about

Inspired by the song "guten morgen" by målib.

lyrics

i’ve done such violence
to the manifold
so that I can no longer enjoy it passively

she went away from here
and went away from me too
and when she got home
she belonged to nobody
she said you’ve got to learn to live with yourself
no more striving for nobody else

something’s gotta give, can’t go on this way
calling it a need was your mistake

something’s got give can’t go on this way
whisper on the wing what you forsake

wake up the grace has fled
amplified daily dread
first day of the rest of your life
breaking across your head

have you been misinformed?
do you really not know what you do?
what were you crying for?
sweatshop livestock auto-tune?

oh, nosferatu, who live on death and poor health--
oh, porno kingdom cum--
we cannot afford this wealth

something’s gotta give can’t go on this way
calling it a need was your mistake

something’s got give can’t go on this way
whisper on the wing what you forsake

something’s got give can’t go on this way
system on the brink of a bad break
