about

Artist's Statement:
Continuum is by far the oldest track on the album. I first wrote it before I knew anything about rapping, beat-making, recording...anything. I first recorded it about a year and a half before this current version was made. The first time around, I half-assed a rap over Captain Murphy's "Between Friends" instrumental. The second time, it took an acoustic turn and I made a beat out of Matt Costa's "Sunshine." The third time, and what I thought would be the final version, I made a complex piano part that eventually morphed into a heavy hitting synth beat. This, hopefully, final time I decided to lay back the beat a lot. It was originally written as a poem so I wanted to lay it out a little more in that direction. This track encompasses my love of the universe and my hatred for pop music.

lyrics

Continuum:
Mother Nature I'm so sorry that we raped ya,
But it's just a matter of Father Time until he's screwed too,
Traversing our perception of what happens and when,
Physically taking a good look at what has been,
We never put a face to space, Is that his kin?
Due to the continuum I think it might be his twin,
But thanks to future experiments it's also wearing thin,
I see all and I am all, I am completed zen,
Once I touched technology I deleted the pen,
Depleted my friends I told you mother fucker that I am completed zen, but
It's natural sin, the way that our curiosity controls,
So we sniff, snort, toke, smoke weed, and roll,
We tote guns in the street like animals in heat,
Put one in the hole, one on the deck and another one in the chamber,
We're more evolved than that we Gotta change our behavior,
Not even the soft New Testament god would ever save ya,
And all I care is that she answers my calls,
I feel like I'm getting mauled in Charybdis'' jaws,
The day I rise is the day that skrillex falls,
Which is never...damnit, (exhale on pause)
The day pigs fly is the day I die,
And the day I fly is the day it all collapses,
Quarks spinning out of protons depleting the masses,
The universe expanded too far for the dark matter,
Dark energy prevailed and all the people all hailed,
A god that isn't watching and that had already failed,
Just like me, my eyes watched everyone else and I did everything for self,
And you only tried to help but I never listened,
Now you're christening a marriage and I'm still waiting in the carriage,
I fire a barrage of lobbed words into the air and I guarantee you'll never hear any of it, they just fly by your ears, and hopefully through your hair,
I wish that I could see you but I wouldn't ever dare,
And you'll never even care,
So I live in fear, that I'll never see you,
And you'll never remember things that we used to do,
Simulate existence, not making any progression,
My thoughts are the sure fire results of my depression.
Bad memories combined with zero reloads might just be the results of forgotten cheat codes.
