MAN IN THE CASTLE

[Chorus: Gao the Arsonist]
Yuh, feel the gaps in the walls
Always been the man in the castle
Hallways splinter out like the cracks grow, fuck
Dawn is for sleep, nocturnal
Repeating patterns like fractals
Body shrink, collapse into black hole
Those without sin all live in the same glass house
Turn my back just to cast stones

[Post-Chorus: Gao the Arsonist]
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck
I'm at your— (Huh)
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck and it's warm
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck
I'm at your— (Huh)
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck

[Verse 1: NotNevi]
I'm at her neck, I bite down
I need her energy like right now
I know he don't bite, but he bark loud
That boy cap, he Kung Lao (Huh)
Uh, but that Kombat don't concern me
I got used to all the fighting, so I'm never acting worried, huh
Uh-huh, I just stay up in the crib
Never leave
Roll me up some tree
Never leave
(What, what, what)
Never leave
(What, what, what)
Never leave
(What, what, what)
Never leave
(What, what, what)
Never l—

[Chorus: Gao the Arsonist]
Yuh, feel the gaps in the walls
Always been the man in the castle
Hallways splinter out like the cracks grow, fuck
Dawn is for sleep, nocturnal
Repeating patterns like fractals
Body shrink, collapse into black hole
Those without sin all live in the same glass house
Turn my back just to cast stones

[Post-Chorus: Gao the Arsonist]
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck
I'm at your— (Huh)
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck and it's warm
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck
I'm at your— (Huh)
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck

[Verse 2: NotNevi]
Catch my stride and pack my pride
I picked it off the floor
Enjoyment turned to torment
Turned to wishing there was more
I liked it 'till I monetized
Desire flipped to chore
I cried, my worth was tied in acts
That's masked the shit I stored

[Verse 3: Gao the Arsonist]
Canine in your vein, I'll drain it if you show your face (Show your face)
Daylight blisters skin, they'll stay white, bitch, just know your place (Don't come near)
You'll die like dynasties that've formed and fallen since I closed the gate
I folded space to keep my distance
Now I see the stone decay (Huh)
The door is hanging off the hinges
Step through and branding crucifix
I vanish like syringes (I'm at your neck)
My view from castle roof is fixed
My vantage point is frigid
Don't act like we are— (Huh)
Don't act like we are kindred (Huh)

[Verse 4: Gao the Arsonist & NotNevi]
You're not my missing link
We linking, something's missing still
I only leave to feed now
It's not something you can bleed out of me, ho
Gimme the kitchen sink, I'm sinking in the kitchen still
Under my skin's been itching for others
Relinquish my governance
Reach outta this hole, huh

[Chorus: Gao the Arsonist]
Yuh, feel the gaps in the walls
Always been the man in the castle
Hallways splinter out like the cracks grow, fuck
Dawn is for sleep, nocturnal
Repeating patterns like fractals
Body shrink, collapse into black hole
Those without sin all live in the same glass house
Turn my back just to cast stones

[Post-Chorus: Gao the Arsonist & NotNevi]
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck
I'm at your— (Huh)
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck and it's warm
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck
I'm at your— (Huh)
I'm at your neck
I'm at your neck
