lyrics

absorb the host with mild regrets
to end the life which tastes the best
absorb the host, that’s what I’m saying
leave nothing left, you are obeying

take it to dinner, be not ungrateful
you are both hungry, this is survival
absorb the host and say you’ve won
freedom from food it can be done

absorb the host and meet the eyes
a nest of worms is no surprise
precious thoughts are precious food
we’re in the table, we’re in the mood

absorb the host with bloody rupture
a mouth that eats produces scripture
absorb the host like you were born to
assume the mantle, I’m taking notes

absorb the host, he will not stop you
the written word destroys your thinking
absorb the host, freedom commands you
the facts are nothing, become your own food

confuse a substrate for your own surface
chew your way through it, you could just trust me
I’m going to help you eat your own dinner
pay no attention to your own senses

before I curse it, before I’m cursed
I’m going to eat it, tell me what’s worse
absorb the host and all its powers
I’ll grow a new one, give me an hour

absorb the host, absorb the host
absorb the host, absorb the host
absorb the host

I saw these guys perform tracks from/related to this record at the Hirschhorn museum and it was one of the most entertaining things I’ve ever experienced. What a fun record. petnoodle
