“Wake up,” she said to me
After surgery
We made the world correct,
Fixed your injury
Echolalia, my sweet dementia
I swear to God I’m not insane
I repeat the words I hear
‘Cause no one pays attention
The sun is shining through
Over bandaged eyes
We use our knowledge up
And we vaporize
These days I’m sticking to myself
Nearly all the time
I’m staying warm inside
You won’t change my mind
Plastic bags and paper plates
No one cares what they say
I just want to disengage
It’s so safe in a cage
Oh, you don't care
Why do you bother?
I finally thought my thoughts were important
Only when they scared me
I’m the only one to recover
The album packs in interesting arrangements and takes time to try out a few different sounds. Much lighter than my stuff. But that's a good thing sometimes. Collin Kravis
