There’s too many thoughts in my brain stem There’s too many thoughts in my brain I do what I can to contain them To see just how much I can take I dull myself down to the brain stem I dull myself down to the brain I’m stuck in the mud of my making Was hoping that you brought a spade Lookin’ at me like I should’ve brought my own one You didn’t want fire you shouldn’t have left the stove on It’s so dumb, like pro-Trump battlers voting in what they don’t want No luck dodging the point before the bow’s slung Emotion, go on get some and throw some No fun playing in grain you gotta grow some For once in your life don’t do what you’re supposed ta This whole bigger is fuzzier when you close up Eyes wide closed shut, one rule gotta pick the right tool to get open But even the crow bar it grow rust on it So I ain’t got no trust for all that is so far so robust solid These polar opposites are robotic at low wattage Lights flicker at the post office Unabombers, you know bombers And no novice has known of us We buy liqueur and smoke rockets Till my liver, don’t, respond and I hit a, wall But it’s fine nah it’s no probs jokes, soz I ain’t try’na throw testosterone around a like rogue cop We’re weak now but we’ll grow strong Maybe in a week now shit will seem fine again until it goes wrong There’s too many thoughts in my brain stem There’s too many thoughts in my brain I do what I can to contain them To see just how much I can take I dull myself down to the brain stem I dull myself down to the brain I’m stuck in the mud of my making Was hoping that you brought a spade They said we don’t need any grown trees so they cut em up and turn em into pepperoni While the CEO is hitting up the Camembert cheese This whole world will melt you down remould you – metallurgy! When the worst seems worse than the thing When it’s first see, first eat, first drink When the word ‘free’ cease to inter free When the First Fleet docked on the first beach In the house first house built on the first street Like first shot fired when they first breached It’s the thirst of a fire in the firm heat It’s the murderers lying ‘bout all those they murdered left lying in dirt heaps Determined to bind em and burn em entirely Birth a society built on the back of eternally anxiety Covered up massacre sites like they piously call it protection and service no irony! Alright please, I’m sick of this bias scene All of our natives are going the way of the Thylacine Thrown to the waves of the rising seas While sirens seem to articulate all of our silent screens – I’m spiralling! There’s too many thoughts in my brain stem There’s too many thoughts in my brain I do what I can to contain them To see just how much I can take I dull myself down to the brain stem I dull myself down to the brain I’m stuck in the mud of my making Was hoping that you brought a spade Was hoping that you brought a spade To dig me out of this hole (uh) To dig me out of this hole To lift me out of this old, way To get me out of my mould To dig me out of this hole To lift me out of my old way To get me out of this mould

We know we know we don’t know Everything we own we owe we don’t own Scared to be alone alone we’ve grown cold Tethered to our phone we roam with no home I never wanted to complain... All I wanted was some peace... I just need to get away... Feel like I just wanna scream... Never wanted to complain, all I want is to be free I just need to be away from my phone a bit I could buckle any day now, I just wanna scream I just need to be away from my phone a bit But it’s so hard to look away from the image in the feed I just need to be away from my phone... Need to get up out of range where the rivers meet the trees If think you need the same then let's go A portal to different pane living in our pocket That funnels shit into our brain and cannot to stop it These subtle gimmicks are contagious, biotoxic A sort of invisible cage made of fibre-optics The way the mind is lost inside in this box of light Is like a native psychotropic, seeing sights that I should not have Life inside the pilots cockpit, I ain’t signing off To much clutter to uncover I’m numb to the dumb data Suddenly I’m dug in and can’t come up for air and I’m barely above par But I’ve come far looking for some part of the sums’ part Catching me unguarded I hunger for the substrata of loves' mask In this uncharted land I’m traveling unarmed The shadow is one half of the matter of one man No narrative un-slanted, or character unmarred It’s life without the meaning off... I gotta go I think I'm being watched... It's hard to know what all these people want... Like an opal in a sea of rocks... Look closer and you'll see my faults... I gotta go I think I'm being watched... It's hard to know what all these people want... Like an opal in a sea of rocks... Look closer and you'll see my faults... A good book, a bag of weed, sharp pencil and a page I just need to be away from my phone a bit I ain’t try'na be a meme, nor a feature on your page I just need to be away from my phone a bit If I fail to reply please don’t take it as a diss I just need to be away from my phone a bit Impatient to arrive and regretting what I missed I just need to be away from phone… Just a place on my own where my brain can offload All this angst and this anger that strangles me slowly And drains me like fang on my throat, you don't know me! We don’t speak anymore homie there’s no need To keeping up with that bro-theme, we've both been Drifting on unknown streams and got our own reasons So now you only see what your phone sees A smoke screen of photos and woke memes, Emojis, slogans with no meaning Still most read, into these motifs Like “oh jeez bro that is so deep” Well so be it, I just can’t relate to that code speak It’s cold to me... Resent it cuz the way that it’s sold to me As freedom when really it false beauty Concealing the whole truth The feeling the folds through me When I’ve been involved too deep is Kinda soothly yet eerie as old movies Involuntary moodie I’m ordinary cruisy But all it’s gets confusing when thoughts are buried in 2D Tech is a tool but now it’s us that it’s using If we don’t pay we’re the product and I don’t trust what it’s doing but I know you know this shit I know you sense something’s wrong, I know you noticed it We all pretend that it’s not and I’m not saying I’m right, I just feel sane when I write, it’s how I cope with it... Never wanted to explain, all I wanted was some peace I just need to be away from phone a bit I could buckle any day now, I just wanna scream I just need to be away from my phone a bit But it’s so hard to look away from the image in the feed I just need to be away from my phone… Need to get up out of range where the river meets the trees If think you need the same then let's go Let’s go Yeah… Just get in man… Fuckin’ drive… keep driving Huh… it don’t matter where Somewhere away…
