Lyrics

Rag weed tall better hope that his ladder dont crack
Or hell hit the ground low, hard and under his back
At the battle at the bottom of the ocean, where the dead
Do rise
You need proof I got proof at the surface you can watch
Em float by
Way in back of the room, there sits a cage
Inside its a clock that you can win if you can guess its age
Which you never can do cuz the time it constantly changes
For lack or luck
I guess that is the saying
On the first page of the book of blue it read
"If you read this page, than that'll be your death"
By then it was too late
And you wound up on an island of shells and bones that
Bodies had left
And the one thing you taught me
Bout human beings was this
They ain't made of nothin but water and shit
