Gao The Arsonist Gordian Lyrics

[Intro]
(What is this, sludge?)
(Yes, it's sludge)

[Chorus]
Weapons hidden by the “demigods”
Nothing short of shedding blood is gonna—
Is gonna get me off
It's just rhetoric and demagogues
I'll make them kneel with proper etiquette
I'm dead and gone if I don't (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
I don't wanna boast
Look at what I forged for the Gordian knot
It's just any other rope
I'll learn what your name is just to tell another joke
Tell another joke
Tell another—
[Post-Chorus]
You built this house
On ore and flesh
I filled the ground
For your embrace
Said you looked god in the mouth
And floorboards strained
I'm either in denial
Or it's your mistake

[Verse 1]
You lied
I loved
But your language was legacy leveraged
I tied my tongue
Like a lapdog panting to lick up the hemorrhage (Huh, yuh)
Your mind
Was strung out collapsing under the weight of perspective
That better be why you defected
You were defective
You were de—, huh (Huh, yuh) [Verse 2]
The minute I find the pantheon:
Divide, diminish, and conquer it
I'll mine the business to sponsor
Baby, it's fine if digits turn red
I'm finished once I make ash of all their kind and sit where that monster lives
In the sky or under the bed
I promise I'll check
I'll check
I'll check
[Chorus]
Weapons hidden by the “demigods”
Nothing short of shedding blood is gonna—
Is gonna get me off
It's just rhetoric and demagogues
I'll make them kneel with proper etiquette
I'm dead and gone if I don't
I don't wanna boast
Look at what I forged for the Gordian knot
It's just any other rope
I'll learn what your name is just to tell another joke
Tell another joke
(This is the Arsonist)

[Post-Chorus]
You built this house
On ore and flesh
I filled the ground
For your embrace
Said you looked god in the mouth
And floorboards strained
I'm either in denial
Or it's your mistake
