Eatyourburger I don't listen to punk much, but that doesn’t stop me from constantly replaying this. Favorite track: Smashed (捕まらな).

This is my hole. Watch how perfectly I fit in. See how everything around me disappears. In my hole, I am slowly inching forward Feels like I've been waiting so long to begin. To wrench, to stretch, to twist, to bend and what went in at the start is not what comes out at the end. This is my hole. And in my hole, none of your voices reach my ears. Just the soft, slow scrape of skin on stone. In my hole, made just for me, I am utterly and joyously alone No one can know the ending of the story that's taking shape today. But when I squint into the darkness Reaching out before me I can see the future slowly coming this way To wrench, to stretch, to twist, to bend and what went in at the start is not what comes out at the end. Oh, I wrenched and I stretched Yeah, I twisted and I bent and what you understood to be me won't be seen around here again. This is my hole.

We can have it if we don't get caught We can have it if we don't get caught We can have it if we don't get found out We could eat like queens. We could taste the sweet blood of the gods of this world. We could suck the very marrow from the bones of the universe. Just don't get found out. You could have it if you don't get caught You could have it if you don't get caught This world is yours if you keep your voice down. There are things upon this Earth too big to comprehend and they could be our food if you don't get found out All the splendor of this garden of delight awaits you,  if you can keep your mouth shut. There's a rich feast set here for us to devour, but for God's sake, don't get found out. You'll take what's yours and I'll take what's mine as long as you know it's only, it's only, it's only a matter of time You could have it if you don't get caught It's only a matter of time

Did you think this was your story? Well, Let me clear a few things up. There's one protagonist and if you're not sure It's who you cant take your eyes from. Were you after something beautiful? Let me help you comprehend. Grotesque is a near-rhyme a straighter line to the same bad end. All eyes on me, all eyes on me Make your jokes, Bite your nails I'm not here to make friends (all eyes on me) I have lurked just out of frame too long. I won't be pushed back again. I am singular. I am a rare thing I am under the surface under the skin I am coming out I am cutting in I am breaking the surface breaking the skin All eyes on me Oh, what a sight! What a sight to see! What a last sight to see!

Oh, what joy to be truly known! Oh, what joy to be never alone! Say goodbye to the unobserved life.  The world is a stage and the city is a stage and the streets are a stage and the sidewalks are a stage. The stage is a stage and the wings are a stage and the seats are a stage and the aisles are a stage. Your house is a stage and your bedroom is a stage and your dreams are a stage  where you will stand unashamed You will stand unashamed under their loving gaze Stand, unashamed. Shed your skin, speak your name. All eyes on you.

You were knocking at your window, but you are under your desk. Come out. We saw your face in the bright spring air, but you havent seen the sun in weeks Oh, come out How can you keep yourself apart like this? Don't you know you shouldn't be kept apart like this? Come out, Come out. There is so much to show you from up here. And the world is so much stranger The world is so much stranger than your worst fears. There's no place like hull crush depth, gazing out through a window of skin. Dive in. Here are sights that have never been seen, all tentacles and spines and fins Oh, dive in. You know it takes a long time to digest. You'll have all the time that you need to digest it. You'll have all the time in the world. We've got all the time in the world. Dive in, dive in There is so much to show you down here. And the world is so much stranger The world is so much stranger than your worst fears. There are things that you'll never understand if you keep your feet on dry land. The world is so much stranger than your worst fears.
