Wrinkle in Time

There once was an alien
who was a castaway
from a planet out of view of the
Hubble Telescope out in space
my people sent me down to Earth
as punishment for my so called crimes
Now I walk upon the pale blue dot
doing my god damn time
Earth and the aliens made an agreement
some called it sensible, others appeasement
in exchange for goods and services
they could send misfits for laborial reasons
So aliens like myself worked in the kitchens
under the sewers, doing the dishes
their labor freed humanity from mundanity
now they could live a life to their full potential
exploring the cosmos was now their end goal
finally their species was united and could really reach the next level
maybe even several
but the core was deeply rotten
with memories forged by the forgotten
their worst tendencies were never lost
just calculated into the cost
of doing business with
extraterrestrials
I told them to keep their distance
but the prospect of having it all
was too delectable
peace tastes better than war
but you know meat tastes better
with vegetables - I remember I said
Here I am in the flesh, found
Hope I don't make a mess now
I come in peace I had to leave
my home cause I was cast out
I'm getting ahead of myself
Where I'm from I was another hedge on a shelf
Who was I? A number in an equation
under heavy sedation
until I wound up on earth
under interrogation
From the stars I fell
No prospect with nothing to sell
It ain't hard to tell
where I'm at or from
a shadow cast out from behind the Sun
I wish I could run
I wasn't meant to do this
day in and out, repeat it's some bullshit
the boss is incompetent and stupid
I produce more value than these humans
it's foolish
It's a reality that's hard to take
Something's gotta give - it's just got to break
the future of everything is all at stake
lest God forsake
How did I get here? Who have I become?
This is not the place where I am from
a billion miles behind your sun
A prison planet but what's done is done
How did I get here? Who have I become?
This is not the place where I am from
A wrinkle in time ripped the sky above
Tore me out from the life I loved
From the life I loved
I am bound and drowned
in the flesh of men
Here I am in the flesh, found
Hope I don't make a mess now
I come in peace I had to leave
my home cause I was cast out
in this life I do not love
A wrinkle in time ripped the stars above
a billion miles from behind your sun
but what's done is done
Here I am in the flesh, found
Hope I don't make a mess now
I come in peace I had to leave
my home cause I was cast out
How did I get here? Who will I become?
I figured myself a chosen one
Cast down to Earth from behind the Sun
But what’s done is done
How did I get here and come to be?
Maybe the truth will set me free
That’s when the boss turned and asked of me
“What is it you want to be?”
(And so I searched and searched
Digging into the deepest caves of
My subconscious - I knew my fate
I would meet my destiny even if
It took me to my final moments.
Blessed be my will
Blessed be my strength
What ought to be mine
Will be mine to take)
Yes, I am a pirate

Bring me back
to darker days
to a fearful sun
casting shade
crying skies
tears of joy
I would rather lie
down and die
in the rain
Push me forth
though I might resist
finding comfort in the
darkness of this abyss
The thrust and pull
will thus be culled
I will decide my fate
atop a mountain of skulls
The secrets of the Universe
pulse through me
My ego has been my light
This is a Eulogy
Hold my body
I am hugged
by the light
filled from above
reaching stars
feel their love
this is what it’s like
to be on drugs
Hnnnggg
Sweat
Where am I?
forget it
I said it
I live beyond my means
I could have life beyond my dreams
What have I done to earn this peace?
There’s no more this and that
Just a straightforward path
it makes me laugh
uh ugh
ugh uh
Bring me back
Casting shade
Sing my name
Dance with me
In the rain
Casting shade
a perfect fit
even the grass can dance
embrace this abyss
the show goes on
despite my rot
the dirt will get its refund
whether I like it or not
(whether I like it or not)
and so I bid you
a sincere farewell
please cry not but applaud
at the tolling bell
Liberated
from a flesh-bound cell
thus is the thrust and pull
yin and yang
heaven and hell
Heaven and Hell!

shelter
here I will remain
nothing to be lost
and nothing to be gained
I will
survive the coming days
even if I am the last one
the earth will be mine to claim
the ruler
the despot of the dead
a light to shine through
the blackened skies descend
finally
I won't need to pretend
I can become a God
the beginning and the end
I hear the
Laughter
they will know sorrow
cause after I'm done
there won't be tomorrow
I am
finally
free from
responsibility
I am
finally
free to
breathe the toxicity
I have prepared for this alone
I am prepared to be the hope
the last hope of humanity
so as I wither and wash away
we will not see another day
we will not feel the crashing waves
because I did this all alone
so I am coming home
I I I I will
die die die die tonight
night night night now that I
I I I I am
I I I I will
die die die die tonight
night night night now that I
I I I I am
a failure
I die in a body borrowed
cause now we are done
and in the end I meekly followed

The Great Suicide
07:07

I pray to false idols
barely clinging to survival
massive credit card debt
chronically suicidal
We didn't start the fire
at least not figuratively
lung sacks filled with smoke
We started the fire literally
I need a dollar for your sympathy
and billions'll never get to me
got me chasing dragons instead of checks
trying to check out of my misery
they tie me down while I got itchy feet
smile on zoom meetings indifferently
another existential crisis sinks into me
fight a flight Don't know which it'll be
whatever it's just go with the wind for me
sort of like a willow tree
I try not to let the bullshit get to me
cuz I know fire season will eventually
off we go
to the void
off we go
self destroy
hellfire
sunrise
my life
my will
my consecrated vow
I will
defend
my home
in life
in death
in the end or even now
I will
descend
on Rome
off we go
to the void
off we go
Self-destroy
Hellfire
Sunrise
Off we go
To the void
off we go
Self destroy
I would never die
or willingly submit to your service
I am biding my time
to fulfill a bigger purpose
a pirate
yes I am!!
this has been an opportunity
all part of a bigger plan
which go
hellfire
sunrise
I I I I will
Die die die die tonight
Night night night now that I
I I I I am I
(And so I searched and searched
Digging into the deepest caves of
My subconscious - I knew my fate
I would meet my destiny even if
It took me to my final moments.
Blessed be my will
Blessed be my strength
What ought to be mine
Will be mine to take)
Yes, I am a Pirate
Yes I am...
