Blackhead

[Verse 1]
I'll be there waiting
With the hook in your neck as the contact you've made
Deficient

[Refrain 1]
And your hand will break
If you touch this fence
Please them 'til they're blind with cleft lens

[Interlude]
What have you brought for my appetite?
What have you brought for my appetite?

[Verse 2]
I'll never perish
With the albino horns of a thousand young born
Will you drink from the depths of my sea?
[Refrain 1]
And your hand will break
If you touch this fence
Please them till they're blind with cleft lens

[Interlude]
What have you brought for my appetite?
What have you brought for my appetite?

[Verse 3]
I might not make it back again
The vervain is on the rise
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
Got to open wide
Got to open wide

Might of a serpent swallowing tail
Cycle recycled and I'm next to nothing
I said

[Refrain 2]
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
[Verse 4]
Place your ring finger on this debt
Am I living or am I dead?
Do what thou wilt, tell them what I've found
The steps of a ladder from a diamondback's mouth
I said

[Refrain 2]
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive

[Outro]
I ain't gonna hold my breath
I ain't gonna hold my breath
