Everything's so tenuous
I don't know how to grasp what's real, anymore
Should I just escape my job
Or should I just keep speaking in tongues
And I don't know
What you think
We are not the automatons you seek
And I don't know
What you need
We won't bust our jaws now
Banging tom toms at your feet
You had seemed so genuine
Like a fire on a hillside
Caught myself speeding down
Wading through the canopy
New anxieties and entropy everything's so fast and loud
Oh...what's happening to me?
These idolatries
These frivolities
These toxic ideologies
These materialities
That don't mean a thing
This crippling disease
There is no vaccine
I get so wrapped up
I forget how to speak
I need to plant a garden
I need some relief
I'm forgetting how to cry
I don't know if I'm happy
Or guarded or something in between
I keep crashing in my dreams
I keep f**ing in my dreams
I keep dying in my dreams
I keep forgetting how to dream
I have to remember to dance
In the belly of this burning machine
