Autocannibalism Lyrics

When that rent due

When that rent due

Snake bite the tail when the rent due

Don't understand my place in this; I don't pretend to

But play my mission and keep my symbolism simplistic

so I'm not consumed by what I'm missing

I'm not losing sleep, now I don't sleep

Beyond the veil, I'm up off my feet

Plugged in's a poor metaphor for a fearful rant

I'm test subject bleeding from the implant

Your children did not reject, they broke mortality

If you disconnect them, you raise amputees

I need my art, I need you for my poetry

If we're playing it reductive, can you see me?

I see myself in that reflection and I want to take a bite

And I want to take a bite

I see myself in that reflection and I want to take a bite

And I want to take a bite

Well I make art wrong; I don't speak plain

Post irony and narcissism in my veins

Reduce on the simmer cooked on the spark

My blood thickens, clogging the heart

Rigor mortis sets in, scabs see opportunity

Lick lips, buy the dip of rising poverty

See how they go when we disconnect the host

Take their first breath on their own, only to choke

We'll leave in the dust the reductive and apathetic

But first, bust rhetoric that greed's in our genetics

I'm sick of this shit, man we made it all up

Fuck waiting to speak, man, interrupt

Alright now, I'm on, I'm on

And when the lights go out, I'm gone, I'm gone

But they never go out, reflected in my eyes

And if they do, I know it's the end of this life

I'm about to never forget

Be everywhere, see everything, take in the view

There's no way back as we pay our debts

Snake bite the tail when the rent due
