Ego Machina (2017)
By

Call it cellophane
Maybe crystalline
My motivation is enlightening
You probably sense it
or maybe subtlety
isn't your thing, that is good for me
Jot down things that
feel like things that I'd want to say
Calm down, careful
Don't share things that you might regret
Call me too conscious of my every move
Call me cautious and intentionally vague
We'll call this a success
Maybe not right away
I guess that we'll just have to wait and see
Call it cellophane
I am preserving
My motivation is to be believed
I've got this process
down and now I'm talking in my sleep
Calm down, careful
Don't say things that you don't believe
