there was a day
where the measurement of beauty
was to recognize the story
behind a stranger's face
but nowadays
with a lack of jubilation
we suspect a simulation
using terminology like
"an npc is watching me"
"an npc is watching me"
deja vu
like a dream with no direction
we recognize connections we can't articulate
jamais vu
there's a mass derealization
our memories were written
or simply lost their taste
"an npc is watching me"
"an npc is watching me"
watching me

there's something out there
i've never seen before
that beckons me to view it
and i cannot resist it
the flutter of a dove and a
white winter rose
i see a silhouette and
i see familiar clothes
but my calendar just drifts away
i've become a man of routine
there's always something
there's always something

i'm glued to the tube
i can't get enough of this view
american fools
they're feeling so down
their hopes are so up
the focus group loves this stuff
you're head over heels again
but you haven't met her yet
you spend every crypto coin
for girls on the internet
the twins and the whites
grandmas
strange people are filming their lives
and meanwhile producers twisting the knife
squirming with sadist delight
you're head over heels again
but you haven't met him yet
you spend every crypto coin
for boys on the internet
i've seen enough
i've seen enough
i can't turn it off
i've seen enough
i've seen enough
i can't turn it off
i've seen enough
i've seen enough
i can't turn it off
i've seen enough

with open eyes participate
in duties of the day
we move our mouths and move our feet
these are the parts we play but
i can't pretend i like you
but i'll do what i'm supposed to
i always get the job done
you can't fake the fun
as i work through the avenues
i cannot see an ending
it's just the same it ever was
i will do anything but
i can't pretend i like you
but i'll do what i'm supposed to
i always get the job done
you can't fake the fun

GARBAGE WORLD

lose my temper, use my anger
calling calling for a new master
that won't "back the blue"
won't chew and screw
won't beg me for fifteen dollars
we live in a garbage world
and you cannot change it
no! no you better like it
we live in a garbage world
if you can afford it
then you're gonna love it
m.s.r.p.
my temper
and my anger are calling calling
for a new master
we live in a garbage world
and you cannot change it
no! no you better like it
we live in a garbage world
we live in a garbage world
and if you survive it,
i hope that you like it!
m.s.r.p.

BETTER
02:14

Was it long ago that things were better?
As the years go by, what do you remember?
Empty promise in an unread letter?
Or the nagging thought that he might not have met her?
Are you pleased with how your life has changed?
Or was it better than today?
I woke earlier than i expected
(gloom)
And I watched the sun
And wondered when the end is
(it could be soon)
I felt small, i felt tender
But now and then I will again remember
That I'm pleased with how my life has changed
It wasn't better than today

i think it's possible though
ever cyclical that
what comes down will always
come around again but
i just don't believe it
i feel my mood retreat
the pattern just repeats
i got my cortisol on fleek
the pattern just repeats
i thought her name was faye
i thought her name was phaedra
i thought her name was faye
i thought her name was phaedra
i think it's beautiful that
something beautiful can
be so difficult and
make you miserable but
i just do not need it
i feel my mood retreat
the pattern just repeats
i got my cortisol on fleek
the pattern just repeats
opened up and all i got was this shirt
at least i got the shirt

goodbye to personal space
goodbye productivity
goodbye to your pets and kids
goodbye to the family
hello to the cost of gas
hello to traffic
hello to the packed elevator
hello to getting sick
we're going back to the office
back to the office
back to the office
come on back
goodbye to going for a walk
hello to the smallest talk
goodbye to meet and zoom
hello to sharing a bathroom
goodbye to opening windows
hello to hiding tabs
goodbye to so much good
hello to so much bad
we're going back to the office
back to the office
back to the office
come on back
we need to watch you
you must come back
we need to watch you
you must come back
we need to watch you
you must come back
we need to watch you
you must come back
we need to watch you
you must come back
we need to watch you
you must come back

AMERICAN EYES
02:18

i was born in the sea
can i control my misery?
caught in between the ebb and flow of dreams
palpitations pressurize when they look me over with american eyes
wake me up when the story's over
wake me up when we're moving on
unlock my dream
through dirty nails and scraped knees
'til i believe that the mirror is me
we were born in the east
now we control our misery
build up the beast from under the knee
palpitations pressurize when they look me over with american eyes
wake me up when the story's over
wake me up when we're moving on
palpitations pressurize when they look me over with american eyes
wake me up when the story's over
wake me up when we're moving on
