lyrics

Serpent tongues sliding through bone-bleached teeth
Luciferous lies poisoning the air we breathe
Narcotics laced with our mother’s milk
So we root for ruin and verticillium wilt

This is a landslide now, being swallowed whole
Buried and buzzed
Aluminum breath at the end of the world
Men wearing masks, men wearing gloves

Chorus
It’s a web // It’s a trap // there’s a catch // They’re listening they can hear you
It’s a web // It’s a trap // there’s a catch // Like birds on a wire-tapped

I got restless legs – been kicking in my sleep
I’m having dragon dreams – with spiders on my feet
Dystopian men talk with tomahawk tongues
They gotta walk their walk, gonna their drums

Men with guns surround the feeder at dusk
Camouflaged, concealed by the brush
They’re coming with needles for knives
There’s blood in the sand, stinging our eyes

Chorus

Outro
I don’t care what you say, they’re watching our every move
Drones in every window, patrolling the skies
And the words they speak sound so sweet
But don’t believe ‘em … they’re all liars
