          "Wait for them to ask you who you know ". In this portion of the song we see that the author emphasized the "oo" sound. I feel that he does this, because he wants to give an eerie feeling. Another line is "They say newcomers have a certain smell". This line uses sibilance to give a slithery creepy feel.
          In the line "Yeah, I trust issues, not to mention" the author uses repetition of "t" sounds .
I think the author does this to create a sharp sounding line. This sharp line contrasts very well with the smooth slithering sound of sibilance and the "oo".
