One's attention acts as autonomy
Distracted we all feed
Spoonfuls of fuel to appease the beast's greed
Our thoughts held submissive to its stream
A portal to another world may ease a weary mind
But in the blue light infinite the exit may hide from your sight
The sirens beg to take you there to steal your ears and eyes
Where some sovereignty subsides
Smog tints air as wildfires surround
On each way's horizon
As close as you allow
A portal to another world may ease a weary mind
But in the blue light infinite the exit may hide from your sight
The sirens beg to take you there to steal your ears and eyes
Where some sovereignty subsides
I watch all your habits and I know your needs
Like coin, you're shimmering
I bend truth toward paths your mind may wander
Uncoerced, I shape the way you see life
Feed spoonfuls of fuel to appease the beast's greed
Our thoughts held submissive to the barrages of snake-oil
Feed attention to machines that our waste our time for gold
Drown
The current is too strong
And you're left in the noise
Where dopamine leans on your willpower
Headfirst in the stream
Where your interests and views are candy to lure you like children
Drown
Where a creative mind unknowingly asphyxiates
As it feeds
And drowns you in its stream
