Feel my fathers head in my hands
Squeeze my head in my hands
The river shimmers round my shattered feet
Still my quiver’s nowhere near empty
Father, what have we come to?
Where do we run to?

Twisting in the worldwide prism
Like it or not, you’re gliding with ‘em
Like it or not, we answer to an algorithm
Which has no heart to feel 
And no need to reel
In the damage

Land of the free
Free to do good, Free to do bad
Faces of the many
Stretched city to sea to shining sea
Red tape, forsaken needs
Patiently the patient bleeds

Twisting in the worldwide prism
Like it or not, you’re lying with ‘em
Like it or not, we answer to an algorithm
	(A#, C, D…D#)
We answer to an algorithm
We answer to an algorithm

Only a man can feel
Only a woman can feel
a need for this land to heal
A need to take the wheel 
The old way Can’t be THE true way when
The future forms a ray through today
	
Twisting in the worldwide prism
Like it or not, you’re dying with ‘em
Like it or not, we answer to an algorithm
we answer to an algorithm
	Which has no heart to feel
	And no reason to reel
	In the damage

The Algorithm is Broken

I whispered to my woman
Tell me please what you need
She said I’m running out time
She said i, i, i,
This is a one-way line

I went to see some people
I walked down their street
But I got no lack of purpose
But I got no lack of use
Those aren’t my blues

The ports all use me

A river of light 
Ripples inside
Dividing her sky from great father time
Husk and seed
Void and body

I’m striving to see ‘em

She’s hoping you
Go become who
You're dreaming of when she’s burnt black & blue
I pray that she
Sees the best me
as i’m aiming not to be blaming the
	Worst parts
	On anyone else

God is not a person
Each eye opposite
Somebody’s eye
I am a person
& the devilish shade in 
a greater

—
Angels make friends
So they can transcend 
The pale mist of unending bliss
Now I’ll run for hero
But i need to know how
I'll never need crutches or spells to
	Shield me from
	The reality (that)
