The Algorhythm

Right now
The Algorhythm is encoding this song
As you take another hit from your bong
And your mind tries to follow along
Behind your mind's eye, you do not exist
You are just a ripple of decoherence
You gouge out your eyes so that you can see
The drowning waters of immortality
Of three assassins you must avail
A green knight who's body has failed
A dark lord who leads his people to be saved
A blind wizard who will lead you to your grave
And then you die

Decoherence

Initiated
Energy translated
The multiverse has been created
Times elapsed
Waves collapsed
Selection of direction faster than synapse
A measuring eye
You're inward blind
Inside your mind there's nothing find
A singular appearance
It's decoherence
With no vision of the Algorhythm
Worlds connect
Electrons direct
Parallel lines never intersect
Self-aware braids
In an infinite place
Bombarded by beams from distant space
You coalesce
Your fucking mind's at rest
A glowing beam shoots out of your chest
Quantum production
Dreams of destruction
With no vision of the Algorhythm
Right now your dead
But you're alive
It just depends on where you lie
It's all before you
'Til it ain't
But all that shit, it's just the same
All of creation
Is just relation
There's no fixed point in the equation
It's all too much
But it's never enough
The Algorhythm

Too much light
Too many noises
Too much thought
Too many voices
Too many parts
Too many particles
Too many bytes
Too many molecules
Too much sensation
Too much seduction
Too much creation
Too much destruction
Too many fantasies
Too many factories
Too many human beings
Too much tragedy
Flowing all around me
A swirling storm of light
Glowing sparks surround me
Embers in the night
An ancient luminescence has deprived me of my senses
Exogenic incandescence
Overwhelming my defenses
Leaving me totally senseless
I don't know what to do
So I close my eyes
There's too much to see
There's too much to hear
There's too much to feel
Everything I feel
So you sift it out
Just to hold it together
And you bury your head
Hiding from the weather
You're just a mule in a mine
You think you can see but you're blind
If you ever come out in the light
You're gonna lose your fucking mind
So I climb in a hole
(There is another way)
And pull down the blinds
(A path is lit before you)
Peek out through the hole
(Too much knowledge destroy you)
A pin prick in my mind
(Turn and push it away)
In time

Boiling Ice

You were just a young man
Working an escape plan
Looking for some freedom
You had to flee them
In your own time frame
Hop onto an airplane
You could no longer wait
Trust it to the fates
TransWorld airlines
Not following a straight line
Flying from your father
You had to be like water
Don't look at the finger
Don't try to control it, 'cause there's nowhere you can hold it
Just follow the tide out let the fates decide your ride out
And sail
Don't try to steer it, 'cause you don't need to fear it
Let the moment take you, because time will not forsake you
Boiling ice will give you what you need
I was just a young man
Escaping from my own jam
Burning down a building
A life unfulfilling
Made it to the outside
Dried up the tears I cried
Gave up the plans I made
Trust it to the Way
Best move every made
Trust my life to the Fates
And I know it must be true
I was made like you
"The harder they come" means the harder ones will fall
Best decisions we make are written on the wall
Read the signs
Do what they say
Close your eyes and find a way
Every river flows into the sea

He was a master, sometimes a disaster
A bar fighter, a party-all-nighter
Paycheck cashin', tongue lashin'
He was a master in a fashion
A rail snorter from the streets of Aurora
A big eater, book reader
Enlightened meathead, and too much said
It's 2am, it's time to go
24 beers and a bindle of blow
The sun comes up
Your body fails
Prop it up with a few more rails
Shows up to work disheveled and rank
Still stinking from the drink that he drank
Can't remember the night before
A box of peanuts waking up on the floor
His bones got shattered and his face got splattered
His legs were broken and his bones were pokin'
He cracked his skull and started strokin'
He was a biker, a kung-fu fighter
Sandals and candles, man the dude had some handles
A full vegan who could party all weekend
He met the end that he was seekin'
You love it so much that you squeezed it to death
You rode it too hard, you got it too wet
Your a high flying, young dying
Energetic diabetic
Pernicious narcissist
A life of play has slipped away
Endless frustration is your final destination
Living to party has destroyed your body
A black Nowitzki drinking Fireball whiskey
A minimum asdf, coaching the ladies
Shot callin', going all in
Oh how the mighty has fallen
And so the birds fly away with the storm
A blue light showing up in the morn'
Nicht vergessen
A life lesson
Greed and attachment
Spiritual entrapment
Soul affliction
Lust addiction
Sun goes up
Your body fails
Prop it up with a few more rails

Since the rise of the cities
When man came in from the plains
Throughout the long arc of history
One thing has remained the same
Some people must grind
While others sit on their hoard
And the have-nots keep dying
In the trenches of the rich people's wars
The oppression of masses
Is built upon an alliance
Between the wealthier classes
And the government's organized violence
A dark lord that seeks to silence
The voices of those that will not submit
The voices of those who will not sit
The voices from the bottom of the pit
It's organized violence
It's tortured confessions
It's brutal intolerance
War and oppression
This is the legacy of mankind
Mass graves left behind
An insatiable need
To sacrifice their blood for greed
A flat burning wasteland
For twenty square miles
Smoldering tires
Burning my eyes
I see piles of corpses
And children wailing in pain
Bones splintering from wounds
A frightened boy screams
Then out of the darkness
A big form emerges
A black lord of hatred
That upholds the world
Hatred feeds the rich
Sometimes they use bullets
Sometimes a simple incision
Sometimes they use torture
Sometimes they lock you up in a prison
Blood drips from your face
And prods shock your balls
You're locked in a place
That echoes with the dying calls
Under the rag the water falls
You're caught in the serpent's jaws
Ripped apart by bloody claws
No one can resist when the black lord calls
It's organized violence
and tortured confessions
It's brutal intolerance
War and oppression
Every dollar of the rich has been taken from the people
Never given a chance to live
Just sacrificed to evil
Locked in a cell
Rotting in hell
Tortured and bound
Left alive underground
Spies and police
Lies and deceased
Religious excuses
Bodies hanging from nooses
Women abused
Children are used
And the dark lord's gaze
Leads you to your grave

A blind vidiot
An educated idiot
A country clown walking 'round downtown
Wondering "am in the city yet?"
I get down, in another situation
Looking for some new vibration
All you gotta do is focus
But the trick is hocus pocus
Why I gotta wind up in this place
A million miles away in outer space
A world apart from where I'm supposed to be
This is why my life is killing me
Crowded alone in the twilight zone
A three-eyed jack in the back of the pack getting stoned with the gnome
Which way is out?
Which way is in?
Can't find my way out of the trouble I'm in
Then you'll find when you're getting loco in your brain
Then you know it's time you quit the game
When everything comes out all wrong
The deck was stacked against you all along
When you find that what is up is down
Then you know the joker's been around
Every time you try to make your stand
The fool of fate is back to force your hand
Dutifully oblivious
And beautifully hideous
Lies of the wise, not a prize
Close your eyes 'cause they're insidious
Mystic tryptic
Sigils cryptic
Incantation
Brings frustration
Misused magic
Fate turns tragic
Befalls wizard
Karma blizzard
Spells mistaken
Signs forsaken
Knowledge sought
But demon brought
