Thinking Clearly

(album: Nice Idea - 2023)

Um, whose mind is this?
Mine or the block behind?
My timeline, can't lie, I've not got the time
To consider when exactly I began to figure
That the bigger the picture the smaller I feel
It's good to restrict the field, it feels clear
I rouse up my hate and agree with the image
The memes in my mind come to life
I've made my opinions streamlined like they were designed to do
Uproar
But what I could really show up for is box fresh kicks and a Mark IV Supra
Who needs a past if you can't have a future?
Who needs a future?
I want the features, I want approval
The horsemen are coming, their hooves on the rooftops are brutal
Back to the feudal
Your worth, your weight and disapproval

Thinking clearly, staying focused, taking care
Thinking clearly, staying focused, paying attention
Thinking clearly, staying focused, taking care
Thinking clearly, staying focused, paying attention

Everything's gone and the battles are won
Were weren't half the time I spend getting things wrong
I've become a repetitive clone, I can't think, can't speak
Except to say, I do what I want
When the heavens all sunk, the ground rose up
The rebels got drunk on the pound, nose blood for the struggle
Saying, I'm out for justice
Humble past, luxury cars full of bougie giraffes
Whose eyes are unplugged appliances, broke but I'm priceless
I'm not buying it
When everything's wrong, like, it's wrong and you've settled for so much less than you thought you would have done
When the treble's too loud, the frequencies drown out the deeper reserves and down to now
Decency walks round, murderous look in her eyes
Ready to die for whatever the program decides you will benefit from
Being fed no lies, no truth
Just profitability
Which new cause? Which old cause?
Which press recall? Posted, don't get bored
You are what you want, have to want something else
The ads know you better than you know yourself

Thinking clearly, staying focused, taking care
Thinking clearly, staying focused, paying attention
Thinking clearly, staying focused, taking care
Thinking clearly, paying attention

The national demeanor is fever
Cash rules
The cleaner the counter the deeper the stain
Another avatar, aggressively public
You just need someone to freak it how you want it
Build in the muscles, ah, can't have the weakness
He's been lost in the mirror for weeks
Can't throw a thing away, bona fide hoarder
She's been blocking the source to fine water
Can't beat the creepy suspicion that
Nothing you do is effective or means a damn thing
The prime composition for social cohesion
With the one nation under the thumb system
Is general unease
Wishing for more
Keep up appearances, boost your position
Feel like you're drowning?
Get with it
Look at everyone else swimming
Get it how you can, get it on loan or credit
Get it on your phone
So the drones update your records
All you need to do is embrace competition
Give yourself over, acquisition
The itching in your skin, no, will never be relieved
The void in your stomach that will never be filled
The more you put in, the bigger the thing grows
No deeper truth is reviled
Greed is a hell of a
These are Orwellian
Grief for the relative's freak
Will the legacies be something better than we
Never meant to be servant of devils of our century
Please

I'm thinking clearly, staying focused, taking care
I'm thinking clearly, I'm staying focused, I'm paying attention
I'm not thinking clearly, I'm not, focused, can't take, I'm thinking clearly, I'm not, um, I'm paying, um
