lyrics

Your guts and your lungs and your veins and your brain and your liver and your innards
All of them inside you, I'm not even beside you
Your guts and your lungs and your veins and your brain and your liver and your innards
I wanna make em all my neighbors
Set up shop at the base of your skull and stay forever

This sunny earth
Living on it's chunky crust
Dealing with this clumsy lust
Inhaling skin dust, soulless
It's not for me
I'm too cynical, I manage but I'm
Focusing on fuckups like a red light camera
Snapshot, store it, ready to deploy it
Pick a fight with me then I use it to destroy you
I got a mainframe full, the wrinkles in my brain
Where happy birthdays and sunshine should play
I'm sick of my own insides
Innards stuck together pulsing red on borrowed time
Repulsed by the greens and the blues of the outside
Convulsing in the dark, revolting at the sky's light
Fitting to pick up and move to new domain
Your shell would do nicely, you're looking beautiful today

Your guts and your lungs and your veins and your brain and your liver and your innards
All of them inside you, I'm not even beside you
Your guts and your lungs and your veins and your brain and your liver and your innards
I wanna make em all my neighbors
Set up shop at the base of your skull and stay forever

All the gloop and the glop don't bother me
Nor does the lack of a modern economy
I'll get along great with your white blood cells
We'll barter and we'll trade, oh the stories they'd tell
Of the battles they've fought, both won and lost
Oh the gory details, it's my favorite part
Where the rivers run red and your lungs run black
I'll ride alongside the cold shivers down your back
Mass transit, straight shot to the bottom of the spine
Where I'll mine for cancer cells and expell em so you're fine
Not a tenant of your body, I'll be homeland security
From marrow to dermis I'm ensuring its purity
Gotta protect my home to the very last tooth
Cause the only thing I know is that your innards are the truth

Your guts and your lungs and your veins and your brain and your liver and your innards
All of them inside you, I'm not even beside you
Your guts and your lungs and your veins and your brain and your liver and your innards
I wanna make em all my neighbors
Set up shop at the base of your skull and stay forever
Yeah your heart and your soul and your cells and your bones and your kidneys and your innards
already an empty husk
Deep inside I'll know no difference from dawn and the dusk

Inside the blood flow
I'll be reaping what I sew
I'll be keeping seeds growing
All along your bone structure
Closing ruptures, cutting through clotted lung growths
Gunning for the threats and running the whole rotten show
Cause you can't blow my house down if your bones are the doors
You can't pull the rug out if your gore is the floors
You can't tear my world apart if your skin is the shores
And you can't rip my heart out if I'm living in yours
