1.	THE VA IN AK WRITTEN BY FRANZ KAFKA 05:02	lyrics	buy track
A few weeks ago, more than 1 million Hawaiians received a phone alert saying a ballistic missile was inbound. These sensible American adults did not respond to the popup by scratching their heads en masse and wondering if someone hacked the system. They called their parents to say they loved them, and they removed manhole covers and told their children to climb in, don’t be afraid. a billion stars in the arctic night the supernova was an oversight the snow reflects like shards of glass and back to the stars are we even here? are we even here? are we even here? are we even here? the snow cracks beneath my boots muffled under dread moon no one really lives around here find per diem get out of here are we even here? are even here? are we even here? are even here? the rules they make no sense at all the years repeat and after all i don’t know anything i don’t know anything are we even here? are we even here? are we even here? are we even here? i found a fire inside the byzantine building that was where he sold his art on any other day i would feel ok are we even here? are we even here? are we even here? are we even here? i’m obsessed with time.
