The Host

(Sister, please...this way...do you love me?)
Excuse me somebody’s in here
Hello?
What happened next is a mystery to me

[The R.O.C.]
So sadistic, she really is the business
Behavioural issues from her childhood can't fix it
I might just risk this very life of mine
Impressionistic of womanly losing
Why’s my mind so blind?
Sever all my friendly ties as we ride the night the night sky
Searching aimlessly all through the plains to be one of a kind
Undermine never why, she's the might in my spine
She's the light in my darkness on the other side unwind
As I tell you people why, with the love that's in my eyes
Could never tell her lies no she saved my life as she's mine and I’m hers
So many words to describe the times she’s saved the worst
For all the assholes that treat me like a jerk
They never understood my work
But she knew from day one, kept me on the right track
With the body so fun call her my honey bun
Yes she’s frightening to most
Keep her warm like my toast
Or her name is the host

[Chorus]
I'm ghost
My love, the host
I'm ghost
(Do you love me?)
My love, the host

[Jamie Madrox]
Never mind to properly understand my kind
You must be tangled in the vines when it's choosing for harvest time
Picked over left behind in a patch to rot and die
With a crow’s dropped shit from out the crushed velvet sky
Chances are I gets smashed by car, driven by teens on Halloween
Doing donuts in a pumpkin patch, drinking, swerving, everything
Supposed that I get saved to leave the pumpkin patch unscathed
To be worshiped in a circle of sulfur eleven? so pain
Keep the dead folks away, I mean the ghosts to be exact
With the track to flesh his scab and his soul turns black
And it's back to garbage can or a compost heap
To become one with the earth and then the cycle then repeats
The insects grow close as they continue eat the host
There must be thousands of them, still I never felt more alone
I hear the laughter of the crows and a cackle from out the trees
In a census up in the breeze telling me “always believe in the host!”

[Chorus]
I'm ghost
My love, the host
I'm ghost
(Do you love me?)
My love, the host

[Monoxide Child]
I shoulda never played it alone
But I'm bored so I got the board and played on my own
And recorded everything I read
Fuck, who am I kidding? you know I ain't read shit
I took it straight to the head
Looking through the circle of glass and at first I've seen nothing
So I begin to ask “Is there anybody in here? give me a sign
Let me know I'm not alone and bloodshot to my eyes”
Momma was honest with something demonic it must’ve summoned something alive
It tried to rip through my stomach
And I feel like I'm gonna vomit my ribs just broke
Body in contract in looking like a bent-up spoke
I can feel it in my bones so I stab a knife in it
Hoping that I can kill whatever life I'm transcending
What a joke, I just kinda laid there and died
Controlled by something that never wanted me alive

[Chorus]
I'm ghost
My love, the host
I'm ghost
My love, the host
I'm ghost
My love, the host
I'm ghost
My love, the host

(Do you love me?)
