Physical CD copy of the newest dubldragon. album, Macroforms!

The culmination of three years of work, Macroforms is an effort to examine and explain the space in which we exist.

Based in part on ideas present in the works of William Gibson, Macroforms is an examination of man’s place (or lack thereof) in the universe. In a digital space, what meaning does physicality have? When man has depleted the Earth entirely, will we have anywhere to ruin next in its place? Where do the divisions lie between, wants, needs, and desires? As unanswerable as it may be, it sure is fun to think about isn’t it?

Mind. Body. Soul. RAM. Blood. Bytes. Steel.

1.	Zebes 02:06	lyrics
If you can prove there's a shape to the universe, doesn't that mean there's something outside? And if there is, then what's outside of that? Onward and onward the spiral twists and turns, or maybe it doesn't. In this uncaring and indifferent vacuum that we inhabit, why would we ever think there's any more or less than what we know?
2.	The Woods Pt. 2 01:45	lyrics
Stones and trees, the bones of things Amazing the clarity an omen brings With no belief I go beneath The surface of everything they've told to me Too old to be rewritten, these teachings What worth has meaning when meaning is fleeting? I've known that I'm different straight from the outset Been lost in these woods for so long I forget No room to repent when you have no regrets Though the path that I walk is the one that I'm meant It's so cold, maybe I wouldn't have left If I knew I'd be here now, with my head against chest Bags ripped when I fell, very few supplies left How long now until the touch of death? Regardless, I'm gonna have to try my hardest Eventually its all gonna have to thaw if Anything I know can be trusted And if not then lets hope my instinct isn't rusted Or busted, or by civilization fucked with I've touched it, the balance I seek From this madness in me to the plants under feet Of powder that seems to have fallen from nowhere They rise again each year and flower with no care I don't dare to even think I can achieve The patience and endurance of the simplest leaf So while gritting my teeth, I tend to my wounds And hope spring won't be sprung too soon I sit alone, atop a wintery throne No room for company whenever misery's home Past the limit I've grown, into a thing unknown I reap and sow, that's the way that it goes No one cares, at least no one dares To trek into the woods thus I've cleared the air What doesn't kill us won't make us live longer And living with you would just make me a monster
3.	Case 03:43	lyrics
Never once did I dream I would make it this far I once tried to kill myself in my car Wrapped in the seatbelt, I leaned the seat back Somehow kept my life, turns out I need that Wasn't for another year that I learned how to rap And that simple act put my life on track Far from the best, much further from the worst It gave me something to do with my time on this Earth And it birthed a whole new side of me I found a whole lotta worth I didn't know was inside of me Now who I am is the man that I try to be That is when I'm not battling anxiety (Hook) It's far from a dream to be the way I am Hard not to nip the rose in the stem How much more will it take the aftershocks pass I won't take my life instead I'll take my life back One day I wanna look back fondly Like damn, I'm glad I didn't let me off me Plans never go exactly how they oughta see I am but a man and life is but an odyssey I never let a tear drop unless its necessary The chemicals ingrained are a debt that I carry I can slip at any time, and I get that it's scary But I won't let my parents watch their child be buried So worst come to worst, I'mma lay in bed With the covers pulled tight, right above my head But nowadays when I do, don't pretend that I'm dead Instead I take a little break from the lies I've been fed By my own brain, my own damn chemistry I am the reason that I'm struggling so desperately Maybe I should seek help, outsource it medically But I'm too afraid to change my wiring irreparably Harshly dependent, guard all my friendships 'Cause without them my life would be senseless Known to be a drag but they still drag me around They're the humans that support me and I'm glad they've been found (Hook) It's far from a dream to be the way I am Hard not to nip the rose in the stem How much more will it take the aftershocks pass I won't take my life instead I'll take my life back One day I wanna look back fondly Like damn, I'm glad I didn't let me off me Plans never go exactly how they oughta see I am but a man and life is but an odyssey I've got a deep seated drive to be alone That's why I spend most my time inside of my home Don't be upset if I don't pick up the phone I'll always call back when I'm better though 26 years old, 26 percent sure That I'll live 26 more, keep the outlook pure One quarter century, many happy returns It's a mad man that laugh as he burns Flame to the candle, ash to the urn Too much pain to handle, man must be heard Lest he be condemned to writhe in his hurt Lest he believe he'd be free in the dirt The circle is a cycle and the curve begins at birth If it hurts it's probably vital is a lesson to be learned I may talk a big game but haven't learned shit yet But what I do know is I prefer life to death (Hook) It's far from a dream to be the way I am Hard not to nip the rose in the stem How much more will it take the aftershocks pass I won't take my life instead I'll take my life back One day I wanna look back fondly Like damn, I'm glad I didn't let me off me Plans never go exactly how they oughta see I am but a man and life is but an odyssey
4.	Chiba Blues 03:39	lyrics
He knew what he needed, or at least that's what he told himself Warnings never read or heeded, caution left home on the shelf Walked in line and sat on benches, feet hit ground and cracked syringes What he lacked in good intentions he made up in false traditions Never late to supper, never late to let another suffer If he didn't hate his mother, he might be a motherfucker Fingers are for pointing, maybe they're for shooting Tell me what's the worth of the brain he is polluting Oh me, oh my its the neon sky It just burns so bright, he must close his eyes Sang a lullaby, to every piece of him that wants to learn I say goodbye and let it burn Let it burn, let it all turn to ash The records traced to memories and knowledge of the past Choose a path, maybe one less taken Or maybe just the one that the others have forsaken (Hook) He knew what he needed He knew, he knew what he needed He knew, he knew what he needed He knew, he knew what he needed He knew, he knew what he needed He knew, he knew what he needed He knew, he knew what he needed He knew, he knew, he knew, he knew She knew what she needed, or at least that's what she liked to think Neon letters, flashing lights, "buy this now" in brightest pink Skin is marked with pocks and bruises, kiss the ground with chalk contusions Feelings are a myth, write them off as illusions Never had to deal with a consequence that's real But I guess that's the whole appeal of how the neon makes you feel Every word she speaks brings her closer to the wire And every time she leaks its just fueling the fire Oh she's so high, touch the neon sky Refused to come down and forgot how to cry Sang a lullaby, to every piece of her he wants to earn She said goodbye and watched him yearn Let him yearn, let him yearn for the past The records traced to memories and knowledge of the ash Choose a path, maybe one less taken Or maybe just the one that the others have forsaken (Hook) She knew what she needed She knew, she knew what she needed She knew, she knew what she needed She knew, she knew what she needed She knew, she knew what she needed She knew, she knew what she needed She knew, she knew what she needed She knew, she knew, she knew, she knew We knew what we needed, here we go with self delusion Eyes on veins and drugs on the screen, the high lead the high toward confusion Tell me what's to burn in a place that is intangible I refuse to learn, bring me closer to the animals We never had an inkling, we never had a thought We never had a thing to do except to sit and rot Time keeps moving, we're convinced we're advancing Simply because we chose the decor of the place where we're standing Oh we sell lies and the price is high Deify these times as we write them in the sky Sang a lullaby to every piece of us we've yet to spurn We say goodnight but not too stern Let them spurn, let it all turn to trash The records traced to memories and knowledge of the last Choose a path, maybe one less taken Or maybe just the one that the others have forsaken (Hook) We knew what we needed We knew, we knew what we needed We knew, we knew what we needed We knew, we knew what we needed We knew, we knew what we needed We knew, we knew what we needed We knew, we knew what we needed We knew, we knew, we knew, we knew
5.	Macroforms 04:06	lyrics
Doesn't it blow your mind to think about the fact That you the sum of every thought, you've ever had If you are everything then what's that say for the things you lack Reality's subjective, what's objective is how they react Intentions are assholes, opinions quote verbatim Took apart the heart, labelled the parts and then displayed 'em Macroforms - bigger than the frame you're in Bigger than your cranium, bigger than your fading skin We play to win, there's no other way to end the game Victimized and ostracized, talk about a phantom pain I can't pretend to know a thing but damn sure can muse And pander to the rest of those that think they aren't confused So tell me what's the point, of thinking there's a point When any attempt to understand will only ever disappoint Is parallax to blame for the way that we disjoint More stars in the sky than there are surfaces of coins (Hook) Think about the way that you interpret what you think Emotions are transmitted in the time it takes to blink Why wait, now's a fine time to sink Macroforms define the norm, diagrams confined to ink Think about the way that you interpret what you think Emotions are transmitted in the time it takes to blink Why wait, now's a fine time to sink Macroforms define the norm, diagrams confined to ink The universe is shaped exactly like the Earth If you go straight long enough you'll wind up in the curve Follow that path back to the moment of your birth To find you never can define what life is really worth If it doesn't hurt, are you really existing Wandering so aimlessly for what we are missing Forever in the wind, intermittently twisting Screaming every now and then for those that are listening This whole bliss thing, I don't think that it's real And if it is, well, I don't really see the appeal Of ignorance as medicine, I'd rather just deal Especially when I know that this skin will soon peel Did society form just to nurse our own grief And now that we're here can we ever know peace I put forth the query but don't know the answer The illusion of intelligence is a cancer Think about the way that you interpret what you think Emotions are transmitted in the time it takes to blink (Hook) Think about the way that you interpret what you think Emotions are transmitted in the time it takes to blink Why wait, now's a fine time to sink Macroforms define the norm, diagrams confined to ink Why wait, now's a fine time to sink Macroforms define the norm, diagrams confined to ink So don't blink,maybe then you won't feel And don't think so you won't care what's real Don't be alarmed by the way we've revealed The lining of the walls and the things they've concealed The secret is the design was rather secretive None of those that have ever seen it lived But they never did, because they never were alive Fiction is the only place where such pursuits thrive For every Case & Molly there's a head encased in folly Wondering how to build the walls to keep this place from falling But as time heals wounds, entropy fills rooms Eventually this whole place will be a tomb Now you decide, between life and suicide Be aware that both result in ruined pride Eschewing time for the last time Watching seconds pass like a pastime
6.	Pebbles 04:23	lyrics
Am I building my strength with all this time beneath the globe Am I holding a world I won't ever get to know When I release my grasp, what will I have to hold Dirty deeds done dirt cheap, take me into the fold If I get what I want what will I have left To desire, building fire in the muscle in my chest I'm blessed or I'm cursed, its the best or the worst No such thing as inbetween, what is indecision worth Nothing or next to it, close to it, or something Procrastinate proficiently yet never fit to run things This too shall pass said the snake to his meal Would have gone for the cow but he prefers the taste of veal Avoids the taste of steel, if he had to he would steal Not just to fill his gut to prove that he's still real Though given is not earned, taken is not gained But ownership is relative so who am I to say (Hook) Pebbles rain from the sky, just be thankful they're not boulders You might question why, but you won't get it when you're old Sediment erodes with time, the rock gets easier to shoulder If there's a mountain to climb, just hope that peak doesn't smolder No cracks in the facade, flawless granite did you plan this Taking credit for the pressure put upon you by the planet If everything is cyclical the globe is even moreso You can trust that it will turn just like the stomach in your torso The stone you ate as morsels, fun was had with mallets The crumbling of balance is just one of many talents Cement tears tear through anything they hit Unless the skin developed is one that's extra thick The weak fail, the strong persevere You can tell which one you are if this song hurts your ear Gotta let the muscle rip before it ever mends What starts with a chip can lead to slabs in the end (Hook) Pebbles rain from the sky, just be thankful they're not boulders You might question why, but you won't get it when you're old Sediment erodes with time, the rock gets easier to shoulder If there's a mountain to climb, just hope that peak doesn't smolder A landslide, or at least that's what it feels like A wound lined with gravel is one that cannot heal right The seal's right in front of you, now what're you gonna do Is the boulder giving chase or does it simply wanna run with you She sells salt patches by the burn ward Unaware of what she's done, or maybe just bored Rocks in the knees from crawling across floors Dust in the eyes and mud in all pores Less on a journey, more dragged to distant shores Started with an itch and became persistent sores Digging for ores but all that came up was clay Which was useful when it came to marking the days Spent all my time wasting away To find my yesteryear is what you're facing today Reach for the peak in each endeavor you choose If you don't climb you'll die, and that's when you'll lose Pebbles rain from the sky...
7.	Morrison's Run 03:11	lyrics
Am I truly myself, or a collection of lines Did I start out as a sketch til I was gradually defined Time will tell nothing to no one Only eyes that look for answers could possibly hold some Every time I die I'm brought back slightly lessened And every time I wonder if this should hold a lesson We are all just products of understanding The spot on which we're standing without being too demanding I know where I am, but where will I go The roles are reversed as vultures circle below The flow of the game is said to be controlled By the faces that we make and the cards that we hold If there is a god, he probably looks like Tex Avery Creating living beings just to make each other angry There's an audience, somewhere, out there, that's laughing While mortal men spend lifetimes slaving for their passions (Hook) First comes the pencils, then comes the pens It's been drawn once then we go over it again Next comes the letters, then the colors, then we print The visuals are almost as important as the script We walk the lines of possible, if not we climb the obstacles Within the pages of our books, we do the impossible We do the impossible, within the pages of our books Be I hero or villain, or something inbetween What's the point of all these labels, can you tell me what they mean Nothing's what it seems and that's the way it has to be Naturally I look around and all I see is apathy In actuality the concept of choice is just a fallacy Since we all adhere to the rules of the galaxy Like gravity, and self destructive vanity If reality is a killing floor then I guess that makes it casualties We casually sleepwalk through life Missing both moments of elation and those of strife Content to play the roles that the author writes Past is prologue, and future is bright, lets make it tonight I might have it in me to be the hero, potentially But I won't know if I don't try it eventually Essentially we wanna be central to the narrative It's all relative or at least compartive (Hook) First comes the pencils, then comes the pens It's been drawn once then we go over it again Next comes the letters, then the colors, then we print The visuals are almost as important as the script We walk the lines of possible, if not we climb the obstacles Within the pages of our books, we do the impossible We do the impossible, we do the impossible And destiny is just a fancy word for entropy Itself is just a way to say we all will die eventually History has proven that its mostly still unwritten And the truths we should pursue are the ones that are forbidden Search the Earth for meaning and you'll only come back screaming Asking the diamond why its gleaming and discover that you're dreaming Man's only purpose is to walk this world's surface Complaining til the day he dies that nothing's ever perfect I wish it were more simple, but simply put its not And from the day we're drawn, the ink begins to rot The color starts to fade as we move towards the grave And we're promised a reprinting if we all sit and behave Four colors, four walls, four limbs, and four dimensions The path to Hell is well and good, now act on those intentions We walk the lines of possible, if not we climb the obstacles Within the pages of our books we do the impossible (Hook) First comes the pencils, then comes the pens It's been drawn once then we go over it again Next comes the letters, then the colors, then we print The visuals are almost as important as the script We walk the lines of possible, if not we climb the obstacles Within the pages of our books, we do the impossible We do the impossible We do the impossible We do the impossible We do the impossible
8.	UHD 01:44	lyrics
Manufactured lives with happy endings Replenished every week, pay no mind to what we're spending Cliches in dialogue, we say we try a lot Ask too many questions, suddenly you're dying off Try to find a god with lower resolution Poison in the veins, flood the brains that's the solution Radio waves can indeed add to polution The cult of personality meets personal confusion (Hook) I wanna live like the people inside my tv Just like them, just like them, just like them Ignorant to the size and the width of my screen 1080, 60 frames per second I just stand on the mark as I move through my scenes Freeze frame, bet you're wondering how I got here Waiting for the writer to tell my dreams Start the journey, the ending will be clear And dreams - what are they worth Either show them to the audience or lay them in the dirt Let's promote the message that growth fosters hurt or does hurt foster growth, I dunno, its a work of art? Maybe But in that case, the artist was lazy Is this life? It's so hazy Who knew the passing of days could be so amazing (Hook) I wanna live like the people inside my tv Just like them, just like them, just like them Ignorant to the size and the width of my screen 1080, 60 frames per second I just stand on the mark as I move through my scenes Freeze frame, bet you're wondering how I got here Waiting for the writer to tell my dreams Start the journey, the ending will be clear
9.	Gems 02:00	lyrics
(Danny G) I got all the stones in check Use 'em as a currency after the world's death Daryl opposed the exit of his best friend Beth Made him real sad, but its probly for the best Now I don't fear the dead And of course none the rest You walk in even numbers and skippin' in odd time Do what I gotta do to not regret life One then two, that's me then you I can tell lies and they'd all come true It's my universe nothing you can do Try to count the hits and you're looking like a fool now Why would you do that Ain't go to prove that Squad get ya through that Just follow the kid, clap (Hook) One born every minute Never touch the limit Probably systemic Who me, be a cynic Awfully uplifted Offered peace and ripped it Slid across the finish One dead every minute (Skeptik) Ya'll know me, self loathing Low key cremated, cold heat Only holes are holy, none could hold me Arm's length, arm's exploding No one could know me I'm so deep, see what stone sees Home is homely, never lonely Bored and abhorrent mostly Question what we're hosting Engrossed with only gross things Caterpillars blowing smoke rings Arguing from the low seat Tell me where to go now I don't wanna zone out Cursed, born to a low house This is how it goes now (Hook) One born every minute Never touch the limit Probably systemic Who me, be a cynic Awfully uplifted Offered peace and ripped it Slid across the finish One dead every minute
10.	Marble 02:20	lyrics
(Hook) Were you there, all along in the marble Were you there, all along in the marble Were you there, all along in the marble And once cut loose, was it freeing or harmful Plaster into mold in the shape of the caster Whoever authored this was one ugly bastard Life can be defined by what it is we are after To be art itself would take a disaster Longing for a past that wasn't there to begin The excess is shed, now one with the wind Are you scared of cutting skin, exposing within I seek to know what pose I'll be frozen in Are these hands mine, maybe tools of someone else's Is it selfish to think this way, I guess its helpless I'll tear myself apart if that's really what it takes Cut my hands repeatedly as I hammer them for days (Hook) Were you there, all along in the marble Were you there, all along in the marble Were you there, all along in the marble And once cut loose, was it freeing or harmful Piece by piece I'mma see what's underneath It already exists, at least that's my belief Gritting my teeth as I inhale dust Soaked with sweat over a half finished bus I trust that what I touch must be uncorrupt Much of love is lust, it just crusts and rusts Sudden like a gust, it might fuck you up Or construct disgust right inside your guys And that's exactly what I'm aiming for Moments like this are exactly what the pain is for Hitting that rock until it isn't what it ain't no more A tribute to the art itself or maybe just to ancient lore Don't believe in gods, never had a muse All I've ever had were hands to abuse I wish I could say I'm seeking some greater truth But I don't even know what I do (Hook) Were you there, all along in the marble Were you there, all along in the marble Were you there, all along in the marble And once cut loose, was it freeing or harmful
11.	With You 03:10	lyrics
I don't know what lives in your head You don't know what lives in mine I bet we could get acquainted Why don't you give me some time We recited words as we write them Unknown what will be inscribed Good for what they are besides when Left for dead or read by blind There must be a way through I can't see but I believe you I've been hurt and you've been hurt The two of us have tasted dirt To carry on has taken work Which is how we know what pain is worth Scars on back and coals on flame No predetermined souls to blame Through effort came to know your name Through chaos aim's fruition came (Hook 1) Whenever I look at you I see what lies beyond those eyes And whenever I look at you all I can see is my whole life Whenever I look at you I see what lies beyond those eyes And whenever I look at you all I can see is my whole life (Hook 2) It's true I don't know what this love can lead to But I have to go, to know, with you It's true I don't know what this love can lead to But I have to go, to know, with you My mind wanders though as I ponder such It affects me more than the sonder does What would it take for me to squander love Can it hurt me more than the wanderlust I'm A C B H 2 U Amazed by things that you do Displayed those feelings to you Breath held, I'll hear your true views (Hook 2) It's true I don't know what this love can lead to But I have to go, to know, with you It's true I don't know what this love can lead to But I have to go, to know, with you (Hook 1) Whenever I look at you I see what lies beyond those eyes And whenever I look at you all I can see is my whole life Whenever I look at you I see what lies beyond those eyes And whenever I look at you all I can see is my whole life
12.	The Aleph 03:02	lyrics
I don't know, that's the thesis statement Generally used as speech abatement But this time its meaningful in its placement Knowledge is meaningless its time we face it If I learn from you and you learn from me How circular would that reasoning be But logic be damned that's the way that it works Handed everything we know by those who came first Or at least before, they'd try to teach us more But it's difficult to do from beneath the floor Ignorance can be impossible to clean from the pores though Accurate information is even moreso What is a man just a shell and some secrets Lesson plan be damned if he doesn't think he needs this Admission of ignorance is just a sign of weakness If I dunno it doesn't matter, fuck off with that geek shit (Hook) We learn to read and write To prove that we are right Struggling against the dark In what we know is a needless fight I find freedom is ill defined No one's really free on a long enough timeline I die and you die before said line ends Only forsake existence when I think of my friends Turning to ash, crumbling to dust The present was the future but the past is what it was And that's where it stays, that's where they lay Every single day that was before today Am I passing the grade or simply passing the time Which one is wrong, which one is fine Which pieces of me should I leave behind On this path to the top of the mountain I climb No fate, no god, and no masters No snakes offering fruit, no walls, and no plaster Some of these things are not like the rest And there's no reward for passing the test (Bridge) We learn to read and write To prove that we are right Struggling against the dark In what we know is a needless fight You say you've seen the light Some say you're going blind Wish I could say you're doing alright But history hasn't been so kind (Hook) We learn to read and write To prove that we are right Struggling against the dark In what we know is a needless fight
13.	The Woods Pt. 1 02:28	lyrics
I stay up too late, I see the frost I am lost in the forest of my brain I chop and burn the wood I find But the canopy floats and blocks the sun I'm blind I run but happily feel numb The sounds I hear they guide me through the trees But the humans' voices warn me of the freeze The screams come in threes So I run, their hands grab me And their teeth eat away at my feet Their eyes see me for what I've truly become I leap into a nearby lake I hear the water running from its past The liquid returns my vision, I swim forward Don't look back I'm free, I've left the prison, no more running Now that I can see, I realize there is nothing
14.	Dark Space 05:12	lyrics
With chemicals as impetus, we're limitless in our exploration Wondering how to advance as lifeforms past the place we call our station With that in mind, we set our hearts on distant stars Getting there is the longest part, but luckily dreaming isn't hard What lies on the other side, we've never tried The day we open our eyes is the day forever dies Events on the horizon, vents to take our sighs in Simulated noise to still the mania of silence If the planets are islands, and the sky is an ocean We're a school of fish lost in the throes of our emotion Searching for a second home, a shelter from devotion Do you recall, the second law of motion Let me remind you of the third and the way that its worded Equal and opposite means everything's imperfect Wish I knew more and had room to talk But at this point I'm merely breeding stock (Hook 1) Gotta make it last, this trek towards the light If we forget about the past, this could end over night So with memory intact, we continue our plight Eyes strain against glass as we slip out of sight (Hook 2) Why if, we should all be saying when And whenever we fail we should all just say again Keep screaming out I can hardly hear your voice In the deepest of space with no sight or any noise I reach out even harder when I know that it's useless The human condition is a blessing and a nuisance Keep looking, though you can't see a thing Hear in dark space where depravity is king And meanwhile, what of those we left behind We are simply men because the thing we did was not so kind To be fair, there was no belief there We proposed a leap forth, the were all like leap where I think back to all of those that didn't make it When the sun goes, no one is considered sacred Maybe I should've stayed home and waited But if I did who'd be here now to feel negated More regulated than the air that we breath The foods we receive and the artificial trees All thistles sting altricial things A thousand years pass and none will know what this drivel means Infinite strings yet we have to inhabit this one Wings melt and we can't be that mad its good fun We could sing of the things that old gravity's done But I won't hand him that when he's already won (Hook 1) Gotta make it last, this trek towards the light If we forget about the past, this could end over night So with memory intact, we continue our plight Eyes strain against glass as we slip out of sight (Hook 2) Why if, we should all be saying when And whenever we fail we should all just say again Keep screaming out I can hardly hear your voice In the deepest of space with no sight or any noise I reach out even harder when I know that it's useless The human condition is a blessing and a nuisance Keep looking, though you can't see a thing Hear in dark space where depravity is king For act three, a tragedy why not As if impressed with our own negligence we gallantly trot Made immortal by our destiny, we actually thought We'd be the first of our kind to see what vanity wrought But we're not special, ask the rock that claimed our vessel Said rock acted as a mortar and the planet as a pestle If I die here, then I die here No stars in my eyes, no sound in my ears So close to the sun, I know why we fly near Balls of flame, its all the same, we must defy fear Or be defined by the things that we disdain Which would explain the more than passing interest in pain The inference today is what difference does it make Promised paradise but this is disparate, I'd say One whisper to the fates could set all of this straight But then I remember that that shit is all fake (Hook 2) Why if, we should all be saying when And whenever we fail we should all just say again Keep screaming out I can hardly hear your voice In the deepest of space with no sight or any noise I reach out even harder when I know that it's useless The human condition is a blessing and a nuisance Keep looking, though you can't see a thing Hear in dark space where depravity is king

about

The culmination of three years of work, Macroforms is an effort to examine and explain the space in which we exist.

Based in part on ideas present in the works of William Gibson, Macroforms is an examination of man’s place (or lack thereof) in the universe. In a digital space, what meaning does physicality have? When man has depleted the Earth entirely, will we have anywhere to ruin next in its place? Where do the divisions lie between, wants, needs, and desires? As unanswerable as it may be, it sure is fun to think about isn’t it?
