lyrics

It came in peace in from the sewer In peace
It came in peace from the sewer
It came in peace from the sewer

It came in peace from the sewer waving a white flag
And was welcomed by dirty stares along with a tote bag

Made of burlap and filled with complementary soaps
As well a guide on tying nooses that came with varying ropes
Hung from precarious hopes like inspirational posters
Of cats Hangin' in there on a limb or forks that hang over toasters

Walking on coasters so my filthy strides don't leave any marks
Other than Asinine pride and slime that glows in the dark

A grimy Pentemental embedded over the sentiment
changing although I stay insane my brain obtains the sediment
evident that things are looking up because still i can't hold the pen still
Grins Wrapped around the face by these vines of toothy tendrils

Or like my fingers around a pencil
Or a synthetic states of mind
With artificial facial features that are silicon confined

I'm a hero to the blind
And a villain to the deaf
Moronic to the mute
And mutant at its best


Chorus:

Verse 2:
It Came in peace from the sewer baring peace sign in hand

And in return got middle fingers and an admittance wristband

They scanned when a filthy being emerges from sewer covers

After spending years below seein the world through manured shutters

The stench smothers any other senses and dulls thought

Wreaking even worse than all the dirty garbage it fought

Not cosmetically right and yet so visibly wrong

Dead fish tangled in its hair and sludge oozing out its palms

Dirt wedged between teeth each step Trackin mud

And an ambiguous scent of either skunk or dank bud

Pipelines connect minds leading to waste baskets

But I take what I can get so this freak sleeps in wake caskets

got sewer being Toe tagged and mistaken for a corpse rottin

That surfaced to move up in life but hit an even harder bottom

A problem that it found in a world made newer

But still tried Its best and came in peace from the sewer

It came in peace from the sewer
It
It
It
It came in peace from the sewer
In peace
It
It
It
It came in peace from the sewer
In peace
It
It
It
It came in peace from the sewer smile stretching from ear to ear

And was greeted by confetti and splintering screams of fear

Appearing as a terror or bearer of sights for soar eyes

That were intended to be soothed by witnessing blue skies

Of infinite size but instead was covered by rain clouds

To trickle into the head and wash Whatever thought that the brain shrouds

So it unpacked the tote bag and tied a noose from the rope

So as the monster washed away it's corpse was pelted with its own soap

What once had hope and the pungent sent assanine pride

Came in peace from the sewer and was crying as it died

And as the last bit of ooze was dripping down from its wrist

It regretted comin in peace and wished it had brought them a clenched fist
