Who allowed the popup window?
page will not load
resolving host, giving up the ghost
no problem solved
Bad faith has become the new religion,
everyone’s their inauthentic self
just follow herds, you’d better mind your words
and put your second life back on the shelf
these are the last days of the internet
it’s over now
You have become an algorithm
a file too corrupted to download
error found, account gone to ground
unlearning code
Away with the pixels
you heard memetic rhythms in your head
you joined some cloud we later disavowed
the civil dead
You should have crowdsourced your neurosis
where moral panic never sleeps
surveillance state of pure exhausted hate
no problem solved
these are the last days of the internet
don’t get involved
So I accepted all the cookies
and then I sniffed the ethernet
page not found, just vultures on the ground
CTRL + ALT + forget
These are the last days of the internet
it’s broken now

I don’t need the light to see the way
I’ve been talking to the dead and it’s okay
But I can’t stay
I’ve got to make another day
And now I don’t need the light to see the way
There are things that won’t stay underground
Like the eternal serpent and ancestral hound
But I can’t stay
I’ve got to shake out of the clay
And now I don’t need the light to see the way
Don’t need the light
To see the way
I don’t need the light to see the way
Already spoken to the dead and they’re okay
But I can’t stay
I’ve got to make another day
And now I don’t need the light to see the way
Don’t need the light
To see the way

The Love Commandments
04:29

Baby, put your little hand in mine
It's time for me to stop your crying
Amaze me, and I’ll show you who you are
Every man and woman is a star
Come and tell me what the Love Commandments are
Come on down, and join my little cult
We’ll find out what the Master felt
The world has only fooled you till today
I’m going to set the record straight
Come and tell me what the Love Commandments say
Today, for today
Can you tell me what the Love Commandments are?
Come on over, don’t be dubious and strange
You don’t remember – you’re an Angel
Tell me you’ve got something on your mind
Are you the Love Commandment kind?
Are you the Love Commandment kind?
Oh your mind, and you’re mine…
Come and tell me what the Love Commandments say,
And then stay, and stay.

The Nerve

You’ve got a lot of nerve to do those things you do
I never had a whole lot, but now I think I do since I met you
You just seem so relaxed when you got it goin’ on
You always stick to facts, yet the tales you tell enthral me to the dawn
I had a lot of nerve to ask you to be strong
No other girl I know could carry half the clothes that you put on
I like to sit with you and eat the stuff you cook
I like the taste of you, and girl you know I like the look
You got a lot of spunk my spunky little friend
Look how we’ve gotten drunk, you on me and me on you again

Metaphor

She gets up from her purple chair
Shows you planets in her hair
For tonight you’re in her care
She’ll hold you tight
It'll all come out tonight
The perfect Metaphor
Is that what you met her for
The Muse you just adore
Don’t get too fresh
Or you’ll never get the rest
She’ll guide you to the spot
She’ll show you where it’s hot
Might let you take the lot
And put it in your picture
Stick it in your song
Put it in your picture
Stick it in your song
