lyrics

Don’t change from the mad of the forest
Who made us and who will unmake us,
Don’t follow robots and gab like a giftshop,
Oversoaped, underwhelmed, a jabbering judge-all junky,
But be curious and stealthy and original
And most of all own nothing and do everything.

The mad of the forest never get all in a fluster
About the cyber emotional interface
Tween the debts they can’t erase and the virus they mite create,
But they can talk to the moths and the waterfalls
And they solve their problems by staring at the sky
And they’re happier than the whole upper lower middle class combined.

If someone tries to kill you, kill them first.
That’s what the mad of the forest would do.
If someone tries to love you, love them back.
The mad of the forest would do that too.
Why get stuck on the stories of the suck-souls you work with?
The mad of the forest would never do that.

You scream for sports stocks swindling supremacists n scionic superstars,
None whom give a flubbing fuck about you or your kids,
So you shower in death and you foul your own air
Trying fruitless to fangle your ten million obsessions.
The mad of the forest know that competition kills
And for time unimaginable they’ve reveled in nakedness and song.

It don’t take a god-damned amusement park to be amused.
Ain’t you ever sat and lafft at the stifling silence?
The mad of the forest often spend entire seasons
Trying to comprehend the significance of a leaf
But they never get anywhere and they always leave gratified,
Can you say that about your visit to the blowjob ad agency?

Don’t try to quarantine the mad of the forest
With “that was then” or “get a job” or “i don't do off-grid.”
Cuz the only thing that matters is who you are really
And you are not an evinrude cosmetic automaton
With hyperlink genitals and an assault trifle brain
But you are a lost child from the tribe of the mad of the forest.

You might be t hinking I’m saying something you’ve heard before
But hearing is an infinite regress away from implementation,
So take my advice before it blows up in your race:
Drop your parsimonies, your pusillanimities and your proud preconceptions,
Drop your clockfights, your car caroms and your cadaverous castrated confections,
And go home to the mad of the forest.
