Beverage advertisement on a front window
The vapid stare of a bathroom behavior
Accomplice eternal, passive observer
Heteronormative patriarchal christ figure bro savior
Set the narrative, obey it and rock it
Have another, have another, friend!
Iron blood and chromium bone
Iodine reef and silicon stone
Enraged man, calamitous female
The extremes meet in the space provided by the zoning plan
Set the narrative, obey it and rock it
Have another, have another, friend!
Oh what gumption, friend! One part in many, friend!
I'm just like you, friend-- the same, but different, friend!
I am so sick of all-white-dude-twentysomethings-bands!

I'm So Sick of All-White-Dude-20-Somethings-Bands

Throw off the yoke, open the battery cage
If they don't let much light in here,
It's for a reason, photosynthetic brain
Get off the corpses, get off the spaceship
Grow your mind molars, molars in your mind
Grind and gnash your teeth
Ache for what cries underneath
The bright package and glassine bag
Cheerful farms in Brobdingnag
Smash all your pipes, a vehicle to insulate
If you don't let enough light inside you
It's because you yourself sabotage your impulse to germinate
Get off the corpses, get off the spaceship
Grow your mind molars, molars in your mind
Grind and gnash your teeth
Ache for what cries underneath
The bright package and glassine bag
Cheerful farms in Brobdingnag
The unsettling truth is that it's all your fault
So learn to chew with the enamel deep in your skull
Get off the corpses, get off the spaceship
Grow your mind molars
We'd all like a rest from standing all the time
Speaking with our stomachs, robbing the pastures blind
And the mountains of kernels could never guess
The oppression inherent to the record harvest's thresh
And the piney smell that lingers in the air
Is a piston or a stopcock, confounded doctrinaire
And the burgeoning mind that's always been around
Finds it easier to focus when addictions are unwound

Mind Molars

Gepetto's clock, the wood chop
To harvest not is to choose not
So much attention focused on wood, focused on wood
The strings under tension, if it hasn't it should
Gepetto's chisel, Gepetto's might
To harvest correctly, to choose right
So much attention focused on wood, focused on wood
The strings under tension, if it hasn't it should
All admit the last refuge of sky
On hallowed ground, it's so high
And all revere the last stronghold of sky
Become clear, when you're near
I welcome you to the last bastion of sound
When you're around, reply
And leave your shoes outside where you came
Speak the name and retry
So much attention focused on wood, focused on wood
The strings under tension, if it hasn't it should

Maestro Gepetto

The abyss divides the more that you let it there's no such thing as pauper DNA
Waiting for the drop while the boss is closing shop and the boots go clomp clomp on your face
A final final dollar for a head rush on the asphalt a contour integration around a pole in your damaged brain
We offer no elegy for the severed connection, sell your destruction back to you for a price you're bound to pay
And all the time, water reorganizes
And all in time, we'll seek our own level
As a function of time people tend not to get less fucked up
Happy trails, the chalice and the styrofoam cup
The abyss inside they call it a wealth gap and wealth is not minted, it's made
With impassioned intent, reasoned ascent integrity tills the geometry of space
You can't solve addictions with Green's functions, are you kidding?
You can't solve anything with the handful of sawdust you're holding
The dialogue's so schitzophrenic disengagement's the only rational option
It's all up in my Hamiltonian, shitting out polystyrene
And all the time, water reorganizes
And all in time, we'll seek our own level
As a function of time people tend not to get less fucked up
Happy trails, the chalice and the styrofoam cup
Love is a two-center integral over a real-space mesh
dr, dr' with boundary conditions appropriate
Derivation of the integrand is left as an exercise to the interested listener

The Chalice And The Styrofoam Cup

The best minds of my generation are figuring out how to make you click links
And cancelling out all the obelisk inscriptions written in light
On your jewel-encrusted, proto-conscious
Entertained into oblivion face
And you shouldn't be ashamed cause everybody's all up in the
Entertained into oblivion face race
Until we come upon an errant tangent I'm
Entertained into oblivion Entertained into oblivion Entertained into oblivion
So, whatcha know? Oh, another show? But
That is not objective reality That is not objective reality
The engine that spurs civilization is gobbling up all the little objects it meets
And flashing sidereels disrupt this conversation
Engendering nothing but scaring you out of your
Entertained into oblivion skin
And sometimes I feel it's not quite so bad to be
Entertained into oblivion Entertained into oblivion Entertained into oblivion
So, are you still on? Yeah, but the will's mostly gone but
That is not objective reality That is not objective reality
What's the meaning of objective reality I don't want your objective reality
Moved into formation it's inertia stable, or
Entertained into oblivion
A perturbation, second-order there's someone on it outside
Entertained into oblivion Entertained into oblivion
I'm trying not to be so affected on way or another and keep my goals in mind
Instruction's important and socializing's necessary
I live in the moment but still feel inevitably
Entertained into oblivion Entertained into oblivion Entertained into oblivion
Oh, that's the crux!
To be entertained by the things we love
Do they encode the neural ensemble enclosing
The concept of you? Why or why not?
Some fleeting distractions, a million pictures of cats
I'm not even laughing just bored with this chaff
Until then, I'm entertained into oblivion yeah entertained into oblivion
