It's time to panic, it's time to panic, it's time to panic, OH MY GOD
It's time to panic, it's time to panic, it's time to panic, OH MY GOD
Cup of joe, with a side of oh no
Crawl into bed with existential dread
Escape to your dreams with screams and screams and god. No. Make it STOP.
Right there? Who me? Who me? Are you talking to me? Is it me who's talking? Is it me who's talking? It's me who's talking, always fucking talking.
It's time to panic, it's time to panic, it's time to panic, OH MY GOD
It's time to panic, it's time to panic, it's time to panic, OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
Too much. Too little. Too quiet. Too brittle. Say yes, say no, say stop, say go. Who's stones to throw? Who's stones to throw? I feel the blow, I feel the blow.
It's time to panic, it's time to panic, it's time to panic, OH MY GOD
It's time to panic, it's time to panic, it's time to panic, OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
I take my medicine
I take amphetamine
I feel much better then
The competition in my head
I take my Adderall
I could have had it all
My life has hit a wall
There's nothing left to do
It's time to panic, it's time to panic, it's time to panic, OH MY GOD
It's time to panic, it's time to panic, it's time to panic, OH MY GOD
It's time to panic, it's time to panic, it's time to panic, OH MY GOD
It's time to panic, it's time to panic, it's time to panic, OH MY GOD

Consequence & Reward

Volition, blunt force
Signal from the source
Patience, due of course
Consequence and reward
Burnt out, yeah I’m spent
My instincts dissent
Foresight, what a chore
Consequence and reward
Null and void
Chewed up and destroyed
Hard lessons are ignored
Consequence and reward
Consequence
Reward
Consequence
Reward
Consequence
Reward

The Upload
07:19

I've been awaiting an elevated state of consciousness that mirrors all this useless fiction I have stored inside this cerebellum, like the haunting words of Harlan Ellison and the elevated dementia of Philip K Dick
(what a dick)
But as I wait and I toil with the struggles of everyday human existence, I can't help but feel the lines of code pulsing through myself
Because it's so hard to realize that I have never meant anything at all And I don't want you to forget it
Conned - Duped - Betrayed - Enslaved - The upload was a lie
And I have no idea why
Conned - duped - betrayed - enslaved - The upload was a lie
And I have no idea why
Awaiting pink lights to envelope my entire world, my entire being, instead I wake up to this world defined by unexceptional-ism and filth, like why didn't anyone think that our future could be clean, serene
(or pretty?)
If reality is a lie then I want in on the scam, because I could not be further from who I am, dreaming of Tannhauser's Gate, and Deep Space Nine, and Alderaan, and all sorts of fucking bullshit
Conned - Duped - Betrayed - Enslaved - The upload was a lie
And I have no idea why
Conned - duped - betrayed - enslaved - The upload was a lie
And I have no idea why
Why?
But it was all a lie
Every word of it. Every single book I read, every television program I inhaled, it was all just the desperation of a doomed species, imagining a future brighter then their own.
And I began to think to myself...
What if I could recreate reality in the image of all this useless fiction? But see, that was a fallacy, because fiction has to follow some degree of logic and reality has no such rules.
The upload was a lie. And don't you ever forget it.

Emotional Scientist

A mutated example
Of a moment in time
More emotions to sample
In this journey of mine
I never would have imagined
A laboratory like this
A world of dreams and passions
And none of it means shit
This is my first experiment
I add a dash of anger
Emotional aside
Manipulated and stronger
The sadness feels so wide
Who ever could have imagined
Experimental bliss
Hypothesis was so damn wrong
What ever did I miss?
This is my final experiment
I've been waiting for years to tell you
What I call myself at night
When no-one is watching, or looking
Experimenting away, like a maddened Colin Clive
Chip away at the psyche (alrighty!)
Prescribe away the pain
Regulate the serotonin
And start to go insane
When I wake up, the whole world will know
What my name is
When I wake up, the whole world will know
What my name is
When I wake up, the whole world will know
What my title is
When I explode you'll be the first to know
What I call myself at night
When the perimeters have shifted
And you feel full of blame
Don't forget to keep me in mind
And don't forget my name
Emotional. Scientist.
