lyrics

Think Tank
Regurgitate a trained Wave
Transmit my taste and
Hang chains in empty headspace
Spit mouthfuls of talk on a plate
Wear this costume, turn into you
Swelling in a shell with a static view
Relate to a gate, keep flesh in a frame
Fiddle with my fester wound
Expecting a cake
Preprogram a plague
A filter to
A fade

Can you plug a person in
Fit a chord inside some skin
To feel a connection with
This prepaid oxygen
Passing in the pits
Doing future flips
Axis blunt as ownership
Cast a hook
Reeling in
Looking looking looking
Through my lens
For a grip
Glimpse a glitch
Synching lips
With sightless eyes
Inherit lies
a prized disguise

Its a trained wave
A prepaid x ray
My default domain
Tame tame tame as my shame
Fluid as flake
Fluently afraid I
Transmit Static
Like maggots in traffic
Gravitating to a magnet
Passive panic frantic exits
Waiting on a casket

So can you plug a person in
Fit a chord inside some skin
To feel a connection with this
Prepaid oxygen
Just passing in the pits
Somersaulting future flips

Crawling out
A crack again
Synching lips
And nodding heads
Giving in to
Blow a kiss
