i’m not a rapper i’m a post-modern exorcist chew and spit venom from the solar plexus—header-less no signifiers are holding the data down effortlessly switch pronouns hope the beta round goes public fuck it, I know they’ll never love it can’t have another kind of lover huddled up for nothing can’t snuggle up like snuffleupagus they’re stuck up on the naughty bits a shudder hearts tangled up like a nautilus mind all in a pad lock i heard it tapped out these people comment on the news sites all night they want a hail mary heavy last pass on the tv on the track and on the feed they keep it at intolerant hollering like a bigger man is a better man the louder man wins when he understands a man is a man and that’s that won’t hear another fact the last cat to deliver that news was in a trap but it’s better than the last time don’t let it be another noise pushed into the background all the time keep your ears flush down to the ground intertwined with all they hear around ever since i was an infant i’ve never been different lower middle class white male with all the privilege that’s hidden in that system codified and when i listen to my own voice terrified i’m no better than the news site commenters trite little monikers blocking behind the monitors i’ll write a hotter verse but i’ll never be an arbiter capacitors blown when i see what it oughta been a little perspective here a little empathy over there a little reassurance right now that our smiles are sincere but no put the bitterness on max flow play the highlight reel in slo-mo to photo your foes i used to be a troll rolling low on compassion so it’s not difficult to grow up from last rung listen close listen all the time listen especially when you’re feeling least inclined don’t let it be another noise pushed into the background all the time keep your ears flush down to the ground intertwined with all they hear around

i wanna forget all the things i wanna forget all my dreams i wanna forget what it means to be happy you said that you think that we’re better apart think we’re better off suited on the hard work started better off friends break it off smart cuz planning everything’s not for the faint hearted i admit that i fucked it up broke your trust lightbulb covered in blood smeared and shattered no good pitter patter no love it doesn’t matter what happened in the next 7 months so here we sit dragging out feet same damn argument every week it’s like a broken lp playing at the wrong speed got your PTSD from the stress, that’s me we’re like dining dead since the whole world crashed right down on your pretty head and i regret what i said to those other girls ever the same all of the days i am caught in a haze such a malaise part the craze in an ennui phase better take another advil sit on the stage another mistake better get paid cuz i’m on the couch glazed over so alone with just my words on paper take a break but it just feels faker never was good at being real truthful useful to know now i’m just a heartbreaker soul taker living on the edge of my empty bed i miss your 31 flavors no stranger to a jarmusch film in a paradise our luck works like erasers head on like the dining dead since the whole damn song’s been about the past tense guess i’ll never win you back instead my dread that the bitterness you kept is all that’s left when i said

[uh what] this is not a fantasy, it is a program this is not reassuring—you can botch it you make one you cannot desire without it awaits you, not a concept, but a practice you never ready the body how do you make without a body how do you mate i am a body how do you make without a body i am a void—we are the body [fucking stop it] we will not answer the question of why it is not enough, the abstraction the organisms are strata without sense doubtless anything is possible (you never ready the body without organs) how do you make without a body how do you mate i am a body how do you make without a body i am a void—we are the body (rawr)

a sea through angling the stay the picture ban the structure’s quark truth transcribes the fueling dark the crack completeness a synapse hangman hangers house the mound reality disobeyed morning fire and four derailed on sea bombing our odd moon’s king (sabotage beam) delightful ash perceived roared mind through spiraled dimensions of space its signal marks the structured with untelling how the mind blinking out of moon’s long reach my roar shattering to stop me the dark you never want to meet extract the nervous sunshine (fire and four derailed on sea) as i write this down some kind of calm returning what used to be my home a terrifying and familiar song

you’re the you’re the best you’re the best around the nestor to my argonauts the castor to my pollux you’re the neptr to my finn to my jake and all the cartilage stretching thin it’s like deception doubling down i heard the ball before i caught it pop lock it drop it hot it’s not a bother stop at top knowledge on the wheel he’s not your father take another spin pat an attempt to live and prosper pay the doctor run fast a lot of the coffers are lined in blood a lot of the pipers are paid in blood a lot of the music is made in blood a lot of the kingdoms reign in blood a lot of the roads are paved in blood a lot of the ledgers are lined in blood a lot of the music is made in blood a lot of the pipers are paid in blood a lot of the kingdoms reign in blood (neato!) you’re like a batman with no cave living inside the bathroom case a center for stage a little mistake a bitter repeat at the end of the phrase and i’m not laughing not today i’m not amenable today at all i won’t be caught in such an obvious distraction (a bitter repeat at the end of the phrase) a lot of the sound is found in blood a lot of the crowns are drowning in blood a lot of the towns are teeming in blood undiscovered and living in blood there’s a country unlimited with livid contrapuntal sentences intersecting similar thoughts inhibited only by the distance and i’m not bitter or i’ll never tell there’s a lot that we’re not saying cuz it started off well you’re like a batman with no cave living inside the bathroom case a center for stage a little mistake a bitter repeat at the end of the phrase

about

"the sonic youth of noise rap" - josh smith, the columbia beet

"Autocorrect hail from Columbia, South Carolina and they have an EP out which has a title I can’t pretend to understand." - will harrison, the unheard nerd

"It’s difficult to say whether Autocorrect is making a serious statement or pulling off some elaborate hoax, but it hardly matters. The music demands attention, even if the motives are unclear." - michael spawn, columbia free times
