Lyrics

I stand firm for our soil
Lick a rock on foil
Say reduce me, seduce me
Dress me up as tootsie [in stussey]
Hell is round the corner where I shelter
Ism's and schisms, we're living helter skelter [been livin' on a study]
If you believe and deceive common sense says shouldn't receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference?
No need to answer till I take furthur evidence
I seem to need a reference to get residence
A reference to your preference to say
I'm a good neighbor, I trudge
So judge me for labour
Live version of the song. the bond on me ensures [lobotomy] my good
Behavior
The constant strum insures my insanity
Passing the ignorance ensures the struggle for my family
We're hungry beware of our appetite
Distant drums bring the news of a kill tonight
The kill which I share with my passengers
We take our fill, take our fill, take our fill

[Repeat first four lines]

Confused by different memories
Details of asian remedies
Conversations, of what's become of enemies
My brain thinks bomb-like
So I listen he's a calm type
And as I grow, I grow collective
Before the move sit on the perspective
Mr. quaye [mr. kray] lay in the crevice. [distant cradle in the crevice]
And watches from the precipice
Empirial passage
Heat from the sun somedays slowly passes
Until then, you have to live with yourself (x2)
