Well, very complex and layered
There are no invincible stories
There are no frameworks without flaws
There is no perfect assemblage
Each one is broken in its own way
Broken in its own way
Broken in its own way
Broken in its own way
But I'm still gonna sing
I sing to heal myself
Healing you is a side effect
Healing you is a side effect
Forget the lessons
Of civil servants
Help the helpless
Delve the bottomless
Skeptical of systems
Critical of skeptics
Critical of methods
Critical of most men
I'll list them:
Puppeteers
Presidents
Ad men
Head men
Dead men
Don't you need to go to work?
Put on mask
Greet, shake, smile, don't ask
Walk past
Don't look up, don't look left, don't look down, don't look right
Don't look.
Close your eyes and hide
No division of labor can save you
God knows
You were built fast
Your process was rushed
Many errors
Disadvantages introduced
Now there
Big deal. Who cares.
There's a lot of
Moderate people
Look at the light
Engage with the source
I'm too friendly, servile
Worried about optics
Send me some hot pics
I'm too cautious
To return the favor
Maybe not though
Here I go dithering dithering dithering d- d- d-
But I'm still gonna sing
I sing to heal myself
Healing you is a side effect
Healing you is a side effect
You can't double back on me
You can't invite me to a week on the beach
You can't broadcast your perfect vacation rental into my private sphere
I privately fear that
I am a tower
of self restraint
I am a picture
A line drawing
Two dimensions
Overlaps annihilate
Play taps it's too late
Frosty glass shattered
Shredding sides of a tall kitchen bag
Don't think
Don't speak
Don't care
I cut my own hair
Don't stop
Don't breathe
Don't eat
Don't climb a tree
Don't text on the turnpike
Don't tell me what you don't like
You definitely will find me
I will appear as a friendly blip
I will disappear too
Satellite streaming from the corner of your eye
Into the dark bye bye
There are no invincible lies
There is no masterpiece without flaws
There is no perfect assemblage
Each one is broken in its own way
Broken in its own way
Broken in its own way
Broken in its own way
Broken in its own way
Past known planets
Past known moons
Past known orbits
Past known cartoons
Past known sites of relocation
Past known victories
Past known histories
Past known impulses
Ten pulses phase and converge
Humans finding humans
Buildings. frames. hives. collectives.
Vertical gardens
Hospice
Cold places
Morgues
Smoke pours
I evaporate
Blink.
Gone.
Sweep.
Song.
Pills.
Weed.
Broke.
Drunk.
Believable.
Portionable.
Portending grace.
