Shut Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let me touch the tips of inculcated desire
And brush the fettered veil away
Shut down in the depths I lay...
If you want nothin' then I've got nothin'
I'm your annihilation man
Lemme get control I've got your minds
now I want
Your souls, lemme get control
I've got your minds
Now I want control, I need control...
If you want somethin' then
I've got somethin'
I'm your annihilation man...
