Progress Trap (demo)

touchy feely unpublised poet
strikingly accurate
the king of nowhere
big wicker ventriloquist
fanatical killers
rule the world
does anything we do here
even matter anymore
the whole world is your oyster
dont come knocking on my door
buy it shuck it throw it away
you know want some more
we're lieing in our bed
we made it
the eye upon
the pyramid
on the money in your wallet
is the first person singular pronoun
when you're refering to yourself
the mind withwhich you're thinkin
is comprised of your environment
the body you reside in
is perspective of your mind
does anything we do here
even matter anymore
the whole world is conflicted
and the whole world is at war
corporations take from us
our very dreams and futures
as time runs out
we stare at entertainers
inevitable negative long-term consequences
outweigh the gains
of an action perceived as progress
because it solved a short term problem
respond to this awareness
please dont miss the message
we have to learn the lesson
humans change accordingly
does anything we do here
even matter anymore
the whole world is connected
but the whole world is a whore
i take that back she wasnt willing
pinned her to the floor
now shes dying
but we still could save her

Special thanks to the WU name generator and wiki wiki wik wikipedia for helping me write this song.

glad we talked about it.

Fundamentally, i liked the thoughtfulness and meaning-steeped lyrics. I also liked the simplicity and unprocessed vocals. I also really liked that it's so different from the last few things I heard from you. I always like to hear really drastic changes in style.

I could go on and on about things I don't like about it, but the thing about me, is I can do that about ANYTHING. I think I will do more good for you as an artist if I am nurturing, focused on the positive, and more interested in seeing how you develop by yourself, than to try and guide you with my opinion.

So, with that, I'll say, keep it up, it's an interesting new direction for you. I think focusing your complexity on the message instead of the music is a good thing.
