Autonomous Zone

You never said that it could be replaced
I never knew that we could be erased
And you're on your own
But if the sentence is a way to waste
A living allegory in its place
Can we ever know?
There is a vision of the Samothrace
They kept me here to help eliminate
The autonomous
I never needed any hesitation
Everything is in its way the same
As it ever was
And it's okay, it's okay...
But when we never gave a hand a cage
We very nearly set the walls aflame
And it's all you know
I didn't think that it would be a phase
That everybody kept their wings displayed
And we all go home
And it's okay, it's okay...

Ada

She's the Bun on a run
She's the bun chunnarunk
She's the Duchess Bunnachunk, it's true
She went and pet a chicken
Baby mind blown then
You know she's the sweet Baby Goo
So the Bun rode a train
Didn't have to explain
That Bun on a train on the track
Then the sweet Baby Goo
What else did she do?
Ate guac, that is true, smack smack
Ada, Ada, Baby Goo, I love you
Then the Bun comes home
And she smiles at the phone
And a lullaby bump for you
And then a sweet Ada Tater
Baby Ada dream about a gator
Hey potato face, sweet Blue
Is it a bird or a plane?
Or a helicopter mang?
It's the Moon, es Le Lune, es La Luna
But that sweet Bun such
A good kid, what what
Konk konk, nose, kiss, I love you
Ada, Ada, Baby Goo, I love you
She has a mom that I love
I'm a hawk, she's a dove
Though sometimes that's not true
But we both love to snug
Cuddle that baby bug
Back it up, rub my butt on you
Ada, Ada, Baby Goo, I love you

Seeing Like A State
04:32
|
|||
I dug your nails in your arm
No blood but they left a mark
You came to no harm
But I still have the scars
You hit me first but complained
And landed me in suspension
Because illegible pains
Rarely merit attention
And now the lessons endure
Although the song doesn't change
You're measured or you're ignored
An indefensible claim
And everyone in between
Invisible or unseen
We optimize our machines
With only what we perceive
These metaphors hide crucial depth
But it's our lot to live with it
Our egregores cannot protect
The small and large they can't detect
When they're seeing like a state
They say they squeaky wheel's greased
Campaigns get people released
But when they're no one around
Then that tree don't hit the ground
And history's written by victors
And evidence is suppressed
Unless it registers Richters
Expect it lost like the rest
The integers rule common math
But reals are far the larger set
Your algebra cannot contain
The novelty we generate
When you're seeing like a state

Whispering At Night
06:35
|

You never came when I called
You never talked to the doll
You never saw me at all
I fated both of us hastily
You knew the taste
We'd never go missing
But all I see is eyes and why
I only see the sky for flies and light
You only recognize...
I said let's play chess
You said "You digress"
We met with a wall
I wasn't nine at the time
You were so fine
And right with it all
But all we need is wine, and I
Will very likely write the sigh
I heard you whispering at night...

The 120th Shrine
04:06

Where is the 120th shrine?
I searched everywhere on a map that I found online
But I still can't find
Gonna lose my mind
I like to think that I'm a pretty smart guy
But I look and I look and I still don't see
So I must be blind
I've spent too much time
Trying to find this shrine
I gotta get a life
I stayed away from games and I got outside
For seventeen years I learned guitar
And deep insights
But then my wife cut me a line
And I pressed rewind
Now I'm up at 5 and I don't know why
Except I'm stuck at 119 and Jesus, I can't abide
On a diatribe
Gotta find that shrine or I'm stuck behind
Michael, will you please just go to bed?
I did not consent to losing you to this game
You know we have two kids
And this foolishness is
Strangely reminiscent
Of Jurassic World Alive
Heard my high school BFF found 'em all and I
Am consumed by a spirit of competition that isn't right
I got Eventide on my very first try
But where is that shrine?
Sooner or later my stamina wheel will redline
And I'll reach the point where I'll face the facts and must decide
If I wanna die on the hill of the 120th shrine

Frog Seven Green
04:51
|

The webbing between
All of the galaxies
Mapped by a slime mould
God, am I getting old?
The rupture of scene
Each time you grab the ring
Leaves you out in the cold
Lost in the manifold
The sequence is green
We're on the silver screen
Caught in a chokehold
Got by the kobolds
But we made it free
From all the majesty
Surrounding our boat
Our shady little toehold
And found release
Creative constraints? Please!
With the deer and the kestrels
Two moose and a wild girl...
