Lyrics

  Still can make out pieces with the opening sewed shut
  Yeah, parts of me are slowing down and time is speeding up
  Spiders crawling everywhere, infected Japanese
  You can tell all your friends you're just a tourist
  But you can't understand what they've planned until you try to leave
   
  Feels like I've been here before
  Yeah, I don't know anymore
  And I don't care anymore
  Feels like I've been here before
   
  Cold and black and infinite with nothing left to lose
  If you try to keep the flies away, the makeup hides the bruise
  Her branches are the bones that break, become a perfect line
  And no, he won't be just a man who's Sometimes
   
  He won't be just a man who's Sometimes
  
  Feels like I've been here before
  Yeah, I don't know anymore
  And I don't care anyway
  I think I recognize
   
  Yes, I have been here before
  Yeah, I don't care anymore
  Don't give a fuck anymore
  Yeah, I don't care

The following line appears in digital mp3 tags, but not sung, after "cold and black and infinite...":

  glassy bending flexible

As well as the following, after "try to keep the flies away...":

  why are you here right now? i don't think you're supposed to be reading this

Additional lyrics embedded in some versions of the EP, but not appearing in the song itself:

   one way or another but the way things have a way 
   finding order almost everything of you
   
   yes i have been here before
   yes i guess thought i was
   
   my proven false in false in one
   all of you but the way actual events a way of finding mattered
   what i thought of finding order almost of you
   i guess have a way of comfort in the past events
   but the way like I’ve been here the past not the but the way
   i of myself has proven before allowing myself to almost everything i thought events
   but the way sense of comfort in what i thought
   i have a way of actual events but
   the mattered what i thought the actual events
   but the actual events but been here before allowing of myself

Descrambled, these lyrics form the below coherent text:

  feels like i've been here before
  yes, i have been here before 
  allowing myself to feel a sense of comfort in the past
  not the actual events but the way i choose to remember them and you
  i guess things have a way of finding order 
  almost everything i thought mattered 
  my definition of myself
  what i thought of you
  has proven false 
  in one way or another 
  please 
  all of you
  go away from here
  please
