En Règle (and Out)
Meteoric And dysphoric And soldered by hand— A misleading worldview that I can’t withstand.
Impressions, They are all tested, But not central to me; Logic gives way before practical needs.
Consciousness and cognizance Combine to dissonance. It’s a tough to translate Psychological state That hates what I create.
Replicative methods Define what is true; Subjective distress At a mental review Of the rules that I’ve unglued.
Atmospheric, Esoteric, I don’t understand How natural selection deals this kind of hand; Leaving spandrels Not likely to end well; They’re causing disease. My dysphoria’s dealing out death by degrees.
And cognizance kills confidence In any providence. It’s my tough to translate Psychological state Subjective and ornate.
The sky has been calling For thousands of years; Explorative risks on a Literal sphere. It appears I would volunteer.
Incurring costs That we’ll exchange for our benefits. Why is that we don’t have them yet? Just a null set of our own regret?
And I am upset, Pinning my worth on my sobriquet, Tracing ennui with my cigarette, Wearing the unwanted coronet Of the space cadet.
And cognizance kills confidence In any providence. It’s just my tough to translate Psychological state That hates what I create.
Replicative methods Define what is true Subjective distress At a mental review. The sky has been calling For thousands of years; Explorative risks on a Literal sphere.
I’ll pay down your costs If you take on my debt; We’re trading for something That we don’t have yet. It’s not clear Who’s looking out of my mirror.
