This was a quick little track I did with some old lyrics and a beat I put together this past weekend. Part of an EP, Misanthropomorphic Widescreen, of similarly loose stuff on very new beats with very old lyrics I recorded the same weekend: http://ultraklystron.bandcamp.com/album/misanthropomorphic-widescreen
Lyrics:
v1.
everything is work / in the studio, the lab
and the lab on campus / when home is getting drab
my code is getting rad / the solutions all fallout
functions don't call back / all they do is callout
when i'm finally working / it doesn't feel empty yet
but i feel unfilled / enumerate as an empty set
technically one / but it doesn't mean much
because I'm everywhere / yet never seen but
i am pretty sure / this life is not in NP
sometimes it's so good / i feel like i'm Tenchi
and when the carnival goes / i know it'll be back soon
and sometimes you clean up / when life sucks like a vacuum
i have limitations / i am aware and on that
i'd like to be madoka / but i have yet to get a contract
my fame's staying compact / at least in the short term
but i'll defend my territory / even when my fort's burned
ch.
i'm changing
there's no going back
there's no going back
i'm transforming
and even i'm afraid
even i'm afraid
v2.
ask me if i'm satisfied, dude / of course i'm not
every option that i tried/ everything for which i fought
fell down around me / i should have stayed alone
i was a real fool to think / that i could build a home
not even a good jester / i'll never get a throne
but at least i'm not thrown / drunk texting on a phone
that's the funny part / i do it all sober
no wonder i'm so jaded / because nothings glossed over
every last brain cells / blazing here at full tilt
my head is not empty / in contrast it's too filled
wish my life was fooly cooly / wrecking up mopeds
emptying my skull / 'til the emotion here's so dead
where's the rickenbacker / bass note lobotomy
tired of living through / all these false dichotomies
you ask how i go from / cheap brags to introspection
it's not that i'm two-face / my life's at an intersection
