about

A fever dream hosted by Rod Serling, live from the asylum.

lyrics

In the sturdy thirst for knowledge
Practices best left in the 17th prevail into the 21st installment
An ever hurried world devolved too late to involve us…
So if the clergy won’t show mercy…surely the law must
It looks like College…but they’re the only ones learning
Wait…ever popped a solid wheelie on a locked gurney?
The clearest visions are often obscured by blurry faces…
So keep my eyes closed…the communal commode is thirty paces…
The metal Stetson rests just beyond the 88th axle squeak
Ankle braces…masterpiece theater…the cattle shriek…
That’ll be enough unless the herd proves the data wrong
Until then…grab a seat…wear a jacket…babble on…
Haven’t quite felt right since the last solution…
Up the dosage quotient…that should do it mass improvement…
Classic blueprint…trap the nuisance…sniff the scent
I bet you can’t quite tell if it smells of betterment or discontent…

Medicated vegetative states…They have in store…
And this is what we hold them sacred for?
Their complacence paved the way for the rage that’s been formed…
So best to brace for the storm
Our anger grows ever flagrant as we gaze at the floor…
Some form of ancient war…
Say no more…Say no more…
Take the paces, brace the door…

(Kofa)
The time space continuum got a tiny tear in it
Only got the wherewithal to stall, a derelict
Dear diary the theremin becomes my errant therapist
Prepare the rarest crypt for me lay inside of, fatal titans
A wraith arising with movements made imperative
Losing to 8 samaritans, passing by weighted arrogance
Hatched a plot to have again what dreams had promised
Turkish bath steam absconded with the needs admonished
A steady drip of fear from the bag seems to keep them honest
On edge enough to hedge their bets and get to work with traumas
I ski with sonics, ACLs are tearing, bedlam in the bedpan
A breath of peppermint treasuring threads of death’s dance
Learning moves from the dead in my dreams, they glide slow
Graceful fantasia brooms, Louima cries grow
Powers that be only serve to keep the places warm
Serving stakeholders on a shaking plate that hatred forms

Medicated vegetative states…They have in store…
And this is what we hold them sacred for?
Their complacence paved the way for the rage that’s been formed…
So best to brace for the storm
Our anger grows ever flagrant as we gaze at the floor…
Some form of ancient war…
Say no more…Say no more…
Take the paces brace the door…
