“This here album track, anyway, is called “Cry for Judas,” it is about survival but that’s kind of an oversimplification, it’s also about building a vehicle from the defeated pieces of the thing you survived and piloting that vehicle through the cosmos, it’s kind of complicated but people who know what I’m talking about will kind of intuitively get the idea and the rest of you will I hope be able to get a sense of it through the song.”

#me when i am possum #and it is night
When the house 🏠 lights 🏮 all go dark 🕶️ Shuffle 🔀 on 🔛down ⬇️ to the park 🏞️ Spent 😵 stars ⭐️ in the winter ❄️ sky 🌠 Days of refuge in short 🩳 supply
All you 🤟 parasites 🪱 climb 🧗 aboard 🛳️ All you 🤟 vagabonds🦝 praise 👏 the Lord 👑
When the compost pile 💩 grows 📈 high 👠 Climb 🧗♂️ to the top 🔝 if I try Long ⏳⌛️haul truckers 🚛 still 🧍♀️ wide awake 👀 Guard💂♀️ their pathways🛤️ for Jesus' sake. All you 😀 garbage ♻️ trucks 🚚 to the curb 🛣️ True sons 👦👦 of the living word 🆕 Try not 🙅♂️ to get stuck ☹️ in the intake vent Grow 💗 fat, and grow 💗 old👴, and go blind, 🧑🦯➡️and be content 😌
All your pack 🧳 dogs 🐕 have your say 🗣️ Let me just find 🔍 my own way ↕️ Moon 🌙 in the trees 🌳 my guide 🦮 Walk 👣 with my 😀 jaw 🦈 hinged wide Once 🔂 more ➕ unto the breach Safe 🦺 in the spots 🐄 that the light 🕯️ can't reach

i am a product of billions of years and trillions of deaths
i am building a machine greater than myself
