lyrics

I’m super-reified
And I don’t really mind
If you didn’t realize
What kind of thoughts I had in mind
To share with you today
On this long hour
But I’ll do my best to make some sense of it all
But sometimes the only sense you can make is nonsense
But you’ve gotta keep in mind that nothing doesn’t make sense
Even if it’s absent of meaning
That doesn’t mean a thing, except
That sense doesn’t always mean something
When all you got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail
When all you got is a hammer, everything looks like a skull

Let’s all get a little bit caught up
All the junk that everybody bought up
Ain’t nothin but fish now, so every sweet girl and boy
Take all of your useless toys
Hand ‘em over back and forth
Before they wind up on the shores
Make all of your useless noise
And celebrate the uncelebrated
Instigate a tune elevated
Wake up in the dark, and tell your friends
There is no end, just a million starts
Put an end to finishing things
Begin everything endlessly
Even if you do it a bit pretentiously
Stand up, sit down, don’t do anything
Drop what you’re holding, jump really slowly

I’m a hyperbolic motherfucker
But I don’t really care that much for much at all
But sometimes I do and lots of stuff is just narcissism, for sure
But yeah I’m sure I’ve got something I really
Wanna needa gotta gonna say right now
So sit down please I don’t mean to be rude
I suppose you can stand, but stay right here

No before yes and life after no
Everything is guesswork with questions like clockwork
Sometimes I think to myself
I’m gonna throw away some time-wasting thoughts
Just choose a path at random
Say no before yes cuz I’m always gonna rearrange
The cut-and-paste coin-toss
I decide when I won or lost
I don’t really care about it
But every time I try to explain what I mean
I’ve gotta really, really mean what I’m explaining
And the fact is the deeper I get involved
In my own cyclical thoughts
The less I start to care
But it’s not cuz I’m lazy
It’s because I start to see the nonsense for what it really is:
A reflection of and interplay with the idiocratic world around me
Who’s crazy first? Me or the world around me
That wants to be instantly done with everything it starts
Before it begins,
Who’s crazy first? Me or the world around me
That wants to be instantly done with everything it starts
Before it begins, immediate consumption of a moment
Exploit the fleeting nature of the now
There is no presence
I said it before and after I said it
I don’t have to do it
I already said it
I don’t have to say it again
I just did

Let’s all get a little bit caught up
All the junk that everybody bought up
Ain’t nothin but fish now, so every sweet girl and boy
Take all of your useless toys
Hand ‘em over back and forth
Before they wind up on the shores
Make all of your useless noise
And celebrate the uncelebrated
Instigate a tune elevated
Wake up in the dark, and tell your friends
There is no end, just a million starts
Put an end to finishing things
Begin everything endlessly
Even if you do it a bit pretentiously
Stand up, sit down, don’t do anything
Drop what you’re holding, jump really slowly


I don’t really care
Cuz I’m not uncomfortable to say what I want
But I don’t actually know
Anything that would please me
The way I need to be satisfied
The things I need to be whole inside
Don’t exist anymore, never had a chance at lifting me
From glowing bloody gray
To a rooftop shouting
But that’s just romanticism
False nostalgia, ingenuine longing
A hostile way of blaming today
For something that never existed in the first place
Yes, I’m monotone
Cuz I don’t barely care
Just enough for this breath
Just a little less
Just a little…
Conflicted apathy

I’m running out of fear
I wish I could run like hell from here
But the fleeting pinned-downness
The illusively concrete
The mistaken sensation of something to stand on
Keeps cycling under my feet
You know it
And so does anyone who thinks about it
For just one moment before
Their face collides with the door
But there’s something ultimately concrete
About that very lack of solidity
Anyone you meet
Might say the same in other words,
It’s all we’ve got to stand on
Namely a very true uncertainty
The ground on which we stand
Is the sky above our heads
I’m well aware that everything goes over my head
And that’s the ground I stand on
That nothing is there to be understood
Nothing sits still under micro-gazing
But that doesn’t mean I’m crazy
It just means I’m human
It just means I’m awake
It just means that I finally fell into oneness with the absence of any
Working equation,
That’s my super-reification
Quick flash to pay off the chaos,
Me or the world around me
Quick flash to pay off the chaos,
Immediate consumption of a moment

Let’s all get a little bit caught up
All the junk that everybody bought up
Ain’t nothin but fish now, so every sweet girl and boy
Take all of your useless toys
Hand ‘em over back and forth
Before they wind up on the shores
Make all of your useless noise
And celebrate the uncelebrated
Instigate a tune elevated
Wake up in the dark, and tell your friends
There is no end, just a million starts
Put an end to finishing things
Begin everything endlessly
Even if you do it a bit pretentiously
Stand up, sit down, don’t do anything
Drop what you’re holding, jump really slowly
