Unbecoming
โThe light of truth beats upon us without shadow, and the light of truth is damnably unbecoming to us both.โ โ Virginia Woolf
James Ivy โ Involved (Official Audio)

You just sit there โ info addict
Library endless โ Babylon crypt
Grow forever โ wisdom junkie
There will never โ be just one key
Spiritual greed โ stuff your pockets
Nine muse Goddess โ blessโd cursโd sonnets
Every need wants โ after something
Where you going? โ forever run then
[1:02]
All you need won โ it is now done
Just sit back then โ in Edenโs Garden
And donโt mind that โ youโre becoming
Marionette โpoisoned puppet
Man-child sickness โ โuh.. like.. but.. it..โ
So comforting โ just because it
Forced a flow state โ of โthen, fuck itโ
Bass riff turnโd up โ They say, โpunch itโ.

[1:21]
Daydream my way โ right into a
focus flame trance โ euphoria
I know that you โ too will love it
Did you think โ Iโd be above it?
aqua pura โ portals perfect
worldlineโs return โ mortalโs circuit
Numb yourself โ forever slumber
Apocalypse fears โ some large number
Intend the end โ into existence
End of the line โ well, good riddance
โTime is pastโ โ says a Brazen head
one-eyed โ AI totalism
Too weak minded โ for me to stomach
Was all this just โ my lonerโs luck?
This conduct โ so unbecoming
Can we become โ discerning loving?
[2:00โ2:19] (instrumental break)
[2:19]
Make plans to do โ something of worth
Youโre not assigned โ the right from birth
Sacrifice your โ lifelong to it
Too much to choose โ all falls in you
Meaning knew ofโ those whoโd pursue
What you seek โ is seeking you too
Triad of threeโ method tableau
Porphyry tree โ soul symbol grow
[2:38]
Can we be free โ of their control?
They close onto โ your lone foxhole
Future fascist โ the people, lethal
An integrated โ living evil
Self sucked right out โ purest blue soul
One who remained โ corruptionโs sole goal
But what of its โ dual-partner type?
For every hell โ is a heaven, right?
[๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ค]
[2:57]
Daydream my way โ right into a
focus flame trance โ euphoria
I know that you โ too will love it
Did you think โ Iโd be above it?
aqua pura โ portals perfect
worldlineโs return โ mortalโs circuit
Numb yourself โ forever slumber
Apocalypse fears โ some large number
Intend the end โ into existence
End of the line โ well, good riddance
โTime is pastโ โ says a Brazen head
one-eyed โ AI totalism
Too weak minded โ for me to stomach
Was all this just โ my lonerโs luck?
This conduct โ so unbecoming
Can we become โ discerning loving?

info addict โ Babylon crypt
wisdom junkie โ never one key
stuff your pockets โ blessโd by cursโd verse
want for something โ forever running
all you need done โ now Edenโs son
youโre becoming โ poisonโd puppet
โuh.. like.. but.. it..โ โ just because it
flow state, โfuck itโ โ bass riff, โpunch itโ
daydream auric โ flame euphoric
surely love it โ not above it
aqua pura โ carpe cura
ever slumber โ some big number
end existence โ well, good riddance
globalism โ totalism
cannot stomach โ just my dumb luck
so unbecoming โ a discerning loving
purposeโs worth โ no right from birth
give all to it โ but is it true?
too much to choose โ all is now you
let โsymbols growโ โ methods tableau
free from control โ in your foxhole
an integrated โ living evil
no more pure soul โ corruptionโs sole goal
hellโs partner type โ its heaven, right?
flow state, โfuck itโ โ bass riff, โpunch itโ
deep blue auric โ a flame euphoric
surely love it โ not above it
aqua pura โ carpe cura
body, mind, soul โ a triple choir
go go, glow, grow โ a higher fire
stand on sediment โ sentiment
seeking some โ hint of contentment
โHow well the skillful gardโner drew
Of flowโrs and herbs this dial new,
Where from above the milder sun
Does through a fragrant zodiac run;
And as it works, thโ industrious bee
Computes its time as well as we.
How could such sweet and wholesome hours
Be reckonโd but with herbs and flowโrs!โ
