Life’s made up of the chorus you repeat
Your beliefs about your piece in each success or defeat
I may not be enough for the tough stuff coming
But I alone rebuff what corrupts from the nothing

Echo chamber running in my head all day
Randomly selected what tracks gain play
Kinda bounce around soundly pretending to be knowledge
But I learned false dichotomy from philosophy in college
Life goes on beyond the things we can examine
Fashioned by ancestors making half what they imagined
I paginate the paper with poetry prophetic
But the reverb in my echo chamber says I’m pathetic
Embrace my inner Aesop and fail at the task
Like every attempt at comics trying to draw on a mask
To distract you from the fact that I act all incongruent
To the slack pinned back when a pact was found fluent
Pursuant to the poetry and promise from the prophets
Fooled all of the fools flattery flowing from the faucet
We lost it what we had when freedom still rang true
Reminisce from before the fascist coup don’t you?

Life’s made up of the chorus you repeat
Your beliefs about your piece in each success or defeat
I may not be enough for the tough stuff coming
But I alone rebuff what corrupts from the nothing

Echo chamber running in my head all night
Bleeding right through my sight till the darkness turns to light
While I fight off the urge to keep my eyes shut tight
Pretty bright when the capillaries burst into flight
If only there was something that could ease my mind
While I rhyme on a dime all the time as I grind
With my shoulder to the wheel I put the pedal to the metal
Deciding for myself today’s the day I’ll never settle
Meddle with the treble for a while than go to work
Gotta acknowledge the job that I just can’t shirk
Like the Turks renaming Istanbul from Constantinople
These jerks will only roll over if the folks get vocal
Colloquially aside these souls can’t abide
Colonialist cronies collecting fortunes on the side
I lie to myself like they lie to the nation
Saying our primary addiction is our only salvation come on

Life’s made up of the chorus you repeat
Your beliefs about your piece in each success or defeat
I may not be enough for the tough stuff coming
But I alone rebuff what corrupts from the nothing

Echo chamber bouncing all around in my brain
Listening interrupted I don’t hear what you’re sayin’
Don’t know the rules to the game that we’re playing
And the banker gets the bucks cuz the shmucks they’re betrayin’
I been graying all places that I still have hair
Gonna go all white from the Balrog’s lair
Symbols of despair shared frequently in my texts
Where technology and psychology secretly intersect
We inspected all the food before the Trump days fell
And I don’t think democracy is doing very well
It’s a capitalist hell of wealth inequality
Run by corrupt nuts with unhealthy illegality
Specialities like fucking up perfectly good systems
Just to charge out the ass for the ability to fix ‘em
In 4 wheel drive trying to live adjust the camber
It’s a perilous world swirling around my echo chamber

Echo chamber buying solely what the home team’s selling
Echo chamber only listening when one side’s yelling
Echo chambers ruin fluency for abused truant youth
Echo chambers run pursuant to using deluded truth
Echo chamber raise the stakes on staying complacent
Echo chamber keep repeating that we’re evil adjacent
Echo chamber echo chamber echo chamber echo chamber
My echo chamber saying that our brains are in danger
