Trick Baby

Secret plastic idle pear room
Put the lights out seven years
Hidden, obscure overthrow insert
Your hands up my skirt
Don't knock
Plume moth
Trick baby
Says no
Freedom, lie back, put it in, shut door
Nervous, touching filament
Goodbye milk teeth cradle cap veto
The quit rodeo

Sundown

Working all the time, unsubsidized
Collect your soul tonight
Working on decline, it’s televised
The lives get sold tonight
Sundown
Haven’t we run enough
Watch us fall in line, it’s normalized
Collect your soul tonight
Working on decline, it’s televised
The lives get sold tonight
Sundown
Haven’t we run enough
Fallin’ down keep
Fallin’ down
Don’t turn around
Keep fallin’ down

Decay
03:20
|
|||
|
Yellow rotten teeth
Crooked little smile
Gravity crush me
Grinding crack this crown
Haven’t caught a break
Been at it for days
How can a mouth frown
Look around around
Decay
The unbearable take
Picking up home shards
Saturated life
Remember not my place
To be so well trained
Disappointing age
A cracked orphan sound
Look around around

Idle Birds
03:53
|
|||
|
Beware beware
Enchanted humans
Prepare positions
Play the disorder
Throw out your arms
Conditions wrong
Without a promise
leave empty handed
No apology
Desperate hands
Desperate hands
In the bush
Don’t engage them
We will not be idle birds
The street locks me
That man is cement
Drawn out of plywood
Powder blue violence
Words foul free
They too are fingers
Full of loaned power
Let’s blow their cover
Static sleep
Static sleep
Be serene
Wake up vacant
I’m out never functioning

Gaslit
01:32
|
|||
|
This life is panic
We’re sinking in dark water
You say it’s fine
In spite of all this we have not gone off the rails
We’re not losing our minds
So we haul ourselves through
every fucking day
Swept away
By love and terror *
In spite of all this we have not gone off the rails
We’re not losing our minds
*excerpt from Museum of Accidents by Rachel Zucker

Space Garbage
03:29
|
|||
|
Can we death out
go live in hills
fortresses, forests, temples
Cosmic compost
Satellite signals
Normals unhinged
Former business pigeons
Is this all we’ve ever been?
Devolving tribes
Resource wars
Waiting for a striking meteor
Constructing potholes
Paving mass havoc
Normals unhinged
Former business pigeons
Is this all we’ve ever been?
Multiplying information
Multiplying information
No more reason
No more caution
Failure finds the future faster
Space garbage

Zero
02:31

|
Tell a machine zero
Just fake the dream zero
It all tastes like zero
It's up to you
Good for nothin’
Good for nothin’
You know you’re gonna pay
Dreamy, plastic, we chaos you
It’s what you’ll get zero
You will regret zero
Arriving soon zero
Think that through
Dreamy, plastic, we chaos you
Everything labeled valued tagged and sold

Ground Control
05:35
|
|||
|
Please answer
What changes
On the ground
Better not make a sound
That was then
We saw you coming
We’ll watch you go
Need a little runaway
We’re calling are you out there?
