Collapse

Devastating crumbling of the economy
Feeling the trembling side effects of a democracy
Multiple ruptures of one moment rumbling,
Sending shockwaves through the web of a
global interdependent society; structure
fraying and breaking down 

Elon’s monopoly,
power to the people,
we know it’s part of our cultural victory
like a pre-programmed atrocity

We misinterpreted spilling these raps as tapping till’ we fill till’ we cap
We don’t understand tilling these lands means filling these bags of sand to fill these gaps

Wet your pants
Other civilizations have came and went through scarcity

collapse of the synapse
starved for stimulation like the GDP
decreased in gratitude

If you feel different, that’s okay
Look around

What we’ve accepted as a norm is slowly destroying the planet
What we’ve accepted as a norm is quickly destroying the planet

Automobiles

We don’t shovel the snow, we just drive over it till we get stuck
then we’re fucked

Cities in a nuclear haze,
Unstoppable deathwave
Would you be prepared for a blink of extreme inconceivable heat as a way to leave?
Razed to the pavement

Too late to wake

The escalation made me realize we’ve always been this close
With enough time it will happen

Nobody knows what they’re doing 
And the only thing that you believe is we exist

Those who are more successful
have failed more times,
than those who are less successful.
Wear your failures with pride.
It’s a sign that you’re alive.

A Constant Plead For Consciousness

You almost slipped,
you almost fell
You almost took a crash
on your way there
orcould've been
your way to nowhere

focus
something must be done
your intuition rests
at the bottom of oceans
something floats to the top
controls you;
time continues
time stops.

It is true
that every destiny has its calling
there is only one place for you
therefore
to control what you can't control
is to control your destiny

Deadmau5:
Somewhere Up Here

04. WRITING

There's a secret I wanna show you
Let me take you into the garage.

What you see here,
these projects, these machines

What I've been working on here –
a new invention

I've been engineering.

I've been doing research for a while

This, a hyperpowered jet thruster,
…an antigravity flow chamber
still small enough to fit in the soles of your shoes.

Here ...biogradium steel component
endogrativity manipulator
 - a mobile propeller - 
(I've actually designed shoes 
for actual human flight) 

And
a shield
of invisibility 
to bypass TSA air space

I've been going outside at night.
I've gone a lot of places
Places of my dreams

I want to take you into the air
I want to show you the city, 
from above

Let's go back to Michigan
We'll cross the Lake.
imagine what the city looks like from far away
far across the glassy water, waves rippling
horizon to horizon

- - - - 

only water in sight
just hold on tight
We own the night

I remember 
as a little kid
standing at the flight deck of my oreo airship 
listening to “we will become silhouettes” 
before crashing into the sea of milk

You can really do anything;

alter reality

step by step

with the knowledge you ascertain

(Fading

effortlessly fading

into the blue sky)

there is a philosophy

not to hold any belief too strong

and everything is temporary -

time 

the difference:

you can decide to be happy

you must constantly be challenging yourself.

only water in sight
just hold on tight
We own the night
