterhouse screams
Around the killing floor
And I hope to chase my adrenaline
Soak up my pus-filled sores

Plug me into the feeding machine
Ten in a pen pressed against me
Cut out my tongue so that I can't scream
There's meat, there's meat on me
Wrap me up in cellophane
Labeled "organic", label me grade A
My tendon is cut between your teeth
There's meat, there's meat on me

There's meat, there's meat on me
There's meat, there's meat on me
There's meat, there's meat on me
There's meat, there's meat on me

05. The Holy Mountain

When I met God
He looked me in the face and told me to wait
When I met God
He told me that the human race was wasting away again

He took my hand and showed the way
To his sacred place

It was the only time we got to climb the holy mountain
All the doors that opened led to the fountain
If you know the way that takes you to the mountain
Let yourself be blown away

So I said to God, "How do I change my ways?"
He laughed in my face
And I screamed at God, "How dare you put me in my place"
He started to pray for me

He took my hand and showed the way
To his sacred place

It was the only time we got to climb the holy mountain
All the doors that opened led to the fountain
If you know the way that takes you to the mountain
Let yourself be blown away
It was the only time we got to climb the holy mountain
All the doors that opened led to the fountain
If you know the way that takes you to the mountain
Let yourself be blown away
