about

Narth said that he tried to stop asking the machine questions, tried to forget this feeling of uncertainty, of not knowing. but the machine was always there. Narth said that he couldn't remember where the machine had come from, but that it was always there, ready to be asked a question. why had the machine been created? why was it consuming his life? why was it in his life at all? he began to fidget, glancing at the machine and then quickly looking away, until his frustration and anger and curiosity desperately combined, and he asked the machine: "why are you here?"

lyrics

had a dream about you today
sat and shared a conversation
that never happened
'bout something I imagined
Bulgarian ambassador
kidnapped by Americans
handcuffed in the back of a car
and I'm wondering how far
we are
from the truth of whats happening to me and you

'cause I was born with all I want
dissatisfied with my lot
pollution don't ever stop
just by living I fucked up
memory forged
demon born
won't let me forget
as life moves on
waits in my periphery
keeping its attention fixed on me
always on me
and its so hard to think
with its eyes always fixed on me

so don't tread on me
you might get stung
no I won't hold my tongue
tell my truth to anyone
its hard to describe
like anger killed my fun
in all I do and all I've done
I'm just a child of Babylon

soul was sold
fate was planned
no one told me why I am
educated by the state
to think and act a certain way
dragged into life
what choice did I have
hope when I die
no one will be sad
'cause plenty live this life
that we wake to every time
sun does set
sun does rise
memories fade as others shine
my mind follows the design
imitating whats devine
fruits of creation
giving me my sustenance
everything I witness pleads
keep your attention fixed on me
always on me
'cause I can only be
whilst your attentions fixed on me

so don't tread on me
you might get stung
no I won't hold my tongue
tell my truth to anyone
its hard to describe
like anger killed my fun
in all I do and all I've done
I'm just a child of Babylon

had a dream about you today
sat and shared a conversation
that never happened
'bout something I imagined
