lyrics

Their screaming wakes me. Cold from sweat. Splitting mind meat; pools dripping from the head. Factions, militants all taking sides. From a crows nest, their numbers seem not to erode but multiply. I’m not saying outright violence is in the cards, but if they were standing near a cliff, I would find it hard not to just push every last one straight down. A mural on the mountainside.

  I can’t help feeling I’ve done something to deserve this tortuous aural assault. Alarm bells shatter all my nerves, and I can’t pick up the pieces. Descent into decay. I’m not saying outright violence is in the cards, but if they were standing near a cliff, I would find it hard not to just push every last one straight down. A mural on the mountainside.

They are the future. We depend on their success, hence the excess patience I have granted. Will supplanted. But if they don’t shut their mouths, evolution will find a solution. Make them obsolete. What a chilling feat.
