John Brion - Knock Yourself Out

It’s something unattainable that you can’t live without and now the unexplainable has you riddled with doubt. Things begin Things decay and you’ve gotta find a way to be ok. But it you want to spend the day wondering what it’s all about go and knock yourself out. Why were put in this mess is anybody’s guess, it might be a test or it might not be anything you need to worry about. But if you’re still in doubt go and knock yourself out.

Jay-Z & Kanye West feat. Frank Ocean - No Church in the Wild

Human beings in a mob. What’s a mob to a king? What’s a king to a god? What’s a god to a non-believer. Who don’t believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive?

Andrew Bird - Measuring Cups

get out your measuring cups and we’ll play a new game 
come to the front of the class and we’ll measure your brain 
we’ll give you a complex and we’ll give it a name 
get out your measuring sticks and we’ll play a new game 
can’t have the cream when the crop and the cream are the same 
liquid or gas no more than the glass will contain 
so you talk about a hand of glory 
a tale that’s rather grim and gory 
is it just another children’s story 
that’s been de-clawed? 
when the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey 
have been outlawed 
I think they’re gonna make you start over you don’t want to start over 
put your backpack on your shoulder be the good little soldier 
take your places now 
‘cause we’re all predisposed 
measuring cups play a new game 
front of the class measure your brain 
give you a complex give it a name 
put your backpack on your shoulder 
be the good little soldier 
it’s no different when your older 
you’re predisposed 
that’s all for questions now 
the case is closed!

I said the world is full of endless abstractions

And I won’t be held responsible for my actions

Me, I ain’t going anywhere, just sit and watch the sun come up, I like it here
I watch the people go ticking past, go hey hey hey, you know I gotta say I like it here

“Masterfade” - Andrew Bird

Does it matter if we’re all matter?
What’s the matter?
Does it matter if we’re all matter when we’re done
When the sky is full of zeros and ones?

Imitosis | Andrew Bird

And despite what all his studies had shown
That what’s mistaken for closeness is just a case of mitosis
And why do some show no mercy while others are painfully shy?
Tell me doctor, can you quantify?
He just wants to know the reason why.
