lyrics

I could not bear the shame of this menial task set before me the rest of my life
So now may I please get dehumanized in some new way that is slightly more dignified
Everyone here does the stupidest things for a living
Suffering for our art
Not just for it’s own sake, not cause somebody asked you to
You chose this for a reason
You chose this
I need you to focus
I need you I need you I need you to
Understand what the stakes are

You already gave up on reality
Don’t give up on the dream
If you try to get out of the woods now
You’ll find that that trail of crumbs is all eaten
It’s a place you can go
It’s a place where you used to go
Somewhere you’ve never been
It’s the place where they asked you to leave
And said next time you come here we’re not gonna let you back in

Now I’m wondering where is the
What was the why did you
Why did you stop what you do
I believed in you

I woke up
I’d been somewhere else
I tried to make sense of my present surroundings
For some reason this time it’s harder than usual
To forget what I’ve seen
There’s a voice that don’t know what it’s doing
And it’s been saying some difficult things
I’d been talking to myself this whole time
The trouble is that I had also been listening
We’re all encouraged not to
We’re told, walk away from that beautiful, dangerous
Dangerous dangerous beautiful dangerous freedom
Spoke to me and it told me things
It said

You already gave up on reality
Don’t give up on the dream
If you try to get back into civilization
You’ll find out there’s no such thing
You already gave up on reality
The thing is
So did everyone else
Where is the world
What was the world
What was it like there and why did we squander it
