lyrics

In the garden of what is left
a sphere a silk-veil seeming spider bereft
hangs like an ornament among the lotus-eaters
perpetual panem et circenses
why would you ever leave

The service here is out of control
preemptive reflection refined
compulsive to the Algol-rhythm
you see what you want
and want what you see

What use is company
when you're promised relative anonymity
why share your time
when your time is shared
sold for sigils of distant attention

Just like that time under the tree
when ye and me made three
a slap on the wrist ripples in time
flame of light disorients
taking bites with your mouth so full
choking on your gift

Concentric circles between the eyes
desperate to monetize
commodity; target audience
a feed back loop you're sure to click


Just like that time under the tree
when ye and me made three
a slap on the wrist ripples in time
flame of light disorients
taking bites with your mouth so full
choking on your gift

Memetics mapped out like genetics
nihlist dystopic scenes
live as projected
live as expected
suspended in electric dreams
wherein even the artist bends at the knees
when wall-eyed Mammon sings

"I want more"

Just like that time under the tree
when ye and me made three
a slap on the wrist ripples in time
flame of light disorients
taking bites with your mouth so full
choking on your gift
