lyrics

this is a pentacle. interesting thing about this pentacle is it’s an upright pentacle. let me see, it’s..oh it’s actually fairly fresh. this is how gangs talk to each other
*laughter*
ok but see this is how occultists talk to each other
*gasps*
this here is a psilocybin mushroom.
(yea, yea)
so probably, uhh..they had a psilocybin ritual.
(mmm)
*oooooh*

inkline
uhh idiosyncratically crafting another masterpiece / duck and dodging demons that always seem to be after me / bob and weave off the tree bon appétit /
always twice as hungry as what you’re probably imagining / yea (yea) yea Wanda with the Mind Stone / this that kinda power you cowards can’t put price on / i’ll dissolve it all and call it a day go right home / snakes in your head
bite the apple off your iphone / i’m known to dabble do my damage on the mic-phone / i do a dab then do some magick in the right zone / death is but a transition when the light’s blown / dealing with the in-between ‘till the poltergeist gone / no-show ghosts under the stairs / no one cares either under-prepared or don’t go there / boil bones
charge stones and make homes there /
you cross the goat and get turned into a toad there

hook
back from the dead again
roll away the stone
maybe find my head again
if i only make it home
nothing’s ever simple
but you know when in Rome
at the candlelight vigil
got a sigil made of bones
back from the dead again
roll away the stone (roll away the stone)
maybe find my head again
if i only make it home (if i only make it home)
nothing’s ever simple
but you know when in Rome
at the candlelight vigil
got a sigil made of bones

daytripper
boy you fucking with shamans / i’m unalike unapologetic uncommon / transmutation circles drawn under my alter / i’m one with the true laws laws of man make falter / this my rock of gibraltar my burning bush / moses was burning kush / they saw the knowledge sprawl and they started burning books / but the true and living had it all memorized / so we energize rise over the wicked enterprise synergy / tablets of signature stamped with my sigil / make a demon look so miniature / remember the mirror everything’s all a reflection / look at yourself if they treating you less than / invest in time and resource to each course / walk the path a straight line with no detour to keep your sanity / they gon claim you insane because all of their vanity / can’t explain spiritual planes we remain…

hook
back from the dead again
roll away the stone (roll away the stone)
maybe find my head again
if i only make it home (only make it home)
nothing’s ever simple
but you know when in Rome
at the candlelight vigil
got a sigil made of bones
back from the dead again
roll away the stone (roll away the stone)
maybe find my head again
if i only make it home (only make it home)
nothing’s ever simple
but you know when in Rome
at the candlelight vigil
got a sigil made of bones yea

“the very language of magic seems to be talking as much about writing or art as it is about supernatural events. the grimoire for example, the book of spells, is simply a fancy way of saying grammar”

“in attempt to impress upon the public with the case of artificial insanity that the mentally ill is not inhabited by the devil”

fathom
I’m becoming what I summon/
rooted in the underground live from the dungeon/ craft the blueprint making something out of nothing/ hit the kitchen whipping cooking up visions in a caldron.

merging with the elements I show you how do it/ purging testiments on the page that turn lucid/ my grammar is a grimoire I spell cast the music/ you exist as a memoir testing the undisputed.

black magick with Black Sabbath/ the black atlas balancing actions on its axis/you all smokin and mirrors I’m smoking on that cabbage/ so you can’t tell me shit when my shit is telepathic.

converging poltergeist light traversing through the tv/ merging with the static ghost writing with a Ouija/ source of sorcery sorting rhetoric of the mystics/ to rearrange dimensions like dr strange and shift it

“and i believe that this is why an artist or writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world that you are likely to seek to a shaman.”
