Let It Call You

LET IT CALL YOU—GO AROUND YOU
FAR
A-
LONG
THIS
YOU’LL
NEVER BE
WITHOUT
IT
Where you are
Plugged into everything else
Tends to start
To come apart, as the 20’s unveil
See the signs, tendons writhe
Second life, monetized
You gotta wake up, wake up, wake up
Before they drive the stake up, stake up, stake up
They won’t wait up for you
They’ll upgrade, they’ll push through
Our bodies underneath
A field to sow and reap
LET IT CALL YOU—GO AROUND YOU
Flip through these apps one more time—with no sign
I lay around alone these days to unwind
Stack up these tabs and combine—oh yeah it’s all on my dime
Rent out my eyes to Google Mind, yeah I click the checkbox every time
Don’t read, just check, got the number in my head
Should be easy to forget but I gotta get it
LET IT CALL YOU—GO AROUND YOU

Whoa Wait
02:53

Conflate the rows / The descending flows
The convergent wave / It could all be OK
Just take control / With no foothold
No self involved / No way
WHOA, WAIT—yeah I know I gotta
WHOA, WAIT—but I just really wanna
WHOA,WAIT—and even though I gotta
WHOA—I just can’t
The whole game flips another switch
You try to fight back but it sets up
A pitfall built for your best: fucked all the way up
You all give your all to it and expect
Say you’re gonna do it for the rest
Every body’s fighting for a little se…ction of the flow now
Rock on top to the West
Baby make the sun set
Yeah you know you make me wanna invest
I keep banking on your sex
Strapped up top with the vest
Hooked up to your lungs for the stress
For the hell of it, baby you’re the best
Only you know what’s next
Expend it all / The outflow / Forgiven, gone / Let the wind blow
Stuck in some kind of situation
No plan to ever escape it
Let come and let be completed
We’re all a kind of machine
We’re all a kind of a theme
We’re all inside of a dream
Whatever it is I’ve about had it
Let it call you to wheverever it’s headed
Taking us over it’s coming to pass
Two thousand twenty will total that ass

On Wreck
02:02

Face your mic stand to the West,
Think about all of this death
You could check out with a patch
Put your neck out for the stretch
Put your whole life on wreck
What’s the upside of this
While I’m still drawing breath
Slowly accruing debt
Slowly I pay it back
Life like a wheel in a wheel, turn around, it’s real
No way out when you fear
Helpless fool when they hit the groove
& remind you how to feel
F-fortless, gotta make the pain go away
E-ven though it’ll all come around again
N-dless boredom is what we’re condemned to
T-deious torture, hope you can see it through
A is for anhedonia creeping
N-ter a mood too exhausted for weeping
Y did it all have to be this way
L-dest disease and yes we all fall prey
I can’t face it, whatever’s underway
Let it break in and bleed into today
I see you freak and you take me all the way
You let me leave it and I’m on my way
Life like a wheel in a wheel, turn around, it’s real
No way out when you fear
Helpless fool when they hit the groove
& remind you how to feel

Neglect Not The Body
02:58

NEGLECT NOT THE BODY
FOR THE BODY WILL GET DOWN
FORGET YOU HAVE A BODY
LET IT BREAK UP AND BREAK DOWN
Feel the stitch in your back again
Been looking for ways to win
Mountain climbing with a dead leg
Higher than I’ve ever been
I can not make this up
Sometimes I just double down
Flit between in and out
Crossing lanes crosstown
I feel it in my wrist sometimes
While peeling on citrus rinds
I sacrifice to the wifi
Every vice of the timeline
Gotta get it out, go work it out
Feel it out yo
Sit-flesh degrading to corpse
Forgetful animals forfeit
NEGLECT NOT THE BODY
FOR THE BODY WILL GET DOWN
FORGET YOU HAVE A BODY
LET IT BREAK UP AND BREAK DOWN
Tech = stress on the animal
Expending panel of sensory data
Stress leads to seeking releases
Ever extremer and never what’s needed
It’s never the answer
You would never know unless you were falling
Kills more people than cancer
More people than cars, it’s appalling

On My Phone / Accelerate
03:26

Why
Did you leave us so long to settle upon
A fixed point
Where we could stay for a while & then we go on
Why
I don’t know what to do
Without you
The feed scrolls on
And all up on it
On my phone
I’d been looking for it
For so long
I’d been waiting all about it
On my phone
Check for the absence of the messages
But dead on arrival they’re already gone
We’ve got satellites connecting us
But why won’t you come up when I know you’re alone
Why
I don’t know what to do without you
It goes on, loud:
ACCELERATE, WHO KNOWS YOUR FATE, YOU GOTTA WAIT
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT’LL BE ON YOUR PLATE
AND GOD’LL WAIT, LET GO AN HOUR LATE
IT’S OVERRATED, YEAH I GOTTA ACCELERATE
Pace of life too much too fast
Whoa, wait—it’s too late to act
Born this way, plugged in, online, hacked
As a matter of fact, from a long way back
Can you feel it in the mad pace of the action when it flows?
Can you feel it when your wrist or back aches like never before?
I did not sign up for this but I must keep pace with it
I did not sign up for this but I must make peace with it
