Synthesize the Mind

from Behaviors by passion fanfare

lyrics

My computer has a picture of an apple that a guy was eating when he died
And my friend has had pictures of that man tacked up on her walls for half her life
The government, they pumped him full of drugs
They did not know shit about what he could do
He could synthesize the mind, he could make me and you

Right now I work with kids, kids who are always crying, you're not supposed to look at them
I guess the idea is that although it won't stop hurting they might learn to sit still and pretend
It really freaks me out 'cause I am just the same
Except I'm way too old for you to tell me what to do
You can't synthesize my mind, I am gone from you

Oh why did I buy a computer, I could have used my money to help my friend
I could be making planets, I could be making novels, I am making my own end
I think I know you, I think you I know all about you, but every day your mind is such a shock
If I study, if I read the studies I'll figure out how to unlock you

My friend grew up crushing on dead scientists, you can guess she's pretty fucking cool
But she wasn't normal so she grew up in a war zone, it enveloped her after school
And because of that nothing can ever be worse
I guess I don't know shit about what she can do
You can't synthesize her mind, she is gone from you

And I wouldn't have it any other way, you're such a shock
I wouldn't have it any other way, you're such a joy
I wouldn't have it any other way, I can't synthesize your mind, they wrote it down
