"The Slow Parts On Death Metal Albums" lyrics

"The Slow Parts On Death Metal Albums"

Jumping out of my skin
This tiny sector can't contain me
Soon up in a flash
Slipping symbols bravely brightening
Go out, I'm not wanted
Stand where the light hits hard
Almost full-grown
Drive home alone and listen to the slow parts

In a new universe
Tryna find the mask that fits me
Shaking the curse
Behaving as the beacons fit me
Denim and leather
Silver strapped to please the die-hards
Let me dance till I die
Turn the volume up high and listen to the slow parts

Alien ships from ancient realms (ships from ancient realms)
Ageless captains at their hands (captains at their hands)
Rage from the sea
Let it begin within

Half-life of my toxins
Difficult to calculate
Stock up on gauze in case of accidents
Try to keep my story straight
Dozens like me
Never quite free, filling out our dance courts
Mark my time on the wall
Answer the call and listen to the slow heart
