about

I released a proto version of this in 2020 called "Say a Thing" which is not hard to find if you are looking in the right places, but isn't that always true? Also there is a swear.

lyrics

I keep track of my consumption
For use in later math
Let alone my core assumption
That it clarifies the path

I monitor my vital signs
Noticing the trends
I'm coloring inside the lines
And straightening the bends

I don't just wanna burn it down unless I do
Someone's beat me to it
All of you

Thanks for choosing in a block
Your serpent-headed friend
Until your other figurehead
Decides to come again

I'll be counting while you wait
The beans against the thaw
But nothing I can calculate
Trumps what you think you saw

You made a wish to burn it down and it came true
Start dancing til it catches up with you

And it will and when it does
That we all said it would won't make a sound
Except to lock us out
Of all those cities you built underground

Did you sanctify the water,
Or is it there to keep your kids alive?
While I run mine into the light
You were right that something would arrive

My numbers came back yesterday
This new routine is clever
"keep it up," the doctors say
You'll live for fucking ever.
