about

An experimental track in 33/8 time, titled because I think I developed one singing it.

lyrics

Is it even possible to start what one finished
I'm in it to win it and I won't take "sin" for an answer
I'm flattered, but shattered, for it won't even matter
If you mistake me for one not a man, sir
You wouldn't be the first
The hate, it is baited, elated, and rated
A Pitchfork score of something with a decimal point
Shaken and baked and then cut with a rake to the face
And then blessèd with severed ligaments and joints
Preparing for the worst
Can you feel it coming
Can you see it going
Its fangs it is baring
Its claws it is showing
The beast is loose in town
Carry a smile with you always
It won't target those with one
If you start to panic
If you're anything but calm
Consider your life done
The blood in your body is drained as the rain falls
You're frantically searching for incisions or cuts
There isn't a single wound on your body
There isn't an orifice that surgery can shut
You're screaming for your life
You hear a growling coming under the earth's crust
The hounds of hell are barking cause they're having a feast
And all of your emotion fades quickly from your face
As you realize that you're the table's centerpiece
Run home and tell your wife
Can you feel it coming
Can you see it going
Its fangs it is baring
Its claws it is showing
The beast is loose in town
Carry a smile with you always
It won't target those with one
If you start to panic
If you're anything but calm
Consider your life done
The beast is loose in town
Carry a smile with you always
It won't target those with one
If you start to panic
If you're anything but calm
Consider your life done
