lyrics

I’m coming back from the gates of hell,
Dark side, pride, rebel,
where most my friends dwell,
Ends swell,
All’s well that ends well,
He means well,
But do they justify the ends,
Making funny friends,
He begins to offend,
Baptizin' the bastards a little bit faster,
Updatin’ the slave to master,
Nows the times to start a new chapter,
After we mend our habits and trends,
Wake up tomorrow and do it again,
Craftin’ and draftin’ a world to live in,
So we are no longer living in sin,
From a thou, to an it, to a then,
Determined to be what we’ve always been,
The more we control,
The more that we hold,
The more that we tighten our grip,
The more that we slip,
The more that we slide back and trip,
Oh captain my captain, no caption is fit,
We’re all going’ down with this ship, oh shit,
Long after the factor,
Reductionist blabber,
And long after the last partial split,
Egads, no monads, so what then is wit,

Programs, Social construct,
(Life is just a process)

You know I didn’t choose my parents or my time and place of birth,
I’m just a a thrown object, shown objects, tryin’ to find their worth,
They call me frisky, Frisky Dirt,
I’m the power of the planet, god damn it I put in work,
This means,
Were biological machines,
Created by genes,
Minds programmed by memes,
This means,
You don’t have ideas, these ideas have you,
And your sick on the shit like a cognitive flu,
This means,
Thoughts manifest as actions,
And as they gain traction,
People split into fractions,
This mean,
Theres a war of ideas with followers and leaders,
Understanders and believers, It’s true,
And have you thought about it man,
Do you think you understand,
Why you think and act as you do,

(Life is just a process)
Programs, Social construct


Human beings are literally the universe,
After some 14 billion years of unbroken evolution,
Now becoming conscious of it’s self,
We didn’t come into the world we grew out of it,
In the same way that apples grow out of an apple tree,
We are organically related to the whole,
4 billion years ago the earth was molten rock and now it sings opera,
You take a grey cloud of hydrogen gas and you just leave it alone,
And it becomes rose bushes, giraffes, and human beings,
Human beings are literally the universe,
After some 14 billion years of unbroken evolution,
Now becoming conscious of it’s self,
(Michael Dowd quoting Brian Swimme)

Being this isness, existence,
This shiznits my business,
In tenses’s relentless,
My project, Projection,
Include some rejection,
I AM this movement,
This moments perfection.
In an absolute since,
But from a relative perspective there's plenty to fix,

Yes I move through matter, through songs and gun splatter,
Through digits and data, even daily charter,
Through widgets and habitats, telling kids you can’t have it back,
Just to see what they do,
I Try this, and test that,
And buy this, and stress that,
Rip this, and sell this,
And self is so selfish and held back,
So fuck that, I get this, I want that,
I see you, you see back,
I need you, you need back,
We be that, believe that,
Now lean back and chill,
Cause I’m about to spill,

I myself am a philosopher,
Now am I saying that a sizable minority of the worlds population has had their brain hijacked by parasitic ideas,
Oh it worse then that, most people have, their infectious, memes, memes are like viruses, it’s ideas that hijack our brains,
hosts work hard to spread these ideas to others, the idea of replicating ideas, ideas that spread b passing from brain to brain.
(Dan Dennett)
