When I was young I believed,
in someone who died for me.
Now all I want is to believe.
When I was young he loved me,
Twenty-five. Died on me.
Now all I want is to be free.
Now and then I get mad,
but mostly, just feel sad.
I wanna know.
Where's my Dad?

i heard an expert say that gratitude wuz healthy for the mind
i figure i cud use a healthy dose to help my soul unwind
i try to do my best to count my blessings down thru history
it's gonna take a while cuz when i look around here's wut i see
1. we have our knowledge, have our memes, we have our Internet
2. we have our yellowing retail outlets and Red Corvettes
3. we have our parents couches, T.V.s, granite counters -- Comfortable Homes
One Day they'll leave us here to Figure Out This Thing alone
Q: "What is the meaning of American Prosperity?"
A: "Go to the bank and take a loan to Buy Some Property!"
my grandpas father build a house to Raise a Family
i bought a New iPhone with cloud backup to Store Their Memory
my grandpas house is gonna tumble down and I won't even kno
Google computer Took a Photo of it just in case it does
one day that server's backups backup's gonna overheat and die
one day this Whole Damn Thing will fly back home thru some hole in the sky...
..BUT!
we have our knowledge, have our memes -- we have our Internet
so tired of yellowing retail outlets and Red Corvettes!
*we* bought a renovated inner city Instaready Home and
we're gonna leave our folks to Figure Out *Their* Shit alone
Q: "Wut is the meaning of any form of prosperity?"
Joke: "Go to the co-op, buy some veggies grown by Amish Folks"
my grandpas father built a house to Raise A Family
i bought a New iPhone with Cloud Backup to Store Their Memory
i bought a New iPhone with Cloud Backup to Store Their Memory

I'm Not God

I don't know why I insist on knowing.
But when I give up, I can feel it growing.
I'm so tired of echo chambers.
I build fences: words, forms, tools, games, pictures.
But I desire more than this projection
of interlocking finite systems.
No I am not God.
I am flightless
So, silver winged light,
leave me breathless.

You are kind, strong, brave.
Inner gold can't fade.
You work so hard.
How do you stay so soft?
There's light in you.
And I know why you go by your surname.
But I will try to know you like I used your first name.
Did you learn what I can't be all those miles across the sea?
I don't want to speculate.
I want to serve: to learn to wait.
And I know why you go by your surname.
But I will try to know you like I used your first name.

If one day I disintegrate into the air,
in Some Great Cloud of DMT will You find Me?
Cuz I know I'll never be at home in this small world
when every particle of me wants to return.
And I just can't care about the words
that people say about this world.
Cuz you are they way my heart falls out
when I look into their eyes.
And I know that I will never find
'the answer' or 'What I Desire.
Cuz you are the way the light rolls back
those glassy beads that draw my world.
And even if there is no You,
I still desire.
I still want You
And even if there is not Me
I still desire to be set free.

Oh, you poor pathetic wretch!
Spent 8 years on the internet just trying to earn respect.
And this is all you get.
Distracted empty eyes.
No longer lit up from behind.
You load your heart and wait.
But you know that it's too late.
Cuz there's somebody out there who's almost like you but they're better in every way cuz their not held back by all the fears that keep them from being you.
It's hard to admit but it's true.
It's why they don't Follow you.
So you wunna DIY?
To stare the future in the eye.
You'll stretch the mold just fine.
So get down and get online.
Your first 1K fans.
Imagine your work in their hands!
Thinking something you felt first
How's it feel to quench their thirst?
Cuz there's so many people they're almost like you but you're bigger in every way cuz you've defined for them something to think or to be or to do.
It's yucky to say but it's true.
It's why they all Follow you.
There's a handful of people determined to be someone. They built the programs to write your life story and save all the patterns and sell them like food.
They're the ones getting rich it's true.
Even if they Follow you.

Machine God this,
Pop God that.
Someday it will hurt to stand.
How 'bout that?
Someday you will lose a friend,
five or ten.
Someday it will hurt to bend,
and time won't mend.
Spirit pull me outside.
Take me to the shore.
Where consciousness and time-space blend,
make me end.
Dip my shiny self-made mask
in your foam.
Now the simulation ends.
Now I am.
A drunk man drove into my dad and he died.
So, I told my sister and she cried.
Before he went to prison the man he flew
down to the Bahamas, where he died too.
Spirit pull me outside.
Take me to the shore.
Where consciousness and time-space blend,
make me end.
Dip my shiny self-made mask
in your foam.
Now the simulation ends.
Now I am.
Spirit pull me outside.
Take me to the shore.
Where consciousness and time-space bend,
make me end.
Dip my fucking cold dead corpse in Your foam.
Meet me at the threshold God.
I wanna come home.
