ok hears what i think.... this line goes.

theres a matter of payment
to you i slipped on crooked sores
in conclaves that you bothered

.it makes more sense read like that and thats how you hear it in the song

conclaves-1. A secret or confidential meeting.

  1. Roman Catholic Church a. The private rooms in which the cardinals meet to elect a new pope. b. The meeting held to elect a new pope. (i dont think the religious meaning is significant in this specific song but i do know religion is heavily referenced by TMV)

in case you didnt know this songs is about the oiuji board (obviously. the whole album is!)

payment obv means theres consequence for using this board

to you i slipped on crooked sores i think symbolizes that reaching him was not easy

in conclaves that you bothered means the meeting in which this communication was made i also think

the changing in vocal effects is significant symbolizing how something that started good has ended evil

those are my thoughts please criticize
