just can’t see
beyond your tendency
to take more than you need
a bullshit cavity
we’re all hungry
you’re just filling up the wrong way
if left to be
with your proclivities
your ego seeds
something 'bout
legacy
well don’t worry
you’re just dust on a sunbeam
we can give you relief
take your hollow creed, your overreach
with your ill company
and right this ship
with true contentment
made in a way even you can see
you can have this too
just relinquish
just as you know you’ll have to do
you can give it up, you’ve had enough
give someone else a chance

now you’re sorry
too late to retrieve
what you said was stolen
but you gave willingly
now you’re stuck in our hold
a very quality control
eureka!
we permeate who we serve
we’ll sell you yourself as a star
we obfuscate new terms
and promise a light in the dark
eureka!
we calculate new worlds
we know everything that you are
we orchestrate cruel herds
we can’t stop, it’s gone too far

a blue glow up above
it's like nothing I’ve heard of
quiet creep across the night air
can’t be sure it’s even there
won’t run, won't flee
it’s come for me
feelin’ so delirious
don’t know what to make of this
you try to take it serious
what’s the difference
when you say it’s mysterious
how I could consider this
only an experience
what’s the difference
I've been waiting faithfully
for you to take me away
once sleep takes its leave
once we accept the dream
won’t run, won't flee
he’s come for me
what
a sight to see
my savior
he looked just like me
feelin’ so delirious
don’t know what to make of this
you try to take it serious
what’s the difference
when you say it’s mysterious
how I could consider this
only an experience
what’s the difference

Your God Is Evil

murder in the name of
who you can love
half the population
used for incubation
brains washed for hate
won’t assimilate
gilded and regal
your god is evil
oh but you know what he's like
those mysterious ways
can't know his plan
no need to explain
violently
he wants to be
your only love
your only need
it’s the ultimate
in parasocial relationships
the alpha narcissist
if you need a solution
don’t look to the sky
for your reprieval, ’cause
your god is evil
oh he’s sitting around
on his comfortable thumb
he’s either powerless, heartless,
or completely dumb
why you believe
it’s plain to see
the thinnest veil for the
hate you breed

it’s too soon
been barely awake
gotta figure this out
before it’s too late
iron melts
forging a core
and you’re still stuck
thinking you know what it’s all for
round and round we go
inching ever closer to the poles
now the two sides
in middle world, stranded
can’t sense beyond this
your tool is archaic
and that’s why you’ve made this
you ignore
the oar and the rope
fighting the rescue
can’t see the future
un
fold
dark as hell but still we can see
enough to take only what we need
can’t you imagine
what it’s like
claws are cold and we’re holding up
huddled close but we’re losing touch
too scared
to let it show
tunin’ out all the facts
won’t make you not small
set it again
just another trap
laid with care
to hold us back
you just won’t admit
we’re not superior
I don’t know how else I can say it
I don’t know how much we can take
don’t deny it
what a lie
I don’t know if we’ll ever not
be stuck with you on this falling rock

here I lay
light years away
feeling the seconds slow
losing control
here I lay
barely arranged
feeling the pressure rise
only inside
can’t let more in
this singularity’s
already taken
everything it can
tell them I’m on my way
to a mission failure
the station’s unstable
and I’m barely holding on
sustained, serially
seriously contained
I could find another way to say
give it up and take it away
if I could I’d take the shame
givin' in if it's all the same
can’t let more in
this singularity’s
already taken
everything it can
tell them I’m on my way
to a mission failure
this vessel's unstable
and I’m barely holding on
can’t seem to see
if the thing I feel is real
either way it leads to a spiral
from this double-coded and chiral
bespoke anxiety
passed down the line
all the same stardust
but this pattern’s mine
can’t go forward, choosing
and explore
when what came before
is not worth losing
a prisoner of this
space and time
overcalculate
with too many minds
don’t know where to go
or how to proceed
but I think I’ll be fine
if you’re tumbling with me
I’m calling
please receive
I’m alone and I can’t see
my way out
careening free
and the gravity is crushing

the only place there’s left to go is
up
off
out
but could you find some other way
to get us there
we’re holding in orbit
surely someone’s
gonna come back around
gonna clean this
gonna clean it up
put our fossil on a shelf
I tell you I don’t, and I don’t
really know
where to find
a home
