lyrics

False alarm,
I thought that help was here.

But it was my own reassurance
Bouncing round a hundred thousand times
In my own Echosphere

If every time you speak,
You keep it off the record,
Consequently,
you can keep your record clear.

And if you mute the speech
that shakes your frail beliefs,
you only seek to insulate your image
and continue down the stream
in the direction clout and credit steers

Directly from your mouth
and to “Am I The Asshole” Reddit’s ears

Directly back into the greasy pockets
of some Gates Foundation Financiers

And then Directly back into
the frantic final thoughts
of early-trial Neuralink volunteers

Staring at the numb and mumbling vacancies where recently had been their peers

Half of whom are glitching
with a memory stuck on ‘pause’
and half have zero fucking clue
just who they are, or why they’re here.

It’s been said
That Fear is all we have to fear
But that was back before
The Bezos Fear Condenser came along
Distilling concentrated fear
that’s diamond-pure,
crystal-clear, oppressor-strong
and woven into every single
article you read
and song they’ll let you hear.

Then Elon heard that Jeff
enhanced our fears by 86 percent,
and he said “hold my beer”

And not a single sheep among the herd
would turn their head, or say a word,
cause they were all too busy begging for the shears.

Begging for the muzzle
Happy just to guzzle feed
and watch a screen for all their years

Man, To each his own,
Can’t afford a home,
But they’ll let you
Have your cozy little Echosphere

Where, There, among your own devices,
you can break the seventh seal,
Overthrow the oracles and slay the seer

All the tomes were burned
And all the lips were seared

Shut your eyes
and all our lives just disappear

Now Blink em twice:
Welcome to your Echosphere
