Patronage Lyrics

Contingent valuation

Inevitable answer sought

Benefit to self interest

Hypothetical bias negating validity

Meta data with a known outcome

Distort the empirical basis

Factual proposition based on rationale

Certainty without context

Sound the horns

Your fragile words

Tolling in the burden of silence

Your vision, a dream, a stupor

Yet I follow

And prove myself

Incongruity and choice have no place here

Hold up the mirror, see beyond the reflection

Malformed enough to be written

Into abject history

The pen writes with tainted ink

With each turn, I cleanse myself

No truth in what you speak

Make me believe in your lie

A state collapsing

Inward, crushing motion

When the world chokes on disillusion

Creators hear the echoes

As brittle towers collide
