panopticon
04:37
|
|||
my kingdom to exist in a refraction
if you don't do anything do not expect a reaction
crowd noise is like birdsong and i don't pretend to sing along
that often, but maybe every ripple is contraction
crowdsourcing munchausen by proxy
competitive pity parties
privatized for profiteering
panopticon or house of mirrors
time is as infinite as dilations
measurement is an alchemist's transformation
religion is influencialism
patience is the antidote to attempted persuation

give and take your medication
daily double dose elation
be right back, don't change the station
trolley track, cohabitation
every day is a staycation
pay the dues with your creation
reward yourself for all your patience
can you dig the excavation
call it a mine and then it's yours
digging down and ever towards
say less with rhymes to more awards
is it high tide or sinking shore?
prove the ruling, take exception
calm before the storm collected
accept no answer left unquestioned
inevitable rejection
collaboration intercepted
objections to being subjective
confirmation unsuspected
the bias for us so protected
call it a mine and then it's yours
digging down and ever towards
say less with rhymes to more awards
is it high tide or sinking shore?

silent violent insurrection
mileage trials for our infection
back before some jerk invented agriculture
only the greedy were rejected
but lucky us, we've got technology
skyscrapers make another forest
and now it's not that hard to bore us
and the oxygen that it creates
may not in fact be that good for us
but it is what it is tautologically
slavery wages, we blame the scabs
because with inequality there's solidarity in levels
until it affects me it's really not that bad
or it's a problem we can't shoulder in a single individual
will getting caught in the rain still be romantic
when you need hazmat protection to stand it?
there's one thing can't be bought and i say it's a better planet
a game of craps, but you bet as if your life demands it
competitive sin and natural selection
a constant cacophonic argument about our correct correction
astrology is a bad way to get published
but a good way to make friends
if you can tolerate blissful stupidity
originally the origin was just a measurement
until we turned superstition inside out again
and we estimate we've barely made a dent
according to dunning kreuger that might mean we've reached the end
it used to take a village but at least it gave one back
when dads weren't considered creepers for being nice to children that weren't from their sack
a meritocracy is fascist eugenics with extra steps
kind of sad that pride and prejudice seem to run the same train track
will getting caught in the rain still be romantic
when you need hazmat protection to stand it?
there's one thing can't be bought and i say it's a better planet
a game of craps, but you bet as if your life demands it
and it will
and it will
get well
sooner or later
and it will
and it will
get well
sooner or later
will getting caught in the rain still be romantic
when you need hazmat protection to stand it?
there's one thing can't be bought and i say it's a better planet
a game of craps, but you bet as if your life demands it

medusa

doing something wrong on purpose
doing something right by accident
the most valuable thing is worthless
the most agreeable is intransigent
the laziest can learn the most
the industrious might do the least
the best are better off, for they don't boast
the most civillized is most the beast
the unspoken truths are the best known
we're best understood when most alone
taking all precautions makes you danger-prone
a sculptor sculpted medusa and turned into stone
a parallel that always touches
we don't how it is but how it could be
fighting and flying on crutches
if it's never been, well then it should be
the unspoken truths are the best known
we're best understood when most alone
taking all precautions makes you danger-prone
a sculptor sculpted medusa and turned into stone
the unspoken truths are the best known
we're best understood when most alone
taking all precautions makes you danger-prone

never too long
04:10
|

watermarks on wood
create as they erode
every ring another year
another story told
we decided how time's divided
but didn't decide it all
taking cues from observations
beckoning the call
working hard and playing along
hardly working when what we're working on
is playing a song
two rights can never make a wrong
the barley's working and we're feeling the calm
it's never too long
it's never too long
gestures are reflected
it's what comes around
can't reap the agriculture
not planted in the ground
appreciated purpose
ever inflating things
at least it would be worthless
but infinity can sing
working hard and playing along
hardly working when what we're working on
is playing a song
two rights can never make a wrong
the barley's working and we're feeling the calm
it's never too long
it's never too long
two rights can never make a wrong
the barley's working and we're feeling the calm
it's never too long
it's never too long
it's never too long
it's never too long
it's never too long
it's never too long

that's fair voltaire
03:20
|

nothing sells like crazy
it's a race to the bottom
and the grand prize
is to smoke 'em if you got 'em
that's fair, voltaire
doubt's unpleasant and certainty is absurd
that's cool, camus
let's save civillization with our words
kicking them while they're down
is disguised as punching up
only asking questions and intimidating
those with answers into shutting up
that's fair, voltaire
doubt's unpleasant and certainty is absurd
that's cool, camus
let's save civillization with our words
that's fair, voltaire
doubt's unpleasant and certainty is absurd
that's cool, camus
let's save civillization with our words
that's fair, voltaire
doubt's unpleasant and certainty is absurd

let's save civillization with our words
with our words

babel
04:22
|

maybe they burned the tower of babel
because everyone was getting cancelled
or people were laughing at the other people's failures
and they cyberbullied their way back to the dark ages
so if you've nothing nice to say
it might be best to keep it to yourself
lest we waste all of our less than precious time
writing down our criticisms instead of chasing wealth
you showed me yours but i don't have to show you mine
if the boat's already hitting the iceberg
should the band play on or mutiny?
learning to read timing is learning how to swerve
learning to listen for the silence in between
so if you've nothing nice to say
it might be best to keep it to yourself
lest we waste all of our less than precious time
writing down our criticisms instead of chasing wealth
you showed me yours but i don't have to show you mine
so if you've nothing nice to say
it might be best to keep it to yourself
lest we waste all of our less than precious time
writing down our criticisms instead of chasing wealth
you showed me yours but i don't have to show you mine

a love nest for one
i bask in the sun
i couldn't have more fun if i tried
and i've tried
tried again, it's a trend
these days that i spend
on what i depend, content for my head
for my head
try some more with rapport
deciduous friends
keep me breathing my own oxygen
my own oxygen
a contest never won
for the best, never done
i couldn't have more fun if i tried
and i've tried
a toast to the sun
keep on glowin', ya bum
i couldn't have more fun if i tried
and i've tried
tried again, it's a trend
these days that i spend
on what i depend, content for my head
for my head
try some more with rapport
deciduous friends
keep me breathing my own oxygen
my own oxygen
try some more with rapport
deciduous friends
keep me breathing my own oxygen
my own oxygen

if it seems like there's nothing
to look forward to
and all you're doing is just looking around
or there's a never enough thing
that has hold of you
that's driving you into or under the ground
remember how far you have come to get here
the many times that you conquered your fears
the hope and the sorrow, the joy and the tears
when months felt like days and seconds felt like years
some day you'll remember this, too, it's been said
make friends with yourself while you're in your own head
a horse will get thirsty the longer he's led
so let him drink when he wants to instead
you are not quite beaten
but feeling the burn
you've not many places to go to find peace
there is only defeat in
not taking your turn
for if you won't try then does hope decease
remember how far you have come to get here
the many times that you conquered your fears
the hope and the sorrow, the joy and the tears
when months felt like days and seconds felt like years
some day you'll remember this, too, it's been said
make friends with yourself while you're in your own head
a horse will get thirsty the longer he's led
so let him drink when he wants to instead
remember how far you have come to get here
the many times that you conquered your fears
the hope and the sorrow, the joy and the tears
when months felt like days and seconds felt like years
some day you'll remember this, too, it's been said
make friends with yourself while you're in your own head
a horse will get thirsty the longer he's led
so let him drink when he wants to instead
remember how far you have come to get here
remember how far you have come to get here
remember how far you have come to get here
remember how far you have come to get here

unrecognizable
04:06
|
|||
the finite can't diminish the infinity
telling pandora to stand down is frivolity
one day we'll look back fondly at obscenity
everything that shatters will consolidate
there is no nurture without nature
no road to growth without our patience
maybe we're inventing something incapable of hatred
unrecognizable is not synonymous with faceless
as long as creativity is self-curated
the enormity of the abyss is abated
it's not like we were self-regulated
it's high time culture was percolated
there is no nurture without nature
no road to growth without our patience
maybe we're inventing something incapable of hatred
unrecognizable is not synonymous with faceless
maybe we're inventing something incapable of hatred
unrecognizable is not synonymous with faceless
maybe we're inventing something incapable of hatred
unrecognizable is not synonymous with faceless

like to be chased
04:22
|
|||
there's no not looking back when you're looking in a mirror
no not seeing what i look like when you're not here
surely i'm more serious, my eyes a bit more clear
but i've got to admit i liked the way you grinded on my gears
i'm watching myself overthink at least twice as much
thought you slowed me down to easy when i was in a rush
but it's hardly been a secret, i can't lie to my own face
you wore me out with running when you just like to be chased
no more sweet delirium or being a sad sack
i'd pin up all the notes i could have wrote but wouldn't have the tacks
i'm watching myself overthink at least twice as much
thought you slowed me down to easy when i was in a rush
but it's hardly been a secret, i can't lie to my own face
you wore me out with running when you just like to be chased
i'm watching myself overthink at least twice as much
thought you slowed me down to easy when i was in a rush
but it's hardly been a secret, i can't lie to my own face
you wore me out with running when you just like to be chased
i'm watching myself overthink at least twice as much
thought you slowed me down to easy when i was in a rush
but it's hardly been a secret, i can't lie to my own face
you wore me out with running when you just like to be chased
