about

The best song I have.

lyrics

Look now upon our treasures here,
they fashioned and defined us
The charming motions we endear,
they processed and refined us
The very idols we revere,
they are the same that blind us!
And every year confirms this fear:
the future is behind us

A name with fame to reach household
will never fail to find us
We’re mesmerised (and so, controlled)
by that which has designed us
Our liberators from the mould
eventually confined us!
We’re bought and sold and now we’re told
the future is behind us

If all invention must compile
from what mythos assigned us
Then damn the imitated style
of all that once maligned us
So every thought is juvenile;
there’s no need to remind us!
Let crack a smile, for all the while
the future is behind us.
