lyrics

Its difficult to roam not exposed to signs of recruitment
everywhere multitudes partake in modern communions
among the ruins, glass facades frame institutions
built upon quicksand, they still want to expand

The marble around me, colder than mountains its stripped from
language I speak, contains colonial logic in dictums
fruits I eat, coated chemically like trees it was picked from
engineered to grow thick skin to survive prescriptions
hydrocarbons shape shifted to battle insect resistance
infected with sickness by clicks who oversee business interests
shipped over seas or imported, makes no difference
now that we devoid of seasonals, there ain't no limits

To rise above it all, we create god in our own image, we don't mention finite suddenly has no limits, we don't finish what been started, bring to market modern curses, full speed towards the furnace, is this actually worth it?
To rise above it all, we create god in our own image, we don't mention finite suddenly has no limits, we don't finish what been started, merchants market modern curses, you buy to fight the current, but is this actually worth it?

millions converted to images of white models and movie actors
return billions in profit for skin bleach and Hair relaxers
its unseen, yet showers the earth like sunbeams
struggle to cover up multiple nightmares with one dream
of utopia, found in fields of opium
Found in shields of policemen
Found in buildings folding in after tectonics opening
found in electronic potency that amps up dopamine
Found in empty fountains, found in expansive postal grids
subliminal messages, how we supposed to live
slipping false dichotomies like testosterone verse estrogen
look out through port holes
either fields of corn rows or a city of human morsels
a false prophesy foretold from a mouth of a cynic
self fulfilled prophecies are supposed to be cyclic
modern mystics traverse elevated sidewalks lifted off the district
look out to the distance, buildings attempt the heavens with mere ascension
dependent only upon the weakest weld or rivet
I guess it's a given that this systems got no limits
 
To rise above it all, we create god in our own image
we don't mention finite suddenly has no limits
we don't finish what been started,  bring to market modern curses
full speed towards the furnace, is this actually worth it?
To rise above it all, we create god in our own image
we don't mention finite suddenly has no limits
we don't finish what been started, merchants bring to market modern curses
you buy to fight the current, is this actually worth it?

I'm trying change the system while they try to change the climate
set up hierarchy for you to climb it, while they consolidate combining
Bad men who got your mattress bugged live in a world where atlas shrugged
Sweep through laws that strafe like Gatling guns
what happens after the suns blackened, nihilist fashion gains traction, nautilus takes action
how we move forward if we trapped in silos and don't learn
its like arson to their prisons, concrete don't burn
on bomb beats, Naut competes with noise that constructs towards infinity, churned out by industries and delivered individually
the past is unwritten, our futures can be different
renounce their myths and image, and recognize our limits
