Build by the water
I spent my money
So it’s mine
Build by the water
I want it today
It better arrive
Ground or sea or flight
Someday
Are you free at all?
Can’t tell wrong from right
I can see behind you

Pleasure

I can try to limit my ways
But convenience got the best of me
The ongoing conflict tears at the seams of my head
Taking my mind as collateral
She told me I should get with the program, “try to ignore it.
Your agony’s an extravagance.”
Fucking up everything in my life
In my life
Everyday I live is an act of violence
I can’t tell who it reaches
The consequence of pleasure is an abstraction
Always out of focus
Fucking up everything with my life

Right, my right
To get off on a thread on Reddit for angry whites
High, so high
I shot it up
Got enough stimuli
Might as well ignore your kids and wife
Bye bye
To get off on a thread
To get off on a thread
Sources of my consumption conveniently opaque
Prime, click by
And lead me away from me
‘Til I’m no longer here
‘Til I’m no longer here

Albedo / No Solace
07:05

They’re falling like dominoes
Fading to the black
Trying to take it all back to the enemy
Isn’t it harrowing to get off the track?
In a perfect world I’d be terrified
But I feel just fine; I can do anything
Like the albedo tells me so
I reflect that light; don’t want any of it
Lately I am hating you
You are the one to blame
But it’s all the same at the end of it
Cognitive dissonance on full display
All my meditations are buried in the ground
Pure forms of wisdom hardly make a sound
In a perfect world I’d be terrified
But I feel just fine; what is happening?
Like the albedo, that skin tone
Reflects that light away from me
Mom and Pa wrote me a check
So I can get into the black
Insisting I deserve it, they place it in my hand
But I can’t forget
The smell of her hair in my sheets
As fresh as the indifference she left me as a parting gift
Tears me apart from within
Without saying a single word
I clear the wells of my conscience
And stretch the boundaries of my head
To make room for her to come back again
Any day now (5x)
No solace in the world
Because the world is indifferent

Build by the water
I’ve spent my money
So it’s mine
Build by the water
Clear the marshlands
And feed it to the next poor soul
Who wants to have it all

The Great Derangement
05:40
|

I think I nearly lost my head
Finding the question
Proposition of a different kind
What a sensation
Daily acts of violence
By good samaritans
Firing rounds off a lifeboat
Until they puncture the plastic
Somewhere in the American heartland
Sits an author, pen in hand
Momentarily appalled by her children
Seemingly she was deranged (5x)
Seemingly she chose to leave

Maybe I’ll turn my luck around
I ought to know by now
In time we’re done
You are hopeless; so am I
So why the exercise
Of loving you at all?
Will I see you disintegrate
As we go hungry?
Can we just go about our shit
Passing through life?
