Lyrics

Mode

Machine child
Cybernetic kid
Grows up
Fucked up

Outshone

The moon is leaving us
As if in shame
Retreats five hundred feet a decade
The same face, but receding
Like Nosferatu into the shadows
The moon is leaving us

Animal Crackers

Progress needs the circus’ loss
It makes us feel evolved and proud
Now not caged, but still a snack
Freak shows left on the same train

But animal cruelty stayed behind
With audacity tastes strong in kind
Now on TV reality shows
We can gawk and gawk and gawk and gawk
While nobody knows

Mass Acceptance

Like the baleen whale of popular culture
Gulping in the breach
Swallows whole the wayward catch
Nothing out of reach

Leviathan

Before Eden was a garden
Divinely hoed and sown
Soupy nothing, non-thing
Dark, ungrown, unknown

Light that cast the shadow
Dark before the light
Object making shadow
Ready for a fight

Dunning-Kruger

The problem with conspiracies
Is an epistemological one
One cannot critique a knowledge
One cannot assess

Molecular Memory

Novel kinematic replication
Cardiac driven motors, sensory cilia
Neither robots nor organisms
Xenobotic AI life-forms

Hailed as ways to cure our problems
Cancer, viruses, climate change
But wait until they weaponize
Or until they have their own plans

Showy Evidence

A true test of genius
Observant for the few
Captures that lonely moment
When original thoughts are few
A basic line of reasoning
Sets its sights anew
