lyrics

IN YOUR MOMENT OF PLEASURE...
IN YOUR NEW TIME OF GREED...
YOU MUST WATCH FOR THE DECEPTION
CAUSE IN YOUR FIELDS THEY WILL BREED.
WATCH THE CROPS ON GROWIN HIGHER
DONE PUT IN WORK INTO THE SOIL
DIRT UNDERNEATH YOUR FINGERNAILS...
AND NOW IT'S TIME TO TOIL
THEY'RE SWARMING IN!

FROM A SEED TO-EACH
SUNSET-OUTSIDE
WITH THE DAYS OF TIME
I SEE THE PRIDE RESIDE
STEADY STACKIN AS IM MACKIN
TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN
THERE-DOWN-DEEP-YA
IT’S-TIME TO LEARN.
INSIDE THE FIELDS OF MY WICKED DAYS
LIES AN ENEMY A PLAGUE OF THE
EVIL WAYS
JUST SOME SMALL THING
BUT IT GETS THE CREW
RETURN LIKE AN ARMY AND DESTROY
ALL OF YOU
DESTROY ALL OF ME
UNLESS I BRING GUARD
AND THE FIGHT IS HARD
MAINTAIN THE YARD
KEEPING DEAD THINGS CHARRED
BURNING ALL THAT’S IN THE WAY
SEEIN MY FOES AND GOES ALL WAYS
RIGHT THERE DOWN DEEP
AT THE BASE
AT THE ROOT
WHAT YOU SEW YOU REAP.
SOME SMALL THING
LEAVE IT THERE UNCHECKED
IT MULTIPLIES-RETURNS
LEAVES EVERYTHING WRECKED!

WHEN YOU'RE...
FEELING THE SEASON...
WHEN YOUR SUMMER WIND BLOWS THROUGH
SMILE AT YOUR HARVEST BUT REMEMBER
THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS WATCHING TOO
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE MOMENT
NO YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE HOUR
JUST WHEN YOU DROP YOUR GUARD
THEY'LL STRIKE-
SO SLEEP NAIVE AND THEY'LL DEVOUR...
THEY'RE SWARMING IN!

APETITE NEVERENDING
WATCH THEM FEAST
ONE-BY-ONE
TAKE IT PIECE BY PIECE
HUNGER NEVER ENDS BUT IT
ALL DEPENDS
ON THE WAY WE CHOOSE
CUZ CAUTION DEFENDS
BUILD BAD HABITS AND A
STUBBORN MIND
IF YOU CALL BACK THE THINGS
YOU HAD LEFT BEHIND
(THEN IT) FLIES ON IN (AND)
STARTS TO UNWIND
IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME
…SAID A MATTER OF TIME.
