lyrics

I am the oppressor of hope

The tormentor of dreams
I am the bigot in the bubbles
And I’m not as confident
As I have made myself out to be

Roaming through the reef below
In the house of unrecognized talent
Rage, fury, irritation
And humiliation

I am only filling with hate
The life of a worm you’ll soon know

A lack of self-confidence fuels me
Push you down to feel better about myself
I am a man so small
But I look at you like I’m tall

These simple truths fill me with hate
The life of Squidworm You’ll soon know
These simple truths fill me with hate
The life of Squidworm You’ll soon know

For I shall bring you to salvation
I am the omniscient being of the sea
Come forth, and bow down to me
Come forth, and bow down to me

For I shall bring you to salvation
I am the omniscient being of the sea
Come forth, and bow down to me
Come forth, and bow down to me

You’re just a worm and a maggot to us
Simply nothing more than the antagonist
Your crude behavior will be forgotten
Lost in the wake, opportunity in the mist

You’re just a worm and a maggot to us
Simply nothing more than the antagonist
Your crude behavior will be forgotten
Lost in the wake, opportunity in the mist

Parade of empty words, breeding your mindless herd
Torrential wave of agony
Shower us all with fallacy
Nothing you do or say can take the truth away
Nothing you do or say can take the truth away

Sad being all in all
A little dream world to uphold
You don’t think anyone else knows
That you’re a reeking, sopping, failure

For I shall bring you to salvation
I am the omniscient being of the sea
Come forth, and bow down to me
Come forth, and bow down to me
