Eyelashes! - Authenticity Lyrics

10,000 kisses folded into a piece of paper and drawn across my lower eyelid
To give me the paper cut of the century

Forever lost in a forest that I'm taught is mine
But is nothing more than a constructed playground for frigid capitalists
The body is a vessel for change and redefinition
Adorned, mourned, thorned, porned
All has been sacrificed for quick comforts and long-winded pontifications
Why ponder when a flower is 10 james joyces?

With all that is gained, all is lost in an infinite slushy of lugubrious tom-foolery
I've seen a million faces but the only one that looks back is my own

I've given up on books like lark
Instead larking my time infinitely hoping to one day matter - ii dont
Well ii do, but not enough to actually care longer than 3 #mindfulmoments

Cities are the new suburbs
The suburbs are the ghetto
White is black
But money remains power
Things change incrementally like evolution
The idea that everything is where it should be is most likely trash
The bell curve is actually a heart monitor
Powered by likes
Napoleon is an algoriddim powered by satan if satan were evil
My only goal as an artist is to have a great Wikipedia page

If I say something, you think one thing
If I dont, you think another
If I say a different thing, you think another another
Which thing do I say?

If voltaire wasn't born, would another take his place?
Literally, no. Historically, I guess
Philosophically, ii dont care

I know I hate nazis and pretty much all capitalism

Beyond that I could be a confident, puckish auteur ready to tell you what is up
Or I could be a drowning failure van goughing ashore
If our culture doesn't change, I'm the latter because it's more marketable

There's a good chance that everything I said tonight is a dramatic fabrication
There is also a good chance that I am saying that
So I don't have to answer to any personal questions about my identity
There's also a good chance that I am presenting this contrarian scenario
To add intellectual depth to my work for the sake of posterity
There's also a good chance that you don't care about any of this
Because you are going through a divorce
Or you're literally not in this room
