lyrics

Scrub away the things unseen.
Repeat and then we’ll reconvene
And go.

You told them that your hands were clean;
A consequence of your routine.
It shows.

Littoral,
Branched coral,
Ground up, will scrub you clean.

Evangeline, Evangeline.
Evangeline, Evangeline.

Algorithmically banish all your guilt.
Neurochemistry mentally rebuilt;
Binary trees absent of leaves; you’re trapped or free.

Things encoded in your genes
Will not regress you to the mean,
You know.

Drafted structures unforeseen
Make it hard to intervene,
Although—

Resistors,
Transmitters;
Thank god you’re a machine.

Evangeline, Evangeline.
Evangeline, Evangeline.

Pharmacologically bank your mind with silt.
Line up all your thoughts into circuit quilts.
Skeleton keyed chemical parsimony.

Literal,
Branching coral.
Ground up, it’s from the sea.

Resist,
Transmit.
You must know you’re a machine.

Algorithmically banish all your guilt.
Neurochemistry without flaws rebuilt.
Trapped by your tree, binary fate unveiled by leaves.
