[Verse 1: Gao the Arsonist]
Uh, mold man from the clay I gave him breath (Gave him breath)
Programmed to obey evading death (Death)
Natural state was naked and ashamed
Ego mutated, soon they satiated all encoded hate with blades in flesh (Flesh)
I walked among the subjects then I wept (I wept)
Human software was corrupted when I slept (Slept)
Run a system diagnostic, veins were splitting like the faucet bursts when frigid
Turned man upright to pay my debt

[Pre-Chorus: sal with Gao the Arsonist]
You could be so much more (More) (Upgrade, upgrade, plastic, wires, cut face)
You could be so much more (More) (Chosen by the hand of our God-given walls, pain)
You could be so much more (More) ([?])
You could be— (Upgrade, upgrade, plastic, wires, cut face)
You could be— (Chosen by the hand of our God-given walls, pain)

[Bridge]
(What happened?) (Ehh, arson) (Fire!)

[Verse 1: Gao the Arsonist]
Uh, mold man from the clay I gave him breath (Gave him breath)
Programmed to obey evading death (Death)
Natural state was naked and ashamed
Ego mutated, soon they satiated all encoded hate with blades in flesh (Flesh)
I walked among the subjects then I wept (I wept)
Human software was corrupted when I slept (Slept)
Run a system diagnostic, veins were splitting like the faucet bursts when frigid
Turned man upright to pay my debt (Debt)
[Hook: Gao the Arsonist]
Cradle of civilization built with the data stole from the gods
Frostbitten fingers clamped round the throats of their neighbors, frozen to thawed
Twisted warmth into war
Pandora was framed, I opened the box
Now the birds pick at my organs
The risk was in vain, they're devoted to loss
Pitied abominations robbed the pantheon for what?
Should never have formed the creation of my hands beyond the dust
Made darkness outta blue light
They’re breaking axioms and trust
They were savages in shadows
Now they're savages with lux

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2: NotNevi & Gao the Arsonist]
T-t-tapping turned attacking, tell me who hurts when it ends
T-t-tapping turned to terror called it in by our own hands
C-c-can't control the cadence of the count to our descent
C-c-can't control my life so I don't care ‘bout when it ends
Should have known there'd be death when the stone first connected the with the skull like it's a network
Try drying off the money from the wetwork
Blood and ink is running from your dress shirt, huh
Half our idols beyond sinister
We destroyed the land when we were merely but a visitor
They followed the man, exploitation plagues the villages
Our creations pillage, kill, deplete and then we leave the earth
[Hook: Gao the Arsonist]
Cradle of civilization built with the data stole from the gods
Frostbitten fingers clamped round the throats of their neighbors, frozen to thawed
Twisted warmth into war
Pandora was framed, I opened the box
Now the birds pick at my organs
The risk was in vain, they're devoted to loss
Pitied abominations robbed the pantheon for what?
Should never have formed the creation of my hands beyond the dust
Made darkness outta blue light
They’re breaking axioms and trust
They were savages in shadows
Now they're savages with lux

[Outro: sal with Gao the Arsonist]
You could be so much more (More) (Upgrade, upgrade, plastic, wires, cut face)
You could be so much more (More) (Chosen by the hand of our God-given walls, pain)
You could be so much more (More) ([?])
You could be— (Upgrade, upgrade, plastic, wires, cut face) (The internet gave us a new world of exciting new possibilities)
You could be— (So, I guess, this is the story of how it changed their lives)
