Bust Out Breakdown

Can't you get to sleep?

Can't you choose between oblivion and infinity?

Take your place on the information highway

Find a space 

And make some friends 

Thumbing at the keyboard, never stops 

Your stream of consciousness is just

Shot in open air 

Now the outside feels like Oz

The strangers watch and send applause

But there’s really no one there

I float the phone a flam 

It's like my extra hand

I keep the ringer buzzing all through town

I'm gonna bust out, breakdown

I see swiftly changing layers shifting the narratives

As our imperatives bear to tear institutions sparelessly

Rat hands in the hair of new media; Can shut down a city

And mush what's there to an unchilled and fizzy

Static eccentricity 

Clutching to their righteous minded ornery 

Stare at my surroundings, clicking a pen

Waiting around, just for a friend

Pick CPU

Make your peace with systems

Smarter than you, algorithms 

It's just the new leash that they use

Rain in jokes erodes me

TikTok's vocabulary

Me and my buddies, we talk all the same sounds

I'm gonna bust out, breakdown

When they come, they won't tell you

You'll just have to know some one who'll 

Let you in or melt in your skull 

It'll rule for those who'll still rule

All, all of our days 

Call yourself the sun, burn the grazing

You’ll be nobody’s fool

But you'll be a robot’s slave 

Service with a smile, programmed right in

Hit you with a scan, a "My, my, you're thin."

Hit the ground in a dream

We can only look within

We'll never work outside again

Cause the self-checkout don't scream

I breach the screen with concrete 

It makes the screentime obsolete

I crack a smile as it's falling down

I'm gonna bust out, breakdown

I’m gonna bust out, breakdown

I’m gonna bust out, breakdown

I’m gonna bust out, breakdown
