The Collectorate
01Begin Again
Pretty One, we're setting sail to Earth again
It's been such a long time
There's something that I need to do
Before their system goes Kardashev Type-II
Relax, this thing's on autopilot hyperdrive
Dream about pushing this button
if there's anything you need
Close your pretty eyes babe and go to cryo sleep
The solar system's gone to shit
Their sun ain't even fully lit
He says it can begin again
Let's do it even better
if he says it then I believe it
I believe it
I believe it
Oh I believe it
The thrumming of a black hole in my chest
teaches me a lesson about being distressed
I'm sick of fast forward while the galaxy spins
Precious few times when the faith sets in
The thrumming of a black hole in my chest
teaches me a lesson about being distressed
I'm sick of fast forward while the galaxy spins
Precious few times when the faith sets in
Pretty Two, I'm unsettled by the things you dream
You're right, the Oort Cloud is a little far
We should move a little closer
if we wanna put the pressure on
and fry em with their own star
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Relax, dream a multiverse of paths to ruin
Put your back into it, girl Direct their solar mirrors,
wipe away their whole world The solar system's gone to shit
Their sun ain't even fully lit He says it can begin again
Let's do it even better
if he says it I believe it
I believe it
I believe it
I believe it
02Sennacherib
Princess! The king of Mars is hailing us.
“Weeoouuyynn!”Hello you, I heard you need a tutor.
Do you have history books
or is your Grand Library mostly for looks?
What to do with a little bitch king like you
You orchestrate lotta nothin while u sit and wait
I show up
you had a lotta warning
But here you are not even preparing
and a little adoring
not even preparing
and a little adoring
Mister King man, what is your plan?
So far I've only seen you stick your head in the sand
Mister king sir, would you like to see mine?
Not long before we're aligned with a river of sunlight
So much war from a little bitch world like yours
The Red Planet? Like embers through my hatchet
Send up your flares while your friends act scarce
Yeah
Mister King man but threaten all you will
it could go down in Oblivi-Anne
Yeah it's all a real blur for you
but we've been taking a lotta notes for true
The gossip is you have no grip on planets Red or Blue
Mister King Man
Real Bitch One's here we'll do some wrangling
You like? You have to earn something
Pay to win, but Plead Nothing
For more, For less, For cheap, For rain
For real there's kind of a lot more to lose than gain
More and big and cheap, obtuse
Bloated business is too big to notice the clues
03Style Check
Pretty 2's Compliment is more negative at first
When I swell up, oh damn
Delicious problem go boom
1's Compliment has the tendency to leave two zeroes on the board
Sometimes we all just wanna settle up
We tried to settle down but now we're really daddy's horde
We'll keep to the night
Why? That's our rule...
Look around you everywhere and...
What does you see?
Lotta people chained to some
What does it mean?
'Really shoulda thought about all upstream
What does it mean?
Boom Boom.
For more, For less, For cheap, For us
For more, For less, For cheap, For rain
For more, For less, For cheap, For rain
“Oh, so you DO have some fight in you, now you found God?”Lock me in, little dove
Here I am, little cuz
You think I'm blowing bluff
Mars's King is actin tough
You know well enough.
How would you ever show up big enough?
We were in it air tight
for the rest of the night
They seeing how it is
while we're cooking on our business
Everybody disappointed, they don't get to hear
Everybody syncopated when you get to whisper in my ear
For more, For less, For cheap, For rain
Don't you just tell me what I want to hear
Time is adding up
Tell me something I ain't ever heard before
Before I'm done cleaning you up
You're up to what works the best on all your sluts
You can get a picture of me
Stalling while a timer reaches slowly for an end—Yikes!
Style Check, Bravest son
Here I am, another Mum
Really do you with your sun
Mars's King is washing up (mhm)
You know well enough.
How would you ever show up big enough?
Everybody disappointed they don't get to hear
Everybody's inebriated when you get to whisper in my ear
Everybody complicates it and they don't get to hear
The way you thought to pound it in
when you get to whisper in my ear
Baggy now, shitty sleep, Here I am, being me
Style Check
Gravesite, since I said, Here I am, Collectorate
It's been over since I said
Mars's King is mega dead
You know well enough.
Style Check
04Hatches Still Not Battened
Great beyond, everything you see
could fit inside a thimble, hun
if only it were little enough
Ready? It's me looking expectantly, escape is free
if you hide inside a thimble, hun
You'll be little but still big and buff
I'll fit you in. Whatever, it's cool
Aging like a wine swish of Eternity Fuel
Below deck with your hat on while there's hatches still not battened
With an itty bitty flick of my intangibly good wrist
I'll skip us over heaven and anywhere else with a list
For you
(I won't, I won't)
I'm ridiculously glad to meet you doin you, boo
This inn't the hole you should be in if you ever wanna see ur friends again!
This is literally your last warning until the cooking is doneI've meticulously penned and plotted the light cone for your geodesic
My event horizon's here to squeeze it (Tada!)
Your last warning, now calculations are done.
It's ostensibly all why we come here
Trillions went our own way
All arrive to a crowded vaycay
I'll fit you in. Whatever, it's cool.
Aging like a wine swish of Eternity Fuel
Below deck with your hat on while there's hatches still not battened.
With an itty bitty flick of my intangibly good wrist
I'll skip us over heaven and anywhere else with a list
For you
When we last said words, remember those too?
(I do, I do)
In public you can hear people say what they don't, do you?
(I won't, I won't)
An itty bitty flick of my intangibly good wrist
I'll skip us over heaven and anywhere with a list
For you
05The Collectorate
Out here, you're on
any path that light can take you
You're on
I gotta act just to see you
and we're at the airport
on a journey to evade la mort
I thought I'd just see you again
I'll drop in sometime if you build us a star-fort
Yeah I'll sit with you for a little while and think...
Why does this date stink?
Look if you don't want the company you're welcome to scramble it
What's your face right now?
Why's it doing that?
No groveling needed but you're welcome to mumble it
At least now your really met
The Collectorate!
