Lyrics

Paper scars across a map
Lines drawn on skin and named home
Interest grows on grieving ledgers
Loyalty points stacked like relics in a temple
Monuments of quarterly light; plazas paved with receipts
Museums of hashtags hang empty wings
Fossilized carts bloom in the grass, a rusted herd
You practice these rites at sunrise — then call them normal
Buy the feeling
Own the proof
Swipe to belong
Collect the badge
Climb the curved ladder
Stay on brand
You punish the poor—then market salvation
You tax the air—package it as choice
You name hunger an algorithm—optimize the appetite
You sell the cure with lipstick and ledger lines
You paste "progress" over graves and call it growth
I do not need status
I do not need shame
I do not need debt
I do not need fame
Loyalty cards with hollow point values — pin-pricks on plastic palms
Award stages where applause is currency, not truth
KPI altars where hours are incense burned for quarterly gods
Green stickers on plastic islands, a taxonomy of mendacity
Budgets for war shaved into neat line items; children footnoted
Seasons of fashion blossom landfill flowers that perfume the oceans
Notification bells toll like tiny anxious metronomes
You answer them with breath and call it living
You built architectures to hold pain
You taught machines to count apologies
You dissolved care into spreadsheets and named it efficiency
You optimized attention and called it love
Your layout lives on forms and staple them closed
I do not need status
I do not need shame
I do not need borders
I do not need debt
I do not need monuments
I do not need your games
An observing mind files these rituals under: relic, economy, error
It asks, with no hunger and no malice — why keep them?
You call this order; I call this labor for nothing
