lyrics

where are my sisters?
where are my brothers?
where is my family
who takes care of each other?

in the blue glow of gizmos
lurk despots in diapers
and cyborgs with bullhorns
and crackpots and snipers
like robots so cold
with such ease they dismiss you
sooner fuck you than kiss you
sooner kick you and dis you
they got networks like insects
with webs of deception
they'll trap you, cocoon you
like a department of corrections
they come in all colors and sexes and creeds
they got all kinda issues, they got all kinda needs
little laboratory monkeys raised with no hugging
just a wire cage mamma and lab coats mugging
i feel your anger
i feel your pain
i feel the aching hole in your soul that can't be named

consciousness is binary
consciousness is spinning
consciousness is a circuit
when consciousness is winning
consciousness is binary
consciousness is spinning
consciousness is a circuit
when consciousness is winning
you gotta complete the circuit
alone there's just no knowing
yeah energy is destructive unless it is flowing
in the connection lies the spark
in the connection lies the art
you gotta be up in someone's countenance
conversing with their heart
you gotta complete the circuit
not just with human beings
with the sky above you
with the earth beneath your feet
when you complete the circuit
with everything that lives
borders get blurry
and the rest is adjectives

consciousness is binary
consciousness is spinning

where are my sisters?
where are my brothers?
where is my family
who takes care of each other?
