lyrics

Meanwhile a thousand leagues
below a volcano, I erupt.
Another wicked scheme to steal your love.

My mutant, manic laughter
My twisted brain the soil that curls my hair.
My rubix cube expression stings the air.
It's me the master villain
You the diamond I can't bear to let go...

I may not have the molded maw of a superhero
Or the ruling hand of Constantine.
But maybe I just can't help the way I feel I'll get you one toe at a time.

Repeal the laws of motion
Let Newton's spinning grave propel turbines
that inhale gravity and exhale tides.

My pixels induce such TERROR!
as every living lung expels my name.
But I want not obedience or fame.
I just want to be loved
and loved by you, my ransom, lose this game...

I may not have the molded maw of a superhero
Or the ruling hand of Constantine
But maybe I just can't help the way I feel i'll get you one toe at a time.

The birds all sing their guts out as we fly,
On petr-dish farmed Griffins through the sky

Oh I
I'm part spider part fly
I set the traps, then get caught.
My minions every day, invent machines to kill
but that's because its too hard to make ones that love.
All of this forever floats your way...

My serenade is a tidal wave of poisoned parasite words that will steal your mind.
Your white blood cells are the first to hug me
I'll get you one toe at a time.
