lyrics

call me ishmael
in a world where
the white whale of our whole society
is pleasure seeks gain all fame and notoriety
where the image precedes the essence
where polish and gloss replace the face of your predecessors
where you wish to speak
but stuck behind the concrete blocks of your next tweet
baffled, flummoxed, loner, smokin' through the words he
so sane he'll testify in a straight jacket with a birds beak
cant hit delete in a culture that never sleeps
like the space between the days of the age of world peace
are you asking me if the soul ever sleeps?
chance is then you're a slave that identifies as flesh meat
check mate dead meet, tempt fate, deadly,
next day text me and we'll rectify the next beat
"But be this as it may, certain it is, that with the mad secret of his unabated rage bolted up and keyed in him, Ahab had purposely sailed upon the present voyage with the one, only, and all engrossing object of hunting the white whale."- Moby Dick
