Artefact Lyrics

Once upon a time

In long adventure through Anthropocene

Where singularity bears no bright light between antiquity

The thrill of supernova an historical hang-over

Fractal aneurisms sobering in simulate roll-overs

There was a moon and on that moon a garden grew and on that garden flowers

Bloomed and on the flowers baby's boomed

The creatures who preceded you

Calamity and knots

Stood aghast at the capital

Cross neck deep into its torture complex

Tragedy of thought it's a war

And the origin of what she called feelings

Or homeostasis

Pictures on their walls

Were of earthquakes and decadence

Lacerated shores

Full of fearful hypocrites who

Larked righteous in embraceable destruction

See how it glows

Precious and shiny

Covet the stone

With double white binding

Tip of the nose

The power surprising

She's on her toes

He's out of sight

It was the folly of the gods

To reinvent and reanimate it

But their futures determined

That's thermodynamics

Then theories wreaked havoc

From muskets to plastic

Babies made dictatorships

And the light fantastic

Incarcerated neighbours

Offered hysterical favours

Claiming a repayment

They'd be deified and nascent

In an archetypal paradise

Eyes roll to the back of their heads

Shed their skin for wings to spread Kiss the dead

Speak to me in dreams

Set me free
