Tone Deaf 04:39
If they cant Control the streets they press control alt delete Absolutely unaware that this history repeats some blame science for killing god, same science as building blocks frames and pylons revealing thoughts,  replace arbitrary with deeper laws Regression back to mean labelled unsophisticated though we able to tease information from unspecific cadence shifting of Earth underneath what we've built silent thunderings that ripple and liquefy the silt we deconstruct and simplify, signs write the end is nigh time spent on diamond mining means most were meant to die for low wages, the profaneness Of new idols that are famous promote products that are dangerous, divert funds for sports stadiums of course  sieges continues on peoples who have most to lose when we only have one option what are we supposed to choose? Of course people are erased for the sake of development when these words have no meaning the truth is irrelevant Nautilus feels the present unwinding, does it coil peacefully or foment Peasant uprisings, from exchanges within alleys or updates of public Ledgers no concern that the fiat cannot be measured When our ties to what sustains us are severed Then it seems what survives lives under pressure, In terms of currency, only assurance can be treasured, temperatures won't be tempered as long as we the center Extract energy leaking from steam turbines, chrome leeches into aquifers, but its not the first time General malaise is common for the middle aged they gaze up towards the sky to trace commercial spaceships Formations that ferry supplies and few that will survive in zero gravity inside castles in the sky Causalities of war, ignored as thermal losses generals reap rewards as both sides filling up coffins Over speakers its relayed that they can search us underneath the earths crust, with alternative service Employment is a joke now that processes Automated scrappers strip junk for carburetors, antiques with altered carbon dating Skin color or genitalia, updated star of David They pour out they hearts for comrades who never made it ahistories from stonehenge to the Olmec soulless drones that are tone deaf prepare for war that is full fledged Nautilus feels the present unwinding does it coil peacefully or foment Peasant uprisings the exchanges in the alleys or updates of public Ledgers no concern that the fiat cannot be measured When our ties to what sustains us are severed Then it seems what survives is what is measured In terms of currency, only assurance can be treasured The temperature won't be tempered as long as we the center like light through Optical molasses, we shine bright but stuck inside this element that's captured us, suspended, as beam of pure energy our core entities, separate/ labelled as sure enemies if you live in the jungle, our mechanisms will hunt you come through your habitat with bibles and guns too we got our own idols, tactics of Sun Tzu balance lost forever, once you undo patterns passed before the fall, great forgetting before recall we came, we saw, now planes free fall above lanes we pour with cement, we've evolved To weather storms of acid rain as trees dissolve Neural pathways remain intact, language acquired through rough syntax so what divides our kind from recent pasts? Hardware unchanged, no leaps in math Just creatures navigating on uneven paths matter of fact, change is in software, not our code that makes us our science won't save us, our hubris sedates us,  Where will it take us now that we are sure we are the first as well as the last that must last on planet Earth

We all return to Earth at the end of our sentence body turns to dirt, a form without sentience most play out their time in the bosom of modernity built upon those serving 25 to eternity Concrete pens with no warmth, no human contact captured trophies of memetic combat sagas reduced to monochrome time lapse legacy surrendered to the abyss like by catch I think of where I'm at, the privilege to choose between decadence or a divine path my mind has binaries, but contrary to good and evil Truth is molded within the hearts of a people no need for proof, nonexistence of absolutes what's the use, if water turns to flame, forests reduced to roots dot a man-made landscape, a metal dome for a roof they replaced our home encased our physicals in a tomb Attempts to bury us in this grave site called America vocal ones silenced, local genocide in each area Air supremacy,  Nagasaki to Syria drop the bombs to augment the hysteria They declare Open season on those with no allegiance Why is it treason to oppose these broken meanings?

Plane Zero 03:58
They be boosting gear, non detection through fluids no proof of fare, or how and when they do it Invisible to infrared sensors that be hovering high Weaving between speakers that be thundering lies Nobody wondering why, this is a new normal a view of black skies over burning blocks where few quarrel got magicians driving stick forging huge portals into other worlds of no forests and few coral Bulbs of Edison, walls of medicine halls accredited fallen presidents, Call it what it is marble stripped to serve a function it's those who write codes guiding those who reap and sow onions  What are dreams, if not hope and or lessons to be learned When there's no coping mechanism to deter fantastic notions to return Us back to equilibrium we only focus on the worst This is the zero plane where bodies fear no pain Where we drink blood cuz it's ten years no rain Look in the distance, this place with no name This is the zero plane, this is the zero plane I'm in a room full of stolen treasures where we keep pharaoh tombs as well as golden feathers next we mining moons with emboldened effort try to bring monsoons over Gobi deserts Have had my head down since mid December in and out of city centers Routed via aqueducts, I've seen decay beneath the opulence How much of infrastructure run on Sweat equity We re-purpose muscle fiber to achieve feats incredibly Focus, sharp as fangs of king cobras Cranes that careen over mountains of machine boulders Pirates who eat locusts sail to breach ghost ships Fail those who be closest, as a whole it seem hopeless Like dissolves like, types evolve types,  Stuxnet activate/ crawl networks to hard wipe, Seeking intrigue or increased dividends like PG&E Chains of command infiltrate take hold deep in the streets This is the zero plane where we breath in Kerosene Where we drink blood cuz it's ten years no rain Look in the distance, this place with no name This is the zero plane, this is the zero plane Pistons elicit hissing as bronze solder worn down Qld city quarter torn down for new views few can afford now voices barely audible under the horn sounds deafening decibels signal caution in the foreground microparticles diffuse from numerous rock heaps cause tumorous colonies to be dealt with in future policy workers cannot sleep on threat of termination Fatigues insures at least one a day perish within basins carved bed rock, layers of history  expose piles plunge down as caverns are enclosed patch works of pipes, panels upon roof tops capture the light  Dynamic stasis, basis between masters and mice Outside on display Racks of 3D bearing beads Back alley Gene therapy with lucid dream guarantees We lost, like Greeks coming home flying bleached sails Lost, far from home like beached whales This zero plane where we share the plague Where we drink blood cuz it's ten years no rain Look in the distance, this place with no name This is the zero plane, this is the zero plane

Language is imperfect, but first it's about furthest points that encourage us to curse at our purpose Inabilities connect, instabilities collect Insofar as we detect, indeterminate regrets Through life we progress, how many breaths before death how any sight of the flesh give ways to flights in our chests Christ atop the crest, stories retold a thousand fold now it's hold is solid from atop pyramids to down below other people's we've encountered from Amazonia to the Poles are gone now, so their stories are true unknowns What machinations drive us to scorch earth in times of peace What fascinations drive us to orbit celestial beings We can see Neptune's rings, Titan's icy sheen Look back at a blue marble with growing deserts, drying streams It's neural wiring, or nucleic acids in our Genes or Freudian conditioning's, leaving traces in our dreams I've heard it's inside of us, our nemesis, since Genesis the premise is, we must pay a pound of flesh for our blemishes If I head west it's a tax that I offer to a God Eternal souls put on trial, as a scythe reaps the crop Or I cross east towards lands where internal strife is our flaw Suffering is managed but suffering is the law Do we strike a balance to find a middle way? In this Search between latitudes for answers that fit our fate? Pray on our knees that president's launch missiles straight Pay our fees to participate in trade on interstates Soaked inside of binaries like I'm swimming in custom silicon between ascetic discipline to doubting bone and ligament Can I tell what fiction is? Verses what my sickness is? Born into affliction, many names elders have christened it My egos plus my people's born and raised neolithic I am trained Neolithic, taught to behave Neolithic I recite creation myths that retain Neolithic Assumptions: I'm cradle to the grave Neolithic And in this case, reality we create lends credence To new ideologies that blur the lines of sequence 12, 000 thousand years is just a blink of an eye Yet 5 millennia makes us think we can defy Nature, out and inside, excuse me but English ain't precise Or vague enough to handle what it is this world provides I'm blinded by rage, using my pain as my sight Without no awareness I thought this was the meaning of my life To suffer our sins as well as buffer all delights Shifting baselines means we live one another's rewrites Desire is the root, what we believe is what we do Never mind that this belief structures us and shapes the truth So now what I am left with, means and methods we've accepted To ancestors I'm indebted, concepts of hell and heaven It's over, this chapter it can come to a close Abolish my anger against Coptic symbols inside of scrolls Leave my attachment to Sutras that taught me exactly that diamonds are merely geologic aftermath Nautilus been on a quest but is it time to reflect It's easy to rip out pages of manuscripts Naut rejects Instead of east west I'm headed back before Cartesian Back before genome sequencing, back before the breach of sin Back with awareness my lens is warped by the present Forever war with my essence, with cores of my tenets Myopia induced by voids of time in my conscious I need to bridge gaps as well as grasp the coming conflicts Go between the pasts, really my present, and my futures Go between the pasts, what I can't ask the Diamond Sutra I go between the pasts, I'm searching for a path

Monolith 03:06
The sentience begins its final reference cross checked, free of human negligence silos emptied undetected, wash away the decadence a second flood, the wrath from above beckons blood future archaeologists uncover no mention of us Only buried cities caked by layers of dust black shafts that once rise above now collapsed and crushed they find sunken layers, early graves of the unprepared tracks of creatures on foot en masse running scared The Geiger detects traces of Armageddon The depths is where even the strongest went in excavations uncover a global death sentence species erasure, evidence of a total threat and menace What did they leave behind? what did we leave behind the monolith is all they'll find Piece by piece, events can be reconnected databases resuscitate survivors tales of tempest it's a mystery why the black slab still imposes while the rest of the planet remains frozen biospheres have long since collapsed due to melted permafrost once the machine was set in motion there's no way to turn it off So by millions, refugees built underground And to this day, they remains still underground densities of  the lairs compares to meat packing powered by nuclear fission left to boil, still reacting Fallout spreads, from slums to middle class buffer tenants cracks from fracking, leaking carcinogenics Into springs that hydrates the last of the labor class due time their inside burn and return to ash What did they leave behind? what did we leave behind the monolith is all that they'll find What did we leave behind? what do we leave behind the monolith is all that they'll find What did we leave behind? what do we leave behind the monolith is all that they'll find What do they see above the sea and sand the monolith is all that stands Details are teased from secondary sources an orifice in the slab still active, detail coordinates machines made subordinate, only to rule through relieving boredom Transmit through antennas that rise beside forklifts domed habitats, perverted dymaxion No difference between civilized men and what they label savages to protect the last of private property A dead system won't teach you how to live properly privatized police mechanized, deployed rapidly They run on solar, don't require no batteries Cyborgs made to feel, paid to kill the masses that inhabit these caves of steel it was systematic, the way they caused havoc in the face of total chaos there's no way to stay passive in due time all fit the profile for death sentencing created conditions to justify their own necessity So what did we leave behind? Only tapes and records, time don't rewind What did we leave to find? Only dates without context, a sun that don't shine What did we accomplish? In our extinction we had no accomplice What did we leave for future witnesses A silent world is our final monument

Water Birth 05:38
What's consensus? Convergence towards truth or merely projections Of past biases and complexions Now instead of priests, there's new gate keepers for direction Nautilus doubt the research and raise the questions I was taught man descended from the tree tops Great apes before our brains gave way to harbor deep thoughts Straight legs on great plains we speed across With straight aims we maintain prowess with lethal force Before history who controls what is known Cave paintings relate mainstream theories of Western codes As a male, I'm evolved to hunt game and fight wars My counter part, gather carbohydrates and are what I fight for We chased mega fauna until they no longer breed, Like how we burn coal In factories so we no longer breath Like indigenous holocausts so we no longer see How we divorced from ourselves So earth no longer speaks Competition on all levels is what gives us our drive Survival of the fit, only the strong survive And we living this til the day that we die From the cradle we supplied til the grave that we lie I've only known what my eyes can see my mind is free, to swim in this entire sea But what if I'm only drifting by a tide beneath Break away to dive deeper to find what's inside of me I was birthed encased in vernix, white film on my surface Same as sea mammals that are born in ocean currents I swam before I crawled, dived  before I walked Controlled my breath inside my chest before I learned to talk My physiology performs like I was born by the ocean Savanna's are foreign to my forebears locomotion Some claim our brains swelled due to consuming flesh Mistake omegas for alpha in how we used to catch Catfish in Turkana, mussels of coasts of Java New bones in our ears we've uncovered between strata Iodine, iron, zinc, selenium Fat subcutaneous, to the fat in our craniums On our bodies, it's the placement, in our head, it's the matrix Our brains of DHA reflect complex social arrangements This world of pavement, Industrial enslavement  Contained by the blade when its chalices that form the basis I've only known  what my eyes can see, my mind is free, to swim in this entire sea, But what if I'm only drifting by a tide beneath,  I break away to dive deep into what's inside of me, As an emcee, Naut got that breath control Adaptation that was crucial as a stepping stone Same trait i share with clades of cetaceans enables communication, As I rhyme to a cadence Enables me to speak Your evidence corrupted On behalf of worldviews Victorians constructed you think your objective, I can see your objectives, I reject your directives as I dive into depths with Stories of people's who lived free of good and evil Darwin aboard the beagle, emissary of medieval We can push back against blind Faith in a process That Reduce complex into objects and fuel conquests telescopes to search heavens defile sacred mounts Wide eyes confirm a vastness while this planets breaking down High science is skewed vision like we got deformed corneas landfills in the ocean means plastic in mother's formulas Aspirin in the rivers, fructose in the livers Acid when it rains, what we gain with no more winter Claim no Confirmation bias, they must be double blind Overturn theories, but what is true cuts through time They say they want proof but it was never bout evidence About severance, between human and everything How can we know our past if we relish in Erasure, Enforce the Secular that drive us to meet our maker Collapse of water bodies reveal how far we've come Our war against ourselves tribute to all we've done I don't know that I'm right but I know that they wrong We won't go without a fight, all my people's stay strong Keep our heads above the froth, ahead of hidden costs Speak of the forbidden until the instance we reach across I've only known what my eyes can see my mind is free, to swim in this entire sea But what if I'm only drifting by a tide beneath I break away to dive deep into what's inside of me

Ruins 04:51
How do you recognize the ordinary? What do you call that without a name? Why do we ask for answers without a question? Where do we go if every where's the same? Acid fumes escape from old batteries assault your olfactory, landscape is soul shattering Clear cut by old strategies, fly ash buries untold savagery the globe a hot zone pocketed by cold cavities Boulevards are set to not intersect axis cultures clashing, vultures nest next to ancient trash heaps survivors are basically marathon athletes go round and round in circles, cross country through the back streets wearables track consumers to relay parametrics that chip in the wristwatch, gridlock delays paramedics mole people live underneath encased in damp septics culture transmits the message: existence is a death wish xNautilusx, an engineer, telling you the end is near but first pause, dissect cause and effect, are intentions clear ingrained with the notion that humans are created flawed in all of evolution we are chosen after all we flew too close to the sun, so we had to fall whether original sin or within our DNA, we have to war neighbor against neighbor, fall to guns or sabers believe in science or saviors, no difference within this group takers hands that have toiled, deformed by labor and stress roll cigarettes, inhale fluid into the chest cant afford to purchase tobacco, she burns cloves as a substitute Her clothes are aren't comfortable, bestowed by the undertow Non profits feed in the Sub-currents and undergrowth Ghettos to prison pipelines, we forced to lie underoath Metal worms crisscross under you, hear the undertones this embargo of perspective: highly functional All I see is the ruins All I breath is the ruins All I eat is the ruins All I meet is the ruins All we see is the ruins All we breath is ruins All we eat is the ruins All we meet is the ruins Along the coast brown men break ships with no benefits mangled bodies Fill the tenements 20 hour shifts, there's no end of it Coffin makers pace back and forth taken measurements Plasma cut crusted brine and score panels oxidized copper from miles of wire line the side, while missionaries proselytize No how what when and the why, this design, only those who have consolidated decide to escape the baking sun while they synchronize the pull groups congregate in shadows of the crumbling hulls spears of commerce now merely scrap metal  world is flat, after these giants made the map level All it takes is a spark to ignite hermetic chambers No compensation if they suffer mortal danger another dead Asian, a chapter brought to close worldwide suffering, but these stories remain untold How do you recognize the ordinary? What do you call that without a name? Why do you ask for answers without a question? Where do you go if everywhere's the same? How do we recognize the ordinary? What do we call that without a name? Why do we ask for answers without a question? Where do we go if everywhere is the same? A city within a desert built to flaunt its buried treasures by any measure, they networks protect the net worth few voices past the censors, as diseases transmit through dense vectors, senses inert, seek out pain and pleasure. Droves of immigrants tricked, beholden to private ventures, stolen wages, passport pages, modern slaves, these faceless members As degrees of separation drops, more weeds will grow between the crops more rapidly viral content spreads between nodes within our thoughts what we see is filtered by whims of a central user more misguided than visions of retro future These servers run the kernel, the surface wraps around inferno no concern for what is earth and the loss of what is fertile Claws of drought have caused a storm of dust to descend the city walls a poor defense for beginnings of the end Cause we out of options, the final shadow descends but are we sure of the outcome, I guess it all depends All I see is the ruins All I breath is the ruins All I eat is the ruins All I meet is the ruins All we see is the ruins All we breath is ruins All we eat is the ruins All we meet is the ruins

Peak Hunters 04:22
What is the missing linkage?  My cities shrinking due to shifting seasons who knew that used nuclear fuel brews for fifty eons as fields lay fecund, my ancestors slayed chieftains raped and seeded demons who further created kingdoms These coastlines reclaimed by encroaching oceans fires beyond hills are only omens, like ghost we move back in forth, between constructed worlds based in imagination or ones that drains the source Megastructures crystallized from seeds of pure chance, machines speak in FORTRAN, habeas corpus with no warrants, Upon this earth, they speculate upon its worth dismantling biospheres along they search We speculate, what's tomorrow will be today Quantify derivatives so value can be retained Never mind extinction, it's value that remains Never mind valleys it's the peaks we seek to aim Opiates funneled by motorbikes upon a Khyber pass while in Berlin my man Eebz cash out his cyber stash Blac bloc in DF leave scenes with police tires slashed Shout out to my fam in Kampala, thick as a briarpatch are these actions fruitless? Just to make them upset know our history, like Studying for a blood test We forced to do battles with shadows on the wall shrapnel that resolves historical ripples of the Gauls myths of the Noble savage, symptoms of global madness split beams like focal fractions, now fade out into blackness imprisoned like blackfish, we can't have this how we speak of Earth in the past tense We speculate, what's tomorrow will be today Quantify derivatives so value can be retained Never mind extinction, it's value that remains Never mind valleys it's the peaks we seek to aim We speculate, what's tomorrow will be today Quantify derivatives so value can be retained Never mind extinction, it's value that remains Never mind valleys it's the peaks we seek to aim Purging colons, ignore thirst, hunger, massaging swollen abdomens, these riches they fly over like locusts ravaging The budget deficit, lack cold storage for medicine tent cities emerge under crumbling concrete edifice power cut off by con Edison our lives under the knife by non sentience line of sight enigma is the deadliest Reflected off the space needle, correlate or co-variance Establish Task forces, keep under wrap losses tracks our passport and monitor from floating warships we get by on smaller portions, as my spine begins to bend We pay for their fortunes, trades for future dividends We speculate, what's tomorrow will be today Quantify derivatives so value can be retained Never mind extinction, it's value that remains Never mind valleys it's peaks we seek to aim Splinter cells put projectiles through the choppers roof with increasing frequency like how Dopplers do know your family, and who's robbing you no humanity is no virus, it's the cop in you to enforce peace they ignore grief, to quell unrest, subsets  effectively quarantined youth is sedated to make way for machines elders are orphaned, nothing more* than corporate streams of revenues, central news turn mammals into vegetables like canned food, it preserves no nutrition using chemicals Never climb for no reason, seek alphas to lock in gains Never mind extinction, it's value that remains Never climb for no reason, another rush another trade Never mind valley it's peaks we seek to aim

Hexagon 05:02
We commute to the surface from under the grid winter's bite is tempered by heat from furnaces street furnishings illuminated from turns of the switch end up in an urn or a ditch, the glitch burns when it hits a fire-sale that leaves neighborhoods darkened only the lost or a fool will be caught walking unaware of the eyes that stalk them the laser beams and the scent of flesh that marks them Elevated tracks roar with each pass of grinding steel hell on wheels, over looking cracks which act like sinks attracting lost items and harvests which the harshness brings some pan for gold, on they knees searching crate fires, dance shadows upon the street urchins Some be hungry, fatigued from the streets that curse them some be missing persons, some wounded from wars, no one to nurse them finding refuge among the refuse but not security another homeless dead, beaten mercilessly we kill for sport, anothers pain we will ignore if numbness is virtue what you have feelings for? I feel the cold rain as it begins to pour just caught in the middle of the storm I feel the old pains make they way to my core just caught in the middle of the storm We get cut down, crushed by upper echelons Packed into the hexagon No matter why you pray, what you say, where you stay, how you stray You still trapped in the hexagon They lead legions, to carve out new regions it’s the season of the scorpion scorch the leaves and leave the carbon unsequestered in all of time this is just an excerpt augment the body with chrome and organic gadgets got radio and telescopes encircling the planet no body planned this, pollack on the canvas no guides no directions that are written in the Sanskrit I watch a culture stagnate, adults drinking’ lactate eating’ crab cakes, suffer back pain gaining mad weight The age of division is what we enter now Nautilus stays underground with les miserables the raw elements cause settlement, building’ up the pounds black bloc response to release of the hounds Patterns in the labyrinth drawn by past savages point to solutions that will bring down the averages There's no narrative to tie together, millennia of tragedy, history a grim specter It’s irony that the theory of the domino culminates in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Saddam Hussein is slain, another obstacle put out the way this chain is unstoppable, underway feel the climate change, these may be the final days no resting place beneath the tidal waves We get cut down, crushed by upper echelons Packed into the hexagon No matter why you pray, what you say, where you stay, how you stray You still trapped in the hexagon They drive black cabs with black hub caps sporting the black plates, riding with black masks got the anthrax gas within backpacks and duffels keys and pills they smuggle to weaken the struggle The doors they kick down, the shores they invade the wars they construct to keep us in chains And now they enslave us with gene splicing control our food, control when the fruits ripen alert levels heightened, a thousand rounds of metal to pierce the chitin exterminate the herds like they did the mighty Bison There is no romance to the way we be fighting human striking human who don’t be like them There is no romance in crime and extortion honest people buried underneath the warren in addition to the storm troopers, officials plot and collude with yakuza, ms bruser, thugs, and terrorist wherever the dream is American the hexagon leads, there is no comparison wherever the dream is American, there's fear and sin all of us, the hexagon rearing in We get cut down, crushed by upper echelons Backed into the hexagon No matter why you pray, what you say, where you stay, how you stray You still trapped in the hexagon
