lyrics

Gaze into this ball that I’ve dubbed “Crystal” like the dream girl
It will ask you many questions and decide your many fates
“What is your autonomy?” and other fun and games
It will take your comprehension and present you fifty gates

What’s your parity with yourself?
Are you where you belong?
Are you where you want to be?
Is the balance too strong?
Do the facts line up?
Do the lies cancel out?
Are your meters in sync?
What could you do without?

I can see the future of the world that fits into my hand
It’s not a big world but I can tell you what I understand
It’s going to be hot for the next few months, and if that’s not impressive enough
It will happen to be summer then
Why aren’t you calling my bluff?

I’m a parody of myself
Hit the same beats every time
Imagination dries
Predict every rhyme
Jangle all the same
Jagged, cloying, and tame
Every bored melody
Is a self-parody
