COINCIDENCE

Old sunset new horizon, offshore it to the Cayman Islands, foundation or tax haven? Stocks falling to the, to the trading floor, to the lobby doors, to its molten core, to the corner store - 2-ply: the softest touch you need (you'd need a cold hand to feel this heat) head rest, but then I'd second guess - if it were my choice, I'd digress. Quick trip down to the store, I want, I need a big bib for all this baby talk, the lies all foaming out your mouth like word vom, and on and on and... (I'm outside) (you're outside) (we're all looking inside from outside) Going undercover, looking for the exit, or any other - a sign or symbol, if inconsequential, plastic utensil carving out a tunnel - Didn't expect it, couldn't have guessed it, couldn't have solved to find the line of best fit - call it, call it, call it, call it, call it, call it, call it, call it - Sizing myself up against a wall, against a dense mass, a mass of - massive - critical mass of bodies - it's elapsing, I'm over it, I'm past it - (I'm outside) (you're outside) (we're all looking inside from outside) (I'm outside of it) (You're outside it) (we're outside of it) (we're up...) Going undercover, looking for the exit, or any other - a sign or symbol, if inconsequential, plastic utensil carving out a tunnel - call it, call it, call it, call it, call it, call it, call it, call it - is it really simply coincidence? Is it really simply coincidence? Ostensibly, from the surface... I can't find solid evidence against the claims they've been leveraging - I can't find it, not finding anything, I can't find mine... Enact the change you wanna / Exact the pain you wanna / You wanna bleed out of it / You wanna - Going undercover, looking for the exit, or any other - a sign or symbol, if inconsequential, plastic utensil carving out a tunnel - Didn't expect it, couldn't have guessed it, couldn't have solved to find the line of best fit - call it, call it, call it, call it, call it, call it, call it, call it - coincidence

MILLENNIAL HELL
05:47

It sounds fine but, but I'm not sure you see what's in front of you - when you arrive at, arrive at your destination will you believe the view? Bussing the tables as you plan, you plan your next franchise - come 30 years you'll be a dead fish floating, X's for eyes. Is it existential or material? X X X X X X X X. You'll be a dead fish, you'll be a dead fish floating too! Inside your golden, inside your golden inner tube, you'll be a dead fish too... I feel the future slipping away, color draining from the face, the face of it - sometimes I feel I'm running in place, an ever-quickening pace, quickening I'm, quickening it's, thickening it's... fried... I feel the future slipping away, color draining from the face, the face of it - sometimes I feel I'm running in place, an ever-quickening pace, quickening... and just as I start to see what's in front of me, just then it starts to seem slightly out of reach... Felt-tipped, please sign / initial on the dotted line / print out the waiver and submit it by / tiny disclaimer, tiny disclaimer - is it existential or material, the flesh or hyperreal, exposure or experience, I'm over being incidental

CAST ASPERSIONS
03:03
|

What's left to figure, to figure out about it? They say, "the scientists will fix it," but they've played this card before - been crunching all the numbers, churning their data into butter - pat their backs with self-congratulations - self-flagellating against our patience. Which world will you choose / which world will they excuse? They'll cast aspersions to consolidate their view, even against the observations they've collected in their own purview. Ham-fisted with their honey-baked conclusions, regardless of the information they'll insist their method's working... They'll cast aspersions

FAKE FATE

Call an optometrist cuz it's looking bad (cross-eyed crosshairs) Is it fluid resistance? Cuz it's a drag (slipshod soft pass) / Table's set / Contract's served / You wanted to sit there, you wanted to eat there / You wanted a seat there / Can you fix, fix a mess built on best, best impressions? Can you pick, pick and choose, can you find, find another? Can you stop second-guessing your initial gut reactions? Self-described, self-appointed, self-assured, self-destructive - Fake - Fate - Dead - Weight - Cue my line, I'll tell you in due time, I will find my own way in your game, I'll solve the game that you play - I'm not sure if it's okay - I'll wait - I'm not sure if it's okay - I'll wait. Can you fix, fix a mess built on best, best impressions? Can you pick, pick and choose, can you find, find another? Can you stop second-guessing your initial gut reactions? Self-described, self-appointed, self-assured, self-destructive

SPIRITUAL ADVI$OR
04:08

I watched you pull up those bootstraps, strongarm your way to a straw man you stuffed up (you stuffed yourself) combed back, combed back through the archives looking to find a premise to confirm your hypothesis... What's not proven as false doesn't mean that it's true - I don't think you know everything that you think you do (I'm not interested, not interest - I'm not interested, not interest - I"m not interested in - ) 2 and 2 is 4 is 5 is something I can't stand behind if I can't see the process, test the process, trust the process. I'm not interested in your "spiritual" bullshit manifested as wage-sanctioned quasi-"sage"... bluffing deadbeat visionary... reactionary... sponging idler... snake oil imbiber! Go ahead, carry on, right along, go ahead, carry on, right along, go ahead, carry on, right along, go ahead, carry on, right along... go away bad spirit, go away - go away bad spirit, go away - go away bad spirit, go away - go away bad spirit, go away - pseudo-professional! pretend exceptional! para-norm-core! incel-ellectual! pseudo-professional! pretend exceptional! incel-ellectual! I don't want your undercooked advice, I don't want to roll your magic dice, I don't want your undercooked advice. Go away bad spirit go away!!!

DAYGLO FUTURE LEAK
04:24

Sidestep into hindsight / dehydrated sunrise / future spreads before me, fans out like an oil leak - dayglo, like a traffic cone (try) (to) (find) (a way) Father, son and the disappearing coast (try) (to) (find) (a) - (keep) (your) (doubt) (at bay) Against false idols, against hope, against survival / Against the tightrope pulled between the ivory pylons / Hear you stutter, "just relaxing," I'm on hold, the light is flashing, I'm on hold, the light is flashing, I'm on hold, the light is flashing, I'm on hold but / When undecided, I check my vitals - I buy a vowel and tamp it down / When undecided, I totalize it - exaggerate it and let it swell (try) (to) (find) (a way) ((walking slowly on an icy lake trying to find a way to the place you think you can't be found, you can't be found, no one's around now)) the steady creep of lava-like unease ((go slow, please go, walk soft, go off, go slow, please go, walk soft, go off...)) (try to find a way to stay) (try to keep your doubt at bay) (the steady creep of lava-like unease) (try to find a way to stay) (to find a way to stay)
