Mimicking Birds
New Doomsdays
(Exercise 4
In listening to lengthy statements
We will retain the speaker's information more efficiently
If we organize ideas mentally as we listen
In other words
If you hear a speaker on a cooking show describe how to make Onion Soup
You might listen to the steps explained:
Melting the butter
Sautéing 4 to 6 Onions for 30 minutes
And Adding Broth
All the while, mentally repeating and retaining these points)
[Verse 1]
Part of the sum we aren’t
Constantly conscious of our arms
With each and every breath of fresh air
We share this warfare
But it’s all over there
So help them if you can
But you should leave them if you can’t
There’ll be more damage done
Now if you turn and run
Surrender your guns
Look, who’s won?
Nothing good’s been done
Since when we learned to fly
Mimicking birds we share the sky
Didn’t have wings in the first place
Now we keep taking too much space
We’ll have to galactically rotate
[Pre-Chorus]
Someday we’ll fly away
Somewhere else into space
Establishing us in a new place to devastate
[Chorus]
Hell with it anyways
Because there’s always new doomsdays
And a solid falls apart
But it’s just like your heart
It’s as temporary as stones are
Sinking your art
[Verse 2]
Buried beneath the sea
Ancient remnants of you and me
Dissolve to modern day where it’s pretty safe
To say we have turned into something monstrous and overweight
There varies a face
Distinguishing your place
You’ll never be ignored
All your information stored
Indefinitely be of one accord
You can never afford
[Chorus]
Hell with it anyways
Because there’s always new doomsdays
And a solid falls apart
But it’s just like your heart it’s
As temporary as stones are
Burning your art
[Verse 3]
Gets pulled into the sun
I’m just a normal organism
It’s all the same concept
Whatever made up this mess
Expressed it with the intelligence of conflict
Sick intellect
Disfigured from the sounds
I guess the devil makes his rounds
Your soul gets swept away
Blinded by the light of day
Its ignorance sense is convinced
Makes no real sense
Like when we learned to fly
Mimicking birds we share the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Someday we’ll fly away
Somewhere else into space
Establishing us in a new place to devastate
[Chorus]
Hell with it anyways
Because there’s always new doomsdays
And a solid falls apart
But it’s just like your heart
It’s as temporary as stones are
Sinking your arc
You’ll die beneath the sun
Guaranteed you’ll be done
It’s as permanent as one-day’s sun
We’re all one sum
