Waiting here on something more I couldn't see it for everything but now I'm sure Galaxies trapped in small small spaces Memory leaks from all the faces And we say, it's better now than ever though Isn't it great, how the information hangs above But it's piping through the shorelines Want more? That's fine Stress the tension 'til it's wartime Now there's no more, 'cause we all died Maybe this connectedness is too much Reciprocal feedback screeching loud I'm losing touch But I find solace in the shared experience so Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in Infinitesimal, three zeroes after the decimal It felt special to feel so small Under the weight of it all Infinite decibels are definitely deafening me Within enclosed walls We can all talk at once until our breath is expelled And the collective gasp makes our lungs all swell Make our lungs all swell We're somewhere in between dying and dreaming Digital lucidity adds DRM to the DMT And I feel empty because all I see are Brand new memes about bad new things Is it self-fulfilling prophecy To prepare ourselves for worsening? Maybe this connectedness is too much Reciprocal feedback screeching loud I'm losing touch But I find solace in the shared experience so Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in Infinitesimal, three zeroes after the decimal It felt special to feel so small Under the weight of it all Infinite decibels are definitely deafening me Within enclosed walls We can all talk at once until our breath is expelled And the collective gasp makes our lungs all swell Make our lungs all swell Under the weight of it all

Keep Wadin' 02:30
I don't think it's better than drowning to keep wadin' No refuge in sight, confusing spite in every word not chosen right I don't wanna think "what if"s because it always gives in I get livid and it's not fair Take a second breathe and pipe down Things got too loud, I hate when we fight It just seems like it's past the edge when we Recite this every night I get tired, I get selfish Everything you don't deserve I've been feeling this it's hypnotism normalized Then it's notarized, wait 'til it gets codified I've been feeling this way for my whole entire life Redundancies aside, I've made my mind up I don't think it's really worth trying Or defiling, I want something new Founded in truth, and unobsessed with everything I choose to do I don't wanna upload that and sell it to the technocrats You're cut off or pinned on a map and it's not fair Take a second breathe and pipe down You're talking too loud anything can hear My deepest fear is to lose everything 'cause it hit the wrong ears I'm tired, I'm paranoid, everything you should avoid I've been feeling this it's hypnotism normalized Then it's notarized, wait 'til it gets codified I've been feeling this way for my whole entire life Redundancies aside, I've made my mind up I've been feeling this it's hypnotism normalized Then it's notarized, wait 'til it gets codified I've been feeling this way for my whole entire life Redundancies aside, I've made my mind up

New Cells 03:04
Woah, I can still remember a time Fresh in my mind before the decline Before we started sorting everything to categories And made new cells to trap ourselves in You think you know me best but no you don't Loathe me when I wear my clothes Because it's not what you think I should be wearing It's scary, cause I just wanna live Disgraced from unpainted unshaved faces Can't take this, they do their best to erase this And replace my patience with hatred for them Again and again I'm left voiceless in my own fight Take the knife twist it right, leave me bleedin' Again and again "What if she's not what she says she's like" What a sorry life, convince yourself you're even worth deceiving Explaining existence I guess I'm getting used to it (Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh uh uh) Justifying my whole life I think I'm getting tired Explaining existence I guess I'm getting used to it (Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh uh uh) Justifying my whole life I think I'm getting tired Woah, everytime I go online There's a new worst thing I've ever seen How am I to stay objective, when I'm feeling uncollected Cause I'm picked apart and strewn about by society I see the hoops they jump through And then backpedal when realizing it applies to them to If it happens to me, it can happen to you Again and again I'm left voiceless in my own fight Take the knife twist it right, leave me bleedin' Again and again "What if she's not what she says she's like" What a sorry life, convince yourself you're even worth deceiving Explaining existence I guess I'm getting used to it (Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh uh uh) Justifying my whole life I think I'm getting tired Explaining existence I guess I'm getting used to it (Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh uh uh) Justifying my whole life I think I'm getting tired

Pay In 4 04:05
pay with your body to pay with the money you make Pay with your body to make sure you're keeping in shape Don't ask, don't ask why i feel so bad in this place 'Cause if you had the receptors connecting gestures and textures It would leave a bad taste, i guarantee it'd leave a bad taste If I free myself to rest and heal, I won't be able to survive If I welcome debt into my life, it'll never subside Born on the wrong side of the credit line Forty or so years ago and it would've been fine What do they mean it's not different? What do they mean it's how it's always been When we've tried all forms of dissent short of killing congressmen? So you pay with your body to pay with the money you make Pay with your body to make sure you're keeping in shape Don't ask, don't ask why i feel so bad in this place 'Cause if you had the receptors connecting gestures and textures It would leave a bad taste, i guarantee it'd leave a bad taste

Doomscroll 02:39
No one needs to know when I'm active, now I'm captive Seen a million things that I've hated since this morning Glowing rectangle, let me go I don't have the time to doomscroll Silly incoherent me Uploaded myself to the bad discourse machine I'm feeling overloaded Personality is just a brand to be decoded I'm learning and unlearning Yearning for a future worth the world still turning No one needs to pick apart my story, that just bores me If you're filling gaps and assuming, then truly, you should just watch a movie Go ahead and letterboxd my life I won't stop until the average is a 4.9 Silly incoherent you The bad discourse machine does more than ads can do I'm feeling overloaded Personality is just a brand to be decoded I'm learning and unlearning

World's gone interactive, wish I could redact it But I'll just sit here passive as if It will be easy to get past this and shift the conscience Along with, everything wrong with Our pre-established lives on the outside Keeping mouths wide, gawking in at the people that we dislike Hate following is calling me to keep wallowing This oughta be the last time that this thought repeats An age of comparison where it's been Relegated back to the garrison you fight with Despite this, everything is fractured And everyone's a critic howling laughter just like Statler & Waldorf, switch me off the ball court I'm tired, dehydrated, I've been playing for the past fortnight I don't feel alright Going manic second guessing all the things I've typed Thinking why don't I get likes? I keep coming here because I know how quickly it can be taken away I've seen it in my lifetime World's gone interactive, wish I could redact it But I'll just sit here passive as if It will be easy to get past this and shift the conscience Along with, everything wrong with Our pre-established lives on the outside Keeping mouths wide, gawking in at the people that we dislike Hate following is calling me to keep wallowing This oughta be the last time that this thought repeats I left my phone at home I'm in the world all alone Hope I know how to get home I created this dead zone Christopher Walken dialogue haunting Tell me ow I'm gonna die With loading screens in my eyes Reading "failed to start" as my brain is fried Across my eyelids, everything I did we be replayed Continued on an endless loop It's feeling like it's groundhog day What can I say? The world's decay is eating out my insides It's all server farms, electric cars And asking where the drones fly and why? World's gone interactive, wish I could redact it But I'll just sit here passive as if It will be easy to get past this and shift the conscience Along with, everything wrong with Our pre-established lives on the outside Keeping mouths wide, gawking in at the people that we dislike Hate following is calling me to keep wallowing This oughta be the last time that this thought repeats

Forty Years 01:55
In forty years, Will all of this just obfuscate the tree line? Will we even go outside When there's no carbon dioxide? Cell towers stretch from the mountains and I found that I am sicker of it than I thought I'd been. What would going back even look like? To get small again when everything's been made worldwide Maybe we can hold accountable the hands that hold our lives Yeah right. Yeah right. In forty years Will all of this be covered by a piplline Will we even drink water when we're all just fodder for their crimes I've given some thought The answer is probably not.
