lyrics

How to be inside the charred remains
of a failed new world?
And How to eat
off a carcass that's been picked clean
with the spectre of a million ghosts overhead
stolen, pillaged, judging,

How to believe
in a landscape of spectacle
where down means up or nothing at all
where down means up or nothing at all

How to love
in an atomized landscape
where most love only themselves?
And how do I learn
when true knowledge is
shunned and derided?
How do I grow,
when to grow means monetarily
as always...

break

How to have values
in a vortex of transmutation?

How to hope
with the historical sense haunting ever glimmer
haunting every glimmer?

And how to dream
when the daily stimuli fuses grey
amorphous nodes?

And how to grasp
when the material proves ever more vaporous?

and how to write
when cortex functions devolve before screens?

How to dance
to the beat
of the bombs on loop
(repeat)

How to sing
over the screams of a mothers last hug?
