the Ark

Just before the rains came down
We went about our lives
Then the skies they opened up
All the people went inside
And will it ever end
40 days and 40 nights
Isolation never stops. Will we ever see the sun?
Will we ever see our lives?
Just before the sun came out
We tried to rest our eyes
Then the light came crashing in
All the people went outside
And if it ever ends
Are we still there in the dark
Fading memories of when we couldn't see the sun
Towards the light we disembark

Half measures, that's all we've got
incremental moves carefully wrought
until our script ran out of twists
No one watching expected this
And all the onlookers who can't see the plot
Surface stenography. Impossibly lost
Now's the time when the cullings begin
Indiscriminately killing your heroes.
Switched up allegiances to a lost cause
Every last fixed point is suddenly gone
The critics have spoken and they're all confused.
"Deeply Unfocused. I was unmoved"
"Singular vision, random and bored"
"Poorly designed. Leaves us wanting more"
Now's the time when I hand it all off to
someone lesser without vision
Take this mess and wrap it all up
Give the people what they've been missing
Blow a hole in the side of the ship
Decimate the story that I built
Characters left with no conflcts
All their motivation stripped
All my motivation stripped
All the motivations stripped

Chaotic Dreams

When I turned on the lights
It's not for you
You've lost your mind
You've come unscrewed
It's not alright
You walked right inside
out of your head
inside my bed
don't know what you plan to do
Shaking up my peace with your chaotic dreams
Your false narratives and your erratic schemes
Telling everyone that you belong here when you don't
Telling us we have to leave when it's clear you won't
When I turned off the lights
In the dark I found
my shattered world had shaken me
kicking you out of my life
I'm still up here on the edge in this place you've taken me
Shaking up my peace with your chaotic dreams
Your false narratives and your erratic schemes
Telling everyone that you belong here when you don't
Telling us we have to leave when it's clear you won't

Dwell

And I find that I lose sleep
If in my dreams I try to speak
Saying things that make no sense
shakes me up, it shakes me up
And maybe I should crawl into my shell
If it looks like too far to fall, that's where I fell
Think I'm safer in your arms, in them I'm free from harm
But I'm prone to self-sabotage, wrecking everything
with one stray thought
When I say the things I feel
Everyone gets hurt
Can't afford to reveal
These things that have no worth
And maybe I should crawl into my shell
If it looks like too far to fall, that's where I dwell
I was safer in your arms, in them I felt free from harm
But I'm prone to self-sabotage, wrecking everything
with one stray thought
I feel like myself tonight
I feel like myself tonight
I feel like myself tonight
I'm not sure that that's alright
I feel like myself tonight
I feel like myself tonight
I feel like myself tonight
I'm not sure that that's alright
I feel like myself tonight
I feel like myself tonight
I feel like myself tonight
I'm not sure that that's alright
I feel like myself tonight
I feel like myself tonight
I feel like myself tonight
I'm not sure that that's alright

Picture boxes. In a row
Sitting with the older boys, wanna play with all their toys

Kept

Wake up yet again to these same four walls
Make your way out of bed
Drag yourself down the hall
And you are wild and free
Well, at least you were in your dreams
Staring down a ghost in the mirror only you perceive
Still the same old ghost from yesterday
Working your way through your head
You try and try to right yourself
And you're kept like a secret written in the dark
Left to hide inside these walls
Kept away from everyone
Stuck inside your head
It's taken far too long
Pull the curtains to the side
Find you're blinded

Stochastic Reality

Are you sure you want to submit?
Didn't you know you wanted it?
We can bend your will
You will never know
Random words to organize
Stochastic reality, ours to mold
You didn't know you wanted it
We can shape your thoughts
Come to find you didn't need
Anything not bought
Are you sure you want to submit?
Didn't you know you wanted it?
Are you sure you want to submit?
All decisions pass through us
Once we find we've gained your trust
Everything that you want is something that we know
Steer into what we need
Feeding you more dopamine
Say a word and we'll know you better than yourself
Are you sure you want to submit?
Didn't you know you wanted it?
Are you sure you want to submit?
Didn't you know you wanted it?
Are you sure you want to submit?

Terrible Protector

Here I come to take everything away from you
Sign the paper so I can suck you dry
In the corner, paranoid,
They're coming for me
Let me open the door
Terrible protector
Taking away all my joy
Who are you, I don't remember
I've been trapped here since December
Please don't leave, I need you now
To ruin my life for one more night
Here I stay
Keep you safe from the world outside
Sign the papers so you can suck me dry
Every day
I try and help you hold on to yourself
But I can feel our hands are slipping
In the corner, paranoid,
They're coming for me
Let me open the door
Terrible protector
Taking away all my joy
Who are you, I don't remember
I've been trapped here since December
Please don't leave, I need you here
To ruin my life for one more night
One more night...

Hey you…have an opinion?
And you're sure it's the truth? You're sure it's right?
I've got the place for you to live your life
I've got a place where you can fight your fight
All you've got to be is much, much louder.
But not so loud that they know to shut you down
You can say exactly what you want there
The things you say when we're not around
Everyone's got to be right now
Everyone's always right
Everyone's always right
On the internet
