Act One (feat. Mykki Blanco) [Original Version]

Act one

I shared a joint outside

With a group of local scientists

Thanks, man

They said they worried that the planet

Was headed for ecological ruin

And yet the collective response

Or lack thereof, was far more concerning

The task here is to cultivate critical thinking

And yet dismantle the harmful systems

That have created this dystopic mise en scène

We're talking about a very purposeful return to a matriarchal framework

In which regeneration is prized above and far beyond extraction

I had a threesome last night with these two beautiful humans

I had met at the climate protest

Both of them had worked for a non-profit

That aimed to help get legal support for Indigenous communities in land disputes

The sex was amazing

I had forgotten how necessary threesome is, every once in a while

We slept in, all three of us, late into the afternoon, nuzzled in bed

When we awoke, we decided to take some acid I had left over from New Year's Eve

There was a rave that night

Our minds were filled with collective questions about ethics and Mother Earth

But our bodies

Our bodies, they felt so right

A pulsing strobe hit our eyes

I felt the thumping of the speaker, I

I could, I could feel it in my, in my hands, in my

In my throat, I could, the smoke, I could barely breathe

The, the thumping, the bumping, the pulsing, and

There was a sound, I can remember

I heard it so faintly, but then it came over me, and

And the sound of a song that went something like

I dreamt to the beat, to the beat, to the beat, to the beat

To the beat, to the beat, to the

I dreamt to the beat, to the beat, to the beat, to the beat

I dreamt to the beat, to the beat, to the beat, to the beat

To the beat, to the beat, to the

I dreamt

I lift my hand to God

I kissed the pagan sunshine

Dreamt to the beat, to the beat, to the beat, to the beat

To the beat, to the beat, to the

I dreamt to the beat, to the beat, to the beat, to the beat

I dreamt to the beat, to the beat, to the beat, to the beat

To the beat, to the beat, to the

I dreamt

I lift my hand to God

I kissed the pagan sunshine

I felt the thumping of the speaker, I, I could

I could feel it in my, in my hands, in my

In my throat, I could, the smoke, I could barely breathe

The thumping, the bumping, the pulsing, and then

I dreamt to the beat, to the beat, to the beat, to the beat

To the beat, to the beat, to the

I dreamt to the beat, to the beat, to the beat, to the beat

I dreamt to the beat, to the beat, to the beat, to the beat

To the beat, to the beat, to the

I dreamt

I dreamt to the beat, to the beat, to the beat, to the beat

To the beat, to the beat, to the

I dreamt

I lift my hand to God

I kissed the pagan sunshine

I dreamt

I lift my hand to God

I kissed the pagan sunshine

I felt the thumping of the speaker, I

I could, I could feel it in my, in my hands, in my

In my throat, I could, the smoke, I could barely breathe

The, the thumping, the bumping, the pulsing, and

There was a sound, I can remember

I heard it so faintly, but then it came over me, and

And it sounded something that, it sounded something like
