lyrics

Approach the final frontier, deep horizons warped by iron cores
sun flares lash across abyss, contact leviathans
gas giants pummeled by ice and diamonds, titans rising
No information escapes from beyond event horizons
we look up, take notes of when points of light in alignment
Equations deduce trajectories, magnitudes produce time shifts

redness off in the spectrum, divide the sky into sections
focus stacked lenses towards precise directions
The wave lengths reaching our eyes hint at an increasing in size
boundaries distinct from the sides of the regions we spy
this might be the reasons for why
we not overstanding our shallow contexts and the deepness of mind

Look around for evidence, we got reasons to doubt
They books, they sentences that say we got the freedom to bow
The Known Universe too deep for the evil and foul
Overstand we living lives we ain't even dreaming about

Through modes of control a few be certain that worth be in the holding of gold
having faith that value retained equals the value its sold
but what value remains on a planet that's cold
take for granted that the damage can managed in full

global perspectives block out the total recessions
not financial markets, I'm talking bout artificial selection
genocide in the tropics, what survives are solely parasites
filling voids and niches of what once was paradise
we extract the final tracks of intact biomass
Then latch on with tyrant grasps that impact with violent wrath
Developments of narco-architecture, gardens with artful renders
western standards, ratios ain't hard to measure
satellite rings, surround a darkened center
setting concrete emits carbon as it hardens the earth

now when rains pour, aquifers no longer replenish
original cultures washed away are no longer mentioned
Top soil depletion cause food prices to peak
riots over grain,  strong leech off the weak just eat
warring over water will be deemed proactive
off shore drilling coupled with fractures as standard practice
a belief that to be human is to increase extraction
look up into blackness, metal spines weave a caged lattice
a belief that to be human is to be extractive
its not our biology that keeps us captive

Look around for evidence, we got reasons to doubt,
They books, they sentences that say we got the freedom to bow
The Known Universe too deep for the evil and foul
Overstand we living lives we ain't even dreaming About

Were we meant to construct metropolis with slum quarters attached
boom bust cycles, with property taxes to match
we pay to live, they take, we give to exist upon grey acres
this calculation less logical than pascals wager
what seems Megalithic, nautilus beg the difference
though its hard to contradict armed men with killer instincts
or neo shamans that cast more dreams than Sega systems
while ours elders die slow in federal prison

they want us second guessing, package problems as solutions
military augment police to decrease deaths from shooting
ethical slaughter, guiltless meat sold to consumers
banish the night, block out the sky with urban light pollution
don't mix the true dark up with layers of shadow
who controls the facts yo, contradictions we must grapple
as long as we keep vibing, our people keep surviving
the known has shown light upon the deep horizons
