Looks like we've dropped a fragile thing again Dropped it so many times, I doubt that it will mend Because the phone calls stop, miles increase and I can't stand to stare at your words on computer screens I don't know what they mean they're just another manufactured need and they're all things that I can't pay attention to anymore They're all just things that I can't pay attention to anymore I know just what your fickle heart has got in store and it's all things that I can't pay attention to anymore, anymore I used to try and put you up on a pedestal I swear to god that nothing hurt, nothing made me feel as low as when I wouldn't live up to your standards But lately I've been thinking your opinion doesn't matter It's just a thing that I can't pay attention to anymore it's just a thing that I can't pay attention to anymore I am giving up on the hurt I held onto before because they're all things that I can't pay attention to anymore, anymore

"What's wrong with you? Even your good times are bad times and your great times are 'just okay' don't you know how to have fun?" What's wrong with me? There are no clean bodies of water amongst the rivers and seas and I am not comfortable where I stand, here on stolen land It's not that I am upset all of the time there's just a lot on my mind And it's not that I want to drown myself in confusion, depression, anger or doubt I'm simply trying to figure out how to live life and level the devil level the devil level the devil
4.
The devil has been calling your name since the day you gave it to him But you may not remember he was wearing different skin a different face, different clothes He looked just like one of those business men the kind who try to be your cool friend But I swear I saw him shapeshift something fierce He had his hands deep in my pockets and a forked tongue in my ear
5.
They say you don't feel pain- someone took your instincts away I guess you don't feel much of anything these days Don't you know something is coming? Don't you know the earth is going to spit you out? Don't you know that your way of life, it can't sustain you? Bathe in radiation bathe in ignorance bathe in media, television, internet bullshit Don't you know that stuff will kill you? Don't you know that stuff is going to kill us all? I was down there at the bottom of it too I've been digging my way out ever since
6.
The Saranac River had been calling my name but I drowned it out with the sounds of the bus and I thought about you in that downtown apartment so far from the water, so far from the north And I made my way down to your city Cold and snow covered, dragging my feet and I saw you through the window of the cafe wiping lipstick from your teeth and I felt the wind change direction felt those same teeth sink back into my skin I heard the cars like a choir in the cold air and I let your power in Had you on the forefront of my mind but the river wasn't far behind I watched as you gathered your coat thought about a dead man's float and you looked right through me as you headed for your car and I realized that I don't know who you are anymore anymore anymore
7.
Caught wind that you had left the last place that you fled to Headed home again, again so again I want to beg you for contact, blessed contact to ease my weary mind It's hard to break my bond to you though you've left me far behind Have you stopped scheming? Have you given up the plan? Because the air is still full of poison and the rivers are still dammed And down by the bus stop you wait, you wait so patiently and everything runs right on schedule and nothing is how it's supposed to be Once we prayed for chaos- an end to the order placed on us But I don't know where anyone stands now that these days are upon us Have you stopped scheming? Have you given up the plan? Because the air is still full of poison and the rivers are still dammed

about

Wireless Internet Radiation Poisoning or, Healing and Cleansing in the age of Anxiety

Industrial civilization and many modern conveniences can only exist through perpetual violence against indigenous and rape of natural resources.

What are we going to do about that?
What are you going to do about that?
