Subtractive 02:52
I’m done with the unwritten rules, I Refuse to shut up I’m sick of being the wellspring You co-opt & corrupt All flash, no passion Reduced to a hashtag When it comes to the work Preening pretenders Soaking in splendor Are rendered inert I’m breaking out ‘Cause none of you know shit It’s time for this Subtractive synthesis Talentless seditionist Acid breathing basilisk Pit friends at each other’s throats And claim to be a pacifist You thought I was a joke You thought i was a layabout But I’m the one who pulled it off And you’re the one who faded out
2.
I think about you when I’m not supposed to Private thoughts, secret ops You pervade my brain in cavalcades Private fantasies, quiet alchemy You got me doing laps in my brain Like a love-fueled go cart You’re the inevitable outcome Of every best case flowchart You got my heart racing And my body sweating Infused with you is my default setting Locked up top So there’s no forgetting Infused with you is my default setting You appear halfway through all my neural pathways Private thoughts, secret ops A mental oasis Homeostasis Private fantasies, quiet alchemy I hinge your visage like a well-oiled joint Your face becomes the list icon in every workplace Powerpoint A constant stream A waking dream You got my thoughts in topspin A pre-selected option Other notions in my mind all turn to you instead I wanna hold you in my arms and not just in my head

Sun Shy 04:49
dragging on throughout the day all my strength is sapped away i just wanna hit the hay and stray from the waking world but when it's dark, I come alive all my systems come online the night is when I energize and rise when the day’s adjourned i defy the nuclei that strike the sky from space when the sun turns off we fire up the coffee and the synthesizers and cubase we stay up late and we percolate and we oscillate in the lightless nightshift we shun the sun i’m justified just stepping outside in cimmerian skies in the lightless nightshift we shun the sun don’t wanna dominate the world instead, I’ll take the zoo and party with the polar bears and the kangaroos ‘cause all the coolest critters congregate nocturnally and I’m the coolest cat in town, so they’ve all heard of me but let’s submerge when we converge to escape this cruel candescence ‘cause i don’t need the sun to see with bioluminescence
4.
You got three more years than you deserved When every cute joke is an overture For a descent into psychopathy But now I’m healing the holes where you fed off of me I put myself In this penitentiary I just wish the confinement Was solitary Your self-constructed system For staying the victim Is now down one participant I overturned the false imprisonment Atrophied and alienated When no good deed goes unexcoriated All of it avoidable if I’d stayed a stranger But I tunneled out of the torture chamber Gain a derangement I put myself On emotional lockdown It’s easier to survive When the terror is blocked out I subjected myself To incarceration Mutilated before the escape But I’ve regenerated
5.
I’m not nervous I deserve it Just one is okay Another hit I justify it ‘Cause I’ve had a bad day Or I had a good day Or it’s cold outside Hide it from the world or be mortified Diseased reasoning and redlined senses Circumvent internal defenses Caved again And kill the shame With another taste Lean to function In conjunction With being debased It’s just a matter of managing hurtfulness While avoiding all reflective surfaces I’ll stop after this one I’ll drop this deficient Repetitive downward slide Right after placating the beast in my mind
