lyrics

My first night was surrounded by the kind of natural beauty that has inspired a calm in me since early childhood, however the taste of gunmetal and the pulse of machinery clouded my mind and body. I tried to find the connection to the green, the trees, the mass of natural emotion that was begging to envelop me, but have I come too far, or perhaps strayed too far for that sense of connection to hold meaning anymore?

Religion in any organized sense certainly gave, at times, a beautiful narrative to believe in. When you believe your core is solid there’s a sense of calm that washes over everything, truth is of no consequence… you have faith. Much of the time I find more solace in the ruins of those frameworks than any new version of salvation that has been served up to us… but still the pang of misalignment eventually stings through any momentary comfort.

Can there be faith without inflexibility? The paths seem to all be tools; in the most artisanal hands they show no immediate cracks or seams. But the closer you look, when you magnify them, you see cracks, pixels, splinters, humanity, organisms, single and multicellular; the hands of an artisan are still human perfectly imperfect. The singularity feels more like an emotional and cultural genocide than any grandiose gateway to utopia. What would this new creature be? A forced virulence, endless replication it’s only intention? Is that truly all existence has to offer?

“I’m never going to get to sleep.”
