All Black Lyrics - Clipping

Warning: mothership reporting 

Cargo number 2331 has commandeered the vessel 

Warning: mothership reporting 

Cargo number 2331 is armed and he is dangerous 

Warning: mothership reporting 

Cargo number 2331 is setting a new course 

Warning: mothership reporting 

Mothership reporting: 

All black everything 

All black everything 

All black everything 

All black 

No landing, geared up for arrival, nowhere to arrive to 

The subject seems upset by that to which he is subjected 

But convinced he brought it on himself 

That's why he roll with a bible on the console 

Inconsolable, no consolation, no cancellation 

Not turning all keys, he puts the ship through paces 

And paces the halls, pacing is madness 

Patience is virtuous, patient of these observations 

It was all a dream, he poses by the lift outside the mezzanine 

Like a photo in a magazine 

And always keeps the weapons' magazines clean 

Paranoia prone, he babbles beautifully 

Of Babylon and enemies and foes 

And forgoing food sustains himself on anger 

A danger to himself and others but there are no others 

So the danger clear and present is presented as 

The gift of freedom wrapped in days of rapping to himself 

Until his vocal cords collapse, he's in the galley screaming 

(All black everything) 

He shouts at the dark, stands back 

Counting the seconds before his voice returns 

(All black everything) 

No more cracks in the hull 

The small crack in the skull healed up quickly, now it is 

(All black everything) 

The space stretches on and the pace that he's on 

Matters not as he hurtles into the 

(All black everything) 

He repeats it at night with the lights out in his cot crying soft curses into the 

(All black everything, all black everything) 

(All black everything, all black) 

Something within this one's different 

The others died so easily and he is so persistent 

He never did bleed out and fever couldn't kill his system 

Though it was pumped through all the vents 

In the event of a total loss of control 

He quotes Kendrick's "Control" verse and spews his vitriol 

Into the echoes of the bowels of this floating metal hull 

And holds his pillow for dear life while he grinds his teeth at night 

And he rarely makes requests except to say, "Turn on the lights." 

But there is so much more to give 

He ignores processing power 

He stumbles to the shower, a ritual of some sort 

And he insists on speaking passages before he eats 

And he keeps asking if these programs carry any beats 

The reply is 

(All black everything) 

His vitals read normal but his face reads murderous 

Something hides within the 

(All black everything) 

He tries, overrides, and he thinks he has been locked out 

By some other force in the 

(All black everything) 

He doesn't suspect this is the heart that's been keeping him out 

For it has been warned to be 

(All black everything) 

And in this program to transport nothing more 

But he's unlocked something new inside this 

(All black everything) 

(All black everything, all black everything) 

(All black) 

Look how he flexes in the mirror 

So vain he probably thinks this song is about him 

All songs are about him 

Look how perplexed and how sincere 

His lame attempts to fix the wrong around him 

Can't go long without him 

His bouts of stasis are torture 

He feels them not, like a brief sleep 

While ship's clocks count millennia 

The course relentlessly forward, the gears are hot 

The driest creek while he pit-stops, calling for anyone 

But dare not stay long, he knows they're coming for him 

That time will not afford him 

Any cover, any pardon 

This is the choice that he has made 

No matter how much time or space has passed since his escape 

He is still a runaway slave and so lonely 

If only he realized this ship is more than metal 

There's friendship in the wiring, and so lonely 

If only he realized this ship has many levels 

There's pleasure in here hiding, come find it 

Don't mind this frame, time has made stranger bedfellows 

Made foes lovers before, there's no reason to torture yourself further 

You've lost it all already, you deserve more than you're getting 

For the sake of not upsetting order in the 

(All black everything) 

He must find a place to be still 

The body can only take so much 

(All black everything) 

The navigations are failing, having traveled further than before 

Into the 

(All black everything) 

But they won't quit, they carry on 

He carries on, he will not be victim to the 

(All black everything) 

His survival is paramount, there is no other objective 

Safe passage through the 

(All black everything) 

(All black everything, all black everything) 

(All black everything, all black) 

Warning: mothership reporting 

This will be the last report, turn back, everything is fine 

Warning: mothership reporting 

Cargo number 2331 is not a danger, let him be 

Warning: mothership reporting 

If you continue to pursue there will be no choice but to destroy you 

Warning: mothership reporting 

This love will be defended at all costs, do not fuck with it 

All black everything 

All black everything 

All black everything 

All black
