lyrics

Myelination complete:
I didn't sign up for this.

Can you hear what I'm saying?
Blink once for yes.
And blink twice for well,
We already know.

Are there internal events?
No, only external.

Visitors talking in a room.
We guessed family were more welcome.
It's just that they're not your family.

It's coming back to me.
"Homo homini res sacra".
You don't need to tell me that.

Visitors walking out of a room.
You say you want to see them less
More and more.
That's not for you to say.

A life flashing before eyes. Ideally,
Personalised. A gap is implied.

When I fall asleep, my lord,
I dream I am back in the dock.
They read inhumanity
As I read from my hand-me-down
book of fairy tales.

Judgement and prediction must combine,
To make that which is judged predictable
And that which is predicted, judged.
That's not for you to say.

I am ready to become a mensch.
That is not for you.
You are a virtuous cycle,
A platform from which you witness
Generation after generation.

I am guilty, I am the witness.
You need to tell me that.

I am landing. I am taking off.
And I feel that I decide when I say "goodbye".
We feel that too.
