lyrics

Alligator Mountain
The mode of cognition that has sustained us for thousands of years,
by symbiosis with the earth, is being forgotten and replaced
by mechamorphism, unnatural linear geometry and the need to please
enigmatic insecurities with numbers.
Exponentially increasing population can not be sustained by the beast...
soon to awaken...a massive stretch shall rid this infestation.
Losing our cognition of empirical life...
The massive beast sits and contemplates
all that we have done with what we have.
The universe will replace us.
The mountain sits in ancient contemplation
unbroken through our countless recreation.
Thought of now just physical and lifeless,
un-dawned on us that we're built in its likeness.
The tree-line slowly shifts in conjunction to our disconnect .
Ominous topographical shifts, inhaled gusts, exhaled dust storms.
Circling dreams of rainstorms
cloudburst
While the massive eye opens we hide our guilt with technological advancements.
Lulled into comfort by rational linearity,
but bound by the same to dismiss life's rarity.
Seeing dirt as vile, vacating it at any detection
Not admiring of its presence or even its significance,
it awakens in retaliation, treating us as sacrificial straw dogs.
The beast awakes
the tree-line slowly shifts as an inhaled gust exhales as a dust-storm
The tree-line, slowly shifting in conjunction to our disconnect .
Shedding avalanches, shrugging quakes. Tsunami's and tidal waves that will dwarf all man made creation.
The massive beast sits and contemplates
all that we have done with what we have.
The universe will replace us.
Losing our cognition of empirical life,
The mode of cognition that has sustained us for thousands of years,
by symbiosis with the earth, is being forgotten and replaced
by mechamorphism, unnatural linear geometry and the need to please
enigmatic insecurities of swelling population headed towards its own extinction.
