You’re not paranoid. They really are out to get you. You’ve made yourself a threat. You matter more now than ever. You’ve seen through their disguise. A thousand bloodshot eyes. Consume. Punch that clock. Punch that clock. Consume. Don’t ask too many questions. Don’t give up.
2.
This is not the time to think small, on the micro-level, without considering all ... waiting until it’s too late, until we’re past the tipping point. Time to dream big. They’re gathering steam. Can we put the fire out before it’s too late?
3.
I’ve only lived a short time on this spinning globe. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do have common sense. What do they have? Just bullshit in their head about how everything’s a fucking conspiracy. Going down a bad path. I think the internet’s fucked up this whole goddamn planet. What are you listening to this on right now?
4.
NOT ENOUGH 01:31
Just sit back and relax. Gotta enjoy the bumpy ride. It’s the time of your life. Never thought it’d come to this. All the years of bullshit are coming to a head. Did you do enough? Did you think through this enough? Guess we’ll see …
5.
They’re in a trance. You can see it in their eyes. You can hear it in their voice. You can feel it in the air. They’re in a trance. It’s a deadly dance. I don’t know what the answers are. I’m just as perplexed as you. They’re in a trance.
6.
2020. What a goddamn year. Just another one in a long line of human misery, I guess. Does it have to be this way? Does it have to be a struggle? Do we have to keep buying in, keeping their pockets fat as we drink their poison? We wanna believe in something. We wanna believe in anything. Why not each other? Why not now? If not now, then when? If not you, then who?
