lyrics

it’s easy to critique
from the comfort of your blue lit screen
got lost in your forum feed
all i want

a dream sequence speech
the internet is a guillotine
for every botched, echoed thought
all i want is some relief

burn blue
a taboo salute

the suffocating atmosphere
the clutter of design
signs of repetition
i’ve seen a thousand times

threats of impermanence,
of what we leave behind

the mind asleep
i roll my eyes to the screen
it all repeats
evenly spaced rings

its easy to critique
from the comfort of your blue lit screen
get lost

a dream sequence speech
the internet is a guillotine
for every botched, echoed thought
all i want is some relief

i am the messenger of discomfort
with words on decline
waged war on contentment
a black landscape traces the skyline

it all repeats
find a release
a black landscape traces the skyline
