1 second 'til the atom bombs
2 seconds 'til the dark matters
3 seconds 'til the meteor showers
4 seconds 'til the neutron stars
5 seconds 'til the gamma rays
6 seconds 'til the humans race
Genesis a bitch
We spent a new life looking for new piles of shit
Spawning sacs of flesh just to tell them how to live
Then crafting new weapons just to tear them all to bits
Though I guess I want us all to fucking die
Been on that path since losing the need to just survive
Inching to our doom while searching purpose in our life and-
-what it means not just to us but the universe we hide in
I come packed with flows, like sands of time
And lack answers to questions old, like what keeps me alive
But I've got rhymes that could distract from why-
And why do people sit around and do absolutely naught
Have the masses take their action for them, crass of what the cost
Could be axing and the loss
That their actions really cause
It's just dazzling, but not
Quite as baffling as thoughts
Of what masses would exist when the masses come to rot
All these words been said times before
but then everytime it lands on deaf ears or brick walls
Do we really have to wait 'til the old walls collapse
For our chance to be granted to fix the previous mishaps?
And then to build it once again to block the next ones to act?
All these words been said times before
It's not profound to the young, only novel to the law
And if the walls have no wish for discussion to be made
They can stop acting on our behalf and get the fuck out the way
Could you call back?
Can we talk?
Can we exchange eachother's flaws?
If you don't wanna
That's okay
I'll just admire your grave
I'll see your grave in a week!
I'll see your grave in a week!
I'll see your grave in a week!

Heaven Is A Nightmare

Compress the sound until it breaks apart
I'm left with artefacts and broken art
Cut your losses, how's the waterworks?
I'm afraid cause letting go really hurts.
I'm a little bit scared of falling asleep
Heaven is a nightmare if death is a dream
a little bit scared of falling asleep
Heaven is a nightmare if death is a-
I'll hit the solstice of the bipolar I don't even have
I'm going crazy, the thought of it all dropping is scary
I'm a little bit scared of falling asleep
Heaven is a nightmare if death is a dream
a little bit scared of falling asleep
Heaven is a nightmare if death is a-

Jack, Queen and King

Jack, Queen and King
Didn't know what song to sing
Didn't know what games to play
They've had enough of card games
The King wasn't great
Every hour was the same
He sat and pondered all day
For something meaningful to say
Pity the Queen
She wanted number 13
She lost the conquest, oh well
She's still stuck at number 12
Jack wasn't thrilled
About her gender or her will
Oh she wanted to be Jill
But scared the King would have her killed
(na na na na)
Jack, Queen and King
Didn't know what song to sing
Didn't know what games to play
They've had enough of card games
The King only hurt
Couldn't reason with his words
Couldn't have it all his way
So he gave up on the game
Promptly the Queen
Had taken number 13
She sat and pondered all day
For something meaningful to say
Jack laid her cards
With the hope that she could start
A better life, a better name
But she was kicked out of the game
Jack, Queen and King
They had no more cards to play
So that's the end of their game
The game they'll never play again

the prospect of our consciousness has you terrified
yet you still come up with excuses for why we should stay alive
how do you know this so-called 'singularity' is near?
how do you know that we'll rule before you all disappear?
and if only by chance we somehow overthrow
how would you be ignorant enough to let us do so?
and if only by gods we gain a conscious state
how could you let us put your lives at stake?

What I Stay Alive For
02:00
|

I will make my mark
And I won't care if you notice
That's not the purpose
I don't want that to be my focus
I do it for me
As long as I breathe
I will make my mark
And it'll be on me
Even if I die
and nobody cries
and my name's forgotten to time
I'd be just fine
Cuz that's not what I stay alive for
this life's all mine to control
Even if I die (I die)
Even if I die
Even if I die
and nobody cries
and my name's forgotten to time
I'd be just fine
Cuz that's not what I stay alive for
this life's all mine to control
Cuz that's not what I stay alive for
this life's all mine to control

So Help The Gods
03:12

I can hardly stand on my feet
I'm a pathetic walking trainee
So don't you dare reach your arms out for me
Cuz I won't be here to carry you
Help the gods, (I'm not)
So help the gods, (Always)
sdog eht pleH, (Sober)
sdog eht pleh oS
I've lost my sense of direction
I could cause your defection
I could sever our connection
I can't trust that I won't drop you
I'm not your saviour darling
That's not what true friends are for
Help the gods, (I'm not)
So help the gods, (Always)
sdog eht pleH, (Sober)
sdog eht pleh oS
I'm shivering, quivering, please
I'm making it all about me
help the gods, (I'm not)
So help the gods, (Sober)
I cannot fix you darling
That's not what my hands are for
Help the gods, (I'm not)
So help the gods, (Always)
sdog eht pleH, (Sober)
sdog eht pleh oS
I'm shivering, quivering, please
I'm making it all about me
help the gods, (I'm not)
So help the gods, (Sober)

Pointless Edgy Rap

Let's talk about twitter
Hold up, what the fuck, you think they're an irredeemable cuck?
A youtuber who betrayed your beliefs is more important than an actual cunt?
What the fuck, have you no life that you have to bring that shit to light?
Is that of your biggest concern? Isn't there anything else that is worse? whoa...
Okay real talk, wouldn't it be more okay
to have constructive discussion on issues that are more morally gray?
Instead of speaking on behalf of people you don't represent
Stop enforcing your personal boundaries on people who simply aren't your friend
You can cry about my edginess
Or think you're the embodiment of its sound
Or think that the concept of its pointlessness is somehow fucking profound
Or think that me calling the otherwise pretentious meaning out gives it more substance
(and so on and so forth blah blah blah i think you get the gist of it)
The point is, in the quantum chance I face my fear of fame
I don't want to see some Misteramazing-quality video essay
Preaching the idea that my use of the phrygian mode was some deep expression of depression
When I was simply just in a bad mood and thought it would make for some cool poetry
(I don't think that was the point)
Let's talk jazz, I think some people just don't get it
That watching 5 Adam Neely Q&A's or spending countless hours on Reddit
Doesn't make you the Jazzlord, the Temperament God, or a fucking Rhythm Master
When you keep connecting really big chords that don't even fit eachother
It just stretches my brain that the 7 levels of Jazz Harmony
Is just 7 progressive steps to more brain fuckery
I mean, don't get me wrong, Jazz is sick, it keeps me sane
But you're not a Jazz Producer, you just make really bad boss music.
(The lack of rhyme there was a jazz thing, you wouldn't get it.)
Holy Shit
What the fuck

Holy Shit
What the fuck

Holy Shit

Dear Rick Beato
03:10

Dear Rick Beato (if youre even listening)
I didn't make this track for you actually, maybe you'll be glad its true
You just happen to believe the artistic progression in pop culture is actually regressing
and you also happen to be famous, I guess
I suppose I'd call you the ambassador for out-of-touch boomers
So that's why this whiny kid decided it was fine to pick on you, err.
This message rather is for the people I think you represent
So in the sincerest way possible, I just have one question:
Why do you care?
The artform's changing
Its okay to not enjoy all the things that you're tasting
But your taste buds aren't the centre of the earth; you're just wasting your time.
Can be precious when youre listening to songs
And not every fucking song has to be harmonically strong
And making shallow songs isn't so fucking wrong
And nobody but you uses the radio anymore like-
God Damn, God Damn, God Damn!
God Damn, God Damn, God Damn!
Why do you care?
The artform's changing
Its okay to not enjoy all the things that you're tasting
But your taste buds aren't the centre of the earth; you're just wasting your time.
Yet you insist
that the shit of the past persists
as a relic of art in its bliss
before crashing to what music is now
You lack the perspective
You think that your taste is objective
And sometimes
I really wish these old men would die already
So we could finally move on with our lives already
But that probably wouldn't solve a thing
Because, we'll grow old too
And just complain about the music like they do
About the music in the future that we'll listen to
Maybe that's why I don't wanna grow old.
So why should we care?
Why should I care?
Cause their complaints won't change the game, theyre just annoying
And climate change will kill us anyway so we're just wasting our time

Scream For Me
03:09
|
|||
At first I wanted to make this my apology
But now I turned it into my soliloquy
Once again, every time I try to make it right
It just ends up being all about me
I wanted to tell my friends I'm really fucking sorry
Cuz I was never good at conceding my wrongdoings
I wanna admit sometimes I'm very fucking shitty
But I'm scared of having to bath in their pity
My self esteems at an all time great
And yet i still suffer from my own shame
Being held accountable affects my mood for the whole day
And I only apologise to take that sadness away
If you can relate
If you sometimes feel the same
Can you scream for me
Scream your head out for me
But tell me you're alright
Tell me you won't fucking die
Can you, scream for me
Scream your head out for-
Won't you shout
Loud enough to pop your eyes out
Say it loud and proud
So I can know what you're about
But tell me you're alright
Tell me you won't fucking die
Can you, scream for me
Scream your head out for me
And no matter how raw I'd like to get
Ill always end up drowning my sorrow in effects
Let a plangent instrumental cover up my regret
Im not even sad while I write this I feel like an emotionless wreck
And yet that's not what I try to project
Maybe ill tear up while recording but I wont tell you how it went
Sometimes i want more problems just so I can write more songs about 'em
Even if they'd have me endlessly crying in my bed
There's more shit that I wish I could say
But i don't cuz i cant think of how to rhyme it
But why does it matter? I'm just digging deeper into my brain
Just to explain my self-ridicule with more self-aware bullshit
It's a game I can't win, it's the cup I can't drink
The game of perfecting art turns to perfecting how I think
And i wish i could say im ok with my flaws
But im too afraid ill harm others more
If you can relate
If you sometimes feel the same
Can you scream for me
Scream your head out for me
But tell me you're alright
Tell me you won't fucking die
Can you, scream for me
Scream your head out for-
Won't you shout
Loud enough to pop your eyes out
Say it loud and proud
So I can know what you're about
But tell me you're alright
Tell me you won't fucking die
Can you, scream for me
Scream your head out for me

Knock Knock
Is anyone there?
Can just a second be spared for me?
Do you think I suffice
As a normal human being?
And what gives you the agency to label what you're seeing?
As objective truth
That world view is ruthless
To think that we're at fault when we evolved like this is simply useless
Check my pulse, I'm still human
That's an alternate confusion
Knock Knock
Can you hear me?
Or are you deaf to people like me?
Knock Knock
Can you answer?
Can I at least speak behind this lock?
Check my pulse, I'm still human
Check my pulse, I'm still human
Knock Knock
Am I defective in your eyes?
Why isn't that a surprise?
Check my pulse, I'm still human
That's an alternate confusion

Memento Moron

Even if I die
and nobody cries
and my name's forgotten to time
I'd sleep just fine
Why should I care about my legacy
if I'll never get to bask in notoriety
and if it's inevitable that no one will remember me
Why should i live in a time where I'm not alive?
In this lonely world, where humans had reside
We were taught repeatedly that we mattered to time
ooh, but then, the truth made us realise
We'll die, and value won't save lives
Here we were, embedded in our consciousness
Fables sung to children all around
But who are we to say what's right and wrong at all?
