Inundated 03:59
I’m inundated, got too much to do It keeps me occupied, the whole day through The whole day through From dawn until dusk It keeps me tied up Punching the clock I’m overwhelmed Tired and bored There’s no escape From the monotony And wasted time I’m inundated, got too much to do It keeps me occupied, the whole day through The whole day through Hollow empty shell Where I once stood How to I begin To find myself The brave don’t back down They fight their way out Clawing for ground And breaking free I’m inundated, got too much to do It keeps me occupied, the whole day through The whole day through I’m inundated, got too much to do It keeps me occupied, the whole day through This concentration, is burning me out Filling the stations, with fear and doubt

South end kids, tourist in these parts South end kids, cellphones and broken hearts South end kids, pseudo hipster style South end kids, walking up and down the mile When you crack a smile, does he look at you? South end boys, trendy threads and band t-shirts South end girls, nose rings and mini skirts South end kids, with their dad’s credit card, coming from the Shopping malls, driving all the culture out When you crack a smile, does he look at you, The way you do? South end kids, escaping suburban life Millennials, livin’ in a teenage strife Influencers, and their paparazzi, they Take my life, and they make it a scene When you crack a smile, does he look at you, The way you do? And in his back seat, does he make you feel Like a queen? South end kid, coming from the shopping malls, escaping Suburban life, living the basement thralls South end kids, stealing all the cigarettes, smoking in the Bathroom stall, not knowing who they really are South end kids South end kids South end kids South end kids

Sell the tomes Invite me down into your own hell Breaking homes Brainwashing the weaker minds He’ll raise your hands up high And cleanse your soul tonight The magic healer The mystic man And raise your hands up high And clap them together The magic healer You sold your soul tonight Convincing tones Son of a preacher take you behind the barn Drink with Jones Fall to the floor and shake around He’ll raise your hands up high And cleanse your soul tonight The magic healer The mystic man And raise your hands up high And clap them together The magic healer You sold your soul tonight He’ll raise your hands up high And cleanse your soul tonight The magic healer The mystic man And raise your hands up high And clap them together The magic healer You sold your soul tonight

You’re just a sheep in wolf’s clothes You hide behind all your lies You’re just a sheep in wolf’s clothes You’re just a sheep You pander and appeal to the radicalized Buy up their vote with those villainous eyes You say you represent all the venerable ones But I can see right through your veil and your Sharp snake tongue Just give it, and give it, and give it, give it, and give it, and give it, give it, and give it, and give it up You’re just a sheep in wolf’s clothes Do you believe all the lies that you feed your Sheep in wolf’s clothes You cover up the truth by fudging the numbers To keep your reputation from slipping under You sneak and you lie, you watch people die Your list for power’s making me fucking sour Just get him, and get him, and get him, get him, and get him, and get him, get him, and get him out of here You’re just a sham in wolf’s clothes You hide behind all the lies That your feed your Sheep in wolf’s clothes Just give it, and give it, and give it, give it, and give it, and give it, give it, and give it, and give it up. You’re just a sheep in wolf’s clothes Believing the lies That you force feed Your sheep in wolf’s clothes You’re just a sheep in wolf’s clothes You’re the sheep in wolf’s clothes You’re just a sheep in wolf’s clothes You’re just a sheep

Tomorrow never comes For a natural phenomenon
You’re here and then you’re gone Don’t know just where you’re from The beauty in your eyes The love that you despise The truth she doesn’t know All alone in her headphones She sings your every word But doesn’t know your hurt The beauty in your eyes The love that you despise It’s why you’re glorified And all those bastards lied And take me to my church I need to know my worth As I kneel before my gods Am I real or just a fraud The beauty in your eyes The love that you despise Nobody has to die When the heart see through the lies Tomorrow never comes For a natural phenomenon
You’re here and then you’re gone You’re a natural phenomenon

In the future when we live inside a tiny little box With the neon lights that light up our every thought Over stimulating simulations blinding our neurones Deep connection, interaction with the singularity Welcome to the metaverse Where all your fantasies are coming true Oooow who who oow Be whoever you always wanted to Buy it, sell it, tell me about it This digital world speaks to me If you can dream it, you can build it endless possibilities But don’t lose sight of what is virtual and reality Welcome to the metaverse Where all your fantasies are coming true Oooow who who oow Be whoever you always wanted to Welcome to the metaverse Where all your fantasies are coming true Oooow who who oow Be whoever you always wanted to

I can feel the blood It’s running down my face And pooling in the mud Factions warring, do you Treasure human life or Stand with the artificial 
Who do you serve In the artilect war Servant to the master Robot overload Build them fast now, Built them stronger Billions dead in the Pursuit of synthesis Do we build our gods? 
Who do you serve In the artilect war
Who do you serve Who, oww The evolution of Human kind has lead us To the integration Machine and man become Machine in man, it’s just Another branch on the tree 
Who do you serve In the artilect war Who do you serve Who, oww 
Who do you serve In the artilect war
Who do you serve Who, oww Do we build our gods Or are they our destructors Do we build our gods Or are they our destructors Do we build our gods Or are they our destructors Do we build our gods Or are they our destructors

Don’t give up the Ghost for me Leave me, I Bleed money Leave me, I Bleed money Don’t give up the Ghost for me Leave me On the street Leave me By the sea Leave me, I Bleed money Leave me, I Bleed money Don’t give up the ghost Don’t give up the ghost Don’t give up the Ghost for me Don’t give up the Ghost for me Don’t give up the ghost Don’t give up the ghost

Don’t push, don’t shove, we’re all going down The ship’s got a leak and the captain has drown The lifeboats are gone with no one aboard Don’t push, don’t shove, we’re going down Don’t push, don’t shove, women and children first Get yourselves out before she bursts The waters will rise and the glaciers will melt Don’t push, don’t shove, we’re going to Hell So turn on your light, we don’t need the fire We lit up the world from Edison to Time Square Tesla said, “Free,” Thomas said, “Pay me!” Commodified basic needs, commodified basic needs Tell me do you see a world Capable of change Working as one And coming together Or are they too blind Just lost, misguided, obsessed With all of the lies So strap yourself up to a big rocket ship Fly to the moon and beyond it 
Reach outer space, don’t stop till your gone Cause the world is going to flames Yeah the world is going to flames Laaa laa laa la la la laaa la la la la

They always kill the good ones They always kill the good ones Goodbye John and JFK Honest Abe and Dr. King It’s been a slice Don’t you know it’s nice They always kill the good ones

about

Jared Adams Winnipeg, Manitoba

On Jared Adams’ upcoming LP, Mystic Humanism, creative instincts roam. Hook-fuelled with baroque and indietronica flavouring, Mystic Humanism’s early 2000s-inspired alt-rock presents the Winnipeg singer-songwriter’s hot takes on the now: the metaverse, AI’s takeover, and earth’s unsteadying balance; urging the importance of stepping back and reassessing, even when it’s hard. ... more
