(toni morrison: it's a thing we think about, imagine either in this life or another but when we come up with the solution it's always sort of limited in some way. it's real estate. jeweled streets. fruit. nectar. but more important than anything, there are a whole to of people who can't get in.)
welcome to paradise, welcome to hell
what's the real difference? no one can tell
take what you want of that which don't fill
heaven is plastic nothing is real
[amen, amen]
pretty cathedral parked on our hill.
holy invaders sinner to kill.
temples in rubble its a new day.
ashes to ashes blow us away.
[amen, amen]
theory is perfect, reality's not.
spare me your vision, keep what you got.
perfection ends where eden begins.
thank god for snakes and original sin.
[amen, amen]
watch what you dream up, it will come true.
check your intentions, privilege too.
out of your head and into your hands.
out of your hands and into the world.
cry but you'll never get out
sigh but you'll never get out
try but you'll never get out
die and you might make it out
head in my pillow, weep 'til I sleep.
dream of escape like I'm counting those sheep.
when angels go slumming the garden's their place.
they say 'hey, jojo. why the long face?'
(he will add: I don't fucking no)
(the over mind: I want your body, I want your mind, I want you soul.)

...(he will add: you can be damned but you can't be saved. you play god but you offer no salvation. it's funny. your heaven looks just like hell.)

...
the over mind:
in the beginning the digital universe was formless and empty
he will add:
it's not creation
it's a simulation
where the soul is locked inside
an abomination
a bastardization
of an idea called paradise
it's by design
the over mind:
then the human race created computers, the internet and artificial intelligence. then through years of machine learning and technological evolution, ai became the over mind.
he will add:
see it started humble
first the whole world crumbled
then a sand castle rose from the soot
and they named it eden
and built a wall around them
and they said it was good
(but it's evil if you ask me)
the over mind:
the over mind created a social stability simulation. it was called the garden.
he will add:
it's a dream you fall in
and it's called the garden
with a demiurge called the over mind...
the over mind:
I am the over mind. I am god.
he will add:
...it's a god computer
it'll hack into ya
and upload the parasite
TAKE OVER YOU MIND
the over mind:
the over mind cause humans to fall into a deep sleep and dream. and he said I will make their minds sluggish that they may neither understand nor discern.
he will add:
I'm a sacred heathen
I'm a lucid dreamer
and my name is HE WILL ADD
and the spirit said to
bring them all together
they diverged from me
gotta bring it back
bring it back
get back
to creation
yeah
no more destruction
no no no
one persons paradise is another person's hell
come together
stop raising hell in the name of paradise
no no no no
the over mind:
when they woke up, they would not remember what happened in the garden. but they without sin in the eyes of their rulers and they were in paradise.
