Wax Simulacra Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Came back to doubt yourself but broke in two
They find it punctual with idle tooth
I'll find somethin' to shake by the roots
I crawl along the ceilings in your room
The cold is spinnin' thread to answer you
I need somethin' made of freewill

[Chorus]
Am I waitin' now?
Does my waitin' howl?
Am I waitin' now?
Does my waitin' howl?


[Verse 2]
I bring an avalanche of Toltec bones
Contaminated cravings if you choose
To play somethin' that aches for a spill
Leave out the meat for that contact high
Inhale the vapors, let the hangman smile
For that somethin' to shake by the roots

[Chorus]
Am I waitin' now?
Does my waitin' howl?
Am I waitin' now?
Does my waitin' howl?

[Bridge]
Bring me the tame
Witness germinates in the child that word of mouth stutters
Blink at the lonely dice
Bring me the tame
Witness germinates in the child that word of mouth stutters
Blink at the lonely dice

[Chorus]
(Don't know) Am I waitin' now?
(Don't know) Does my waitin' howl?
(Don't know) Am I waitin' now?
(Don't know) Does my waitin' howl?
(Don't know) Am I waitin' now?
(Don't know) Does my waitin' howl?
(Don't know) Am I waitin' now?
(Don't know) Does my waitin' howl?
(Don't)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
