Coherence 03:33
Turing test Talk to myself I misunderstood I could swear there’s someone there Answering questions Like I probably would Even when I ran so wild Outside the machine I could feel there’s someone there Hands on the joystick Pulling on the strings Round and round but you’re never really got outside Round and round just be happy that you got to try You’re always running and you got so far this time Get back to breaking I am still What got me here I am sure of this I can tell there’s someone there Maybe coherence Is just a software trick On and on and on Cycling inside cycles Searching for the end Here again You’re here again

Don’t look any farther out than what you haven’t seen Focused on the objects not the spaces in between I can see my shadow it’s a million miles across Diluted and entangled in a million quantum dots Tell me everything is sideways Tell me that you don’t see what people say they see And it’s not just me Help me I’ve lost touch with the anatomy I’m in Wearing information like an exoskeleton I’m done burning In this digital debris It’s all plastic and fake sweet And it’s not just me If this is everything I have seen enough
3.
Tired drooping eyes Blinking through the probing wires I’m a battery Bleeding off and feeding power to the sky Nobody left to say goodbye I won’t say nothing I won’t cry I’m a bonfire I’m a battery I am shrapnel in your eyes Break down your reasons, tell me what you’re fighting for Ten thousand pieces scattered all across the floor Can’t call me worthless, I’ve been called much worse before Break down your reasons, tell me what you’re fighting for Frail ailing bones Nothing left to carry on Silent shattering Now I’m choking on the cables down my throat Bitter metallic and cold

Unravelled 04:57
Stomach tied in a knot Swallow animal thoughts Inarticulate feelings Shaking out of my skin Choking cold cryogen Invisible ceiling Biochemical leads Machines learning to feed Computational leeches Come unraveled Come apart Come unraveled Join us in the dark Can’t get my fingers to work Biomechanical Turk Unreliable reaches Another shot in the dark Imperceptible sparks Anatomical panic I’m screaming out of my lungs My mouth is dusty and dumb Muddy and manic Stomach tied in a knot Swallow animal thoughts Inarticulate feelings Dark deep memories of burning Darkly burning through my mind The actuators stir The motors hum and whir Synthetic and bionic, artificial and atomic Unraveled Electronic I’m alive

All of the beautiful colors Spinning around in my head Damaged and daydreaming daily Damaged and deaddreaming days Damaged and dreaming Me and whose army is holding me back Me and whose army who’s holding me back All of the strangling tangles Wrapping around all the trees All of the slithering cables Looking for something to squeeze Looking for something Pulling apart all the tangles Ripping apart at the seams Sucking the air for it’s power Choking the roots for their dreams Pulling the power

Down Falling down long enough It’s starting to feel Just like I’m holding still Down Broken and falling down Eyelids are closed The metal gleam glistering Down Broken and falling down Eyelids are closed As if you were listening Down Not towards the center now Under the mud The metal gleam glistering Plastic and dopamine Blood guts and gasoline Half me half machine Pick apart the pieces if there’s something left to save You’re dancing on my grave
7.
Asleep with the neon jet noises I wake with these words on my lips I am wild I sing and I weep to the camera I carve it with ink in my skin I am wild A crack in the plaster is spreading I think that I’ll leave it alone Remember please don’t forget I am
