face buried in the lcd into the screen i beat my retreat removed from my grief removed from my reverie won't somebody intercede? we've outsourced our humanity will i be left to weep on the shoulders of the machine? control, control god forbid i'm uncomfortable god forbid i feel vulnerable for once before i'm old will i connect? will i bear my soul? or will the digital triumph? the illusion of connection makes us feel less alone but there's no god behind the curtain only an empty throne made of wires and circuits but still we bend the knee lonely but so frightened of intimacy we expect more from technology we expect less from humanity i can't unplug myself someone set me free control, control god forbid i'm uncomfortable god forbid i feel vulnerable for once before i'm old will i connect? will i bear my soul? or will the digital triumph? god forbid i feel deserving of a human being craving comfort while we're contained in computer screens connected but alone we're trapped inside our phones wearing glasses painted black so that we're not afraid breathing oxygen inside a fucking crashing plane rushing towards the ground calm as hindu cows we're becoming one we're becoming one with the machine (and only i can see the end)

i am a skeleton face is painted white october suicide on halloween night and no one notices the body it's probably a decoration they assume i'm in your room i wanted you now my costume can't be removed dirt in my casket swing from the noose costumes can't mask it i'm nothing to you my body is plastic i'm nothing to you i'm in your room i wanted you now my costume can't be removed haunting me haunting you

take a breath and let it out again you look like death a skeleton sewn of wooden bones through the trees a lantern shone burning now burning out my flesh slowly melts (i shed my skin and i'm weightless) i decay i'm not myself (i'm just a ghost in the basement) my body's on fire burning now burning out i'm sleeping sound i'm dead and gone i'm underground the world spins on
