This Is Not Our Home

VERSE ONE
This is what’s happening
We’re yelling at machines
We’re missing the way they used to break
Way back when
VERSE TWO
We’re spending too much cash
We never do the math
We’re studying the maps of places
We can’t get to
PRE CHORUS
We used to have more time
For staring at the sky
CHORUS
This is not our home
This is not our home
VERSE THREE
We don’t anticipate
Nothing is worth our wait
We’re following the crowds and then
We’re fighting through them
PRE CHORUS
We used to have more space
Before this place became a database
CHORUS
This is not our home
This is not our home
This is not our home
This is not our home
This is not our home
This is not our home

Friction And Resistance

VERSE ONE
I remember when I knew just what to do
With my hands at times like this
Finding pleasure from playing out of tune
Feeling my way through three o’clock
Saving myself for someone new
And no one knew
CHORUS
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Yeah
VERSE TWO
Late November when the weather went away
Idle hands were known to reach
Out of pocket and into the wider world
They laid themselves on secret things sometimes
And no one knew
And no one knew
CHORUS
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Friction and resistance
Yeah

VERSE ONE
It’s not a calculation
It’s a vibe
It can’t be scaled
It’s alive
VERSE TWO
We know we want the texture
Want it real
We know we like
The way it feels
CHORUS
Does this mean things are really getting better?
Does this mean the kids are gonna be okay?
Does this mean things are really getting better?
Or are they just getting better for us?
VERSE THREE
They send us talismans
And artifacts
They like the way
We react
VERSE FOUR
Repetitiveness is a feature
Not a bug
We have the privilege
To unplug
CHORUS
Does this mean things are really getting better?
Does this mean the kids are gonna be okay?
Does this mean things are really getting better?
And for their worth is everyone getting paid?
Does this mean things are really getting better?
Or are they just getting better for us?

VERSE ONE
I had a dream about a murder
I saw the body in full color lying there
Among the ruins of the reboot
The robots secured the crime scene
VERSE TWO
I had a feeling I was guilty
But simultaneously, I knew I was asleep
From the midst of the strange investigation
The digital sheriff emerged
To serve virtual papers to me
Yeah, yeah
VERSE THREE
With the hat and the mustache
The digital sheriff looked the part
Running code for justice
The sheriff lusted after busting me
So I went back in time
Because the dream was mine
VERSE FOUR
I witnessed everything
Recorded it subconsciously
Before the dream amnesia settled in
I knew the victim well
Breaks my heart to live to tell
The story of their cyber-dream demise
VERSE FIVE
A crime of passion
A simple act of rage
Against the fashion
Required for the age
A crime of logic
And accelerated shame
A crime in which the culprit and the victim are the same
Yeah
CHORUS
I had a dream about a murder
I had a dream about a murder
I had a dream about a murder
And the killer was you
And the killer was you
And the killer was me
And the victim was you
I had a dream about a murder
I had a dream about a murder
I had a dream about a murder
I had a dream about a murder
I had a dream about a murder
