i dream, i dream for resolute
i long to have been there all along
i wish to see the way that whales see;
to feel you across oceans with my song
to feel you across oceans with my song
but i can’t make a sound
i plan, i planned to understand
but lately i feel “left outside to swim”
if only i could see like a bumblebee
the nectar lights the centre of my eye
the nectar lights the centre of my eye
but my eyes are bound

everything is melting, everything is melting but
lets pretend that everything i do is helping
i got the latest fashion so thats all that matters
follow me on instagram and look @me make sushi platters
everything's collapsing, everything's collapsing
lets all turn our heads and pretend it aint happenin
look at all the likes i got, i feel
so awesome
dopamine feels good to me
and helps anxiety to blossom
im at home in my phone
mindlessly scrolling, watching time rolling by
wealth controls the masses with a good distraction
i present to you: two monkeys overreacting
here comes another hurricane, it must be “godsent”
petroleum is good to me, gotta throw away any evidence
im at home as a drone
mindlessly trusting habits of rusting life

come one, come all, come sit and watch the raindrops fall
through the glass all life shows signs that pass us by
today i wait, tmr im on automate
cuz we’re never here
thoughts are a symptom of fear
with eyes closed i am far from where i play
each moment like a question tainted by yesterday
now i live in dreams of then and nightmares of yesterday
i pray for nowadays to be the same
be the same way
with eyes closed i am far from where i play
each moment like a needless question tainted by yesterday
always asking
mind like a stream
always trapped in dreams
but when it comes time
when it comes time to live
where am i then?

is this an illusion that we dream and build up?
meaning just a thing that we make to feel full?
download your brain onto a card and feel lit
feel forever, no “death-do-us-part”, no organs
robots can live forever without breathing
