when you’ve got me working i can’t breathe no more - overtime’s not for everyone
and you’re payin me shit, and i can’t afford to keep afloat on this caste you adore
my heart beats an SOS OM OM OM SOS - root to the core
my heart screams an SOS OM OM OM SOS
when my lungs cave i’ll get that reward
you are the apple
skin thin and battered
browned beat and bitter
what does it matter anymore (it doesn’t)
it goes deeper right to the core
well you’ve got metal rods rusting your brain
from the inside out you’re staying sane
your heart’s playing games and your mind has been maimed
now all the blood you could be bleeding bled
your heart beats an SOS OM OM OM SOS - root to the core
will scream for my SOS OM OM OM SOS
when my lungs cave there’ll be no reward
so chew that shit you’ve been dropping on me and my display case prophesies
yeah chew the rotted apples between your teeth
and under your tongue, lick your lips clean
our hearts beat an SOS OM OM OM SOS - together as one
we scream, we don’t need to be heard anymore
but when our lungs cave we’ll take that reward
take your damn apples, their complexity’s smashed
in this tree of series there always is an open door
just depends what you are looking for
