lyrics

I keep spacing out on these thoughts that take over me
It's a lot to organize the natural and human things
Like at the center of the sun, hydrogen makes helium, to carbon, to nitrogen, to oxygen
And where are we supposed to put that with the police murdering women?
Children?
Anyone?
But not just anyone

Or maybe I'm much too much aware of exactly who I am
A brief sentient speck, obsessive, and dispassionate
But I see the pulsar spinning a quiet greeting in the dead of night
I see reality spun too and see the genocide

So anxious and awkward
When I have to be a part of
Conversations I can't follow with the drum in my ear
And it's building
Overwhelming
Crushing
And relieving
To be here and never really here

If an equation shows we got here by explosion
Are we the constants, the variables, remainders, or exception?
So will you border the galaxy? Make coyotes cross the Milky Way?
And when the sun finally explodes
Where will we watch your legacy evaporate?

In a matter of speaking
Is it worth even repeating?
So nihilistic and defeating from holistic to minutiae
But I see it in the stillness and the chaos
And it's perfect
And it's perfect all on its own

Until the first one to get there claims it
Franchises it and names it:
More trash

In that belly just like Schrödinger's cat
Who will they be?
