And these clicks at two hundred a second Fuse into a sort of a buzz And that has come to be called a Feeding Buzz Oh yeah Oh Recoil Then release Spine to snap And bounce back With elastic shudder (x4) It's still in there! And we don't really know how their brains can do that Make that kind of discrimination It's an intriguing mystery Recoil Then release Spine to snap And bounce back With elastic shudder (x4)

Through soil Soil and sap and sap and soil A transmission Aphids break a dormant state No contrition Hyperbolic tale of rep-rep-li-cation Gene separation Single colour lock is broken (x4) Release the flames A fluctuation Of ruptured pigment Bars and stripes A feathered farewell Delights the eye Billowed upwards Petals die (x2) A puncture Bendy bones bite down And pump through the surface Sleeping cells wake up deep down under membranes Attachment, entry, infiltration, release Unleash the beast!

Same 4 Walls 02:36
It’s race to the bottom And no one gives a flying fuck We’re stuck in a traffic jam Where greedy grabbers run amok Same 4 walls Nice thin slices please, vacuumed packed A lovely yellow logo with instructions on the back Nice n juicy please, plastic trapped My body is a bloatin, pull it out already wrapped Same 4 walls is a challenge for me Same 4 walls is a challenge for you (x2) Week on week Mouth on mouth Pink fleshy noise Reverberating through my house Same 4 walls Nice crispy nuggets please, on my plate Inject it with the poison, asymmetric wings inflates Nice n spicy please, that’d be great It says its oven ready mate, just don’t forget the sell by date Same 4 walls Same 4 walls is a challenge for me Same 4 walls is a challenge for you (x4) Same 4 walls (x2) Just don't forget the sell by date

Buy it, sell it, make it, ship it Three cheers for the P.P.E. Wear it, wash it, use it, bin it

A tiny bit of bad news wrapped in protein Standing at the podium of doom Reading out a script you never wrote Empty echos through the room Control the tune Control and groom A timely wake-up call for everyone Passive agent with no goal Consuming all the best bits rather slowly Do you really have a beneficial role? Control the tune Control and groom Variola, Ebola, Mokola, Puumala Rubella, Sapporo, Toscana, Corona When is this over? When will this be over? See me for the first time? Will I see you for the first time? Will this scare you? How much will this scare me? Will they pay me? How much will they pay you? Does this heal me? How much does this heal you? Can I forget you? Can you forget me? Will I hear you sing again? Will you hear me sing again? When will I hear you sing again? (rpt) Control the tune Control and groom

Bite down (x4) From the shock of contact A cobra bites down Poison Takers (x8) Pearlescent daggers sharp Bite down Have you no venom? Poison Takers (x4) And there’s something so good About feeling so numb A dead dead beat From the drum Downstream down Where it seeps in slowly A silent scream From the…. Poison Takers (x16)
