Shrink Bigger by croc E moses

I’m a joybot
Constantly on the hunt for some emergency happiness
I’m stuck in this global state of pus
Damned up damage, bubble of denial
Third world debt in the throes of thrombosis
I’m struggling to love humans when they need it most
A child once laughed and said to me “just shrink bigger”
Is my destination love’s origin?

Meanwhile i find myself blindsided
Sideswiped by winds of change at breakneck speed
It’s a gale force guillotine wind cutting to the chase
It’s got my mind on the run
Only to find myself held up by an army of question marks
Which Way to What?

I’m a joybot
Can you see i am trapped in escapism
I’m caught in my own straight jacket skin
The invisible squeeze is upon us now
The great clarification is upon us now
It’s turbulence turbulence turbulence
Reality is taking us for a ride

It’s hard to believe your ship’s coming in when you feel you’re sinking
Sometimes my only freedom is complete surrender
To a bigger picture
My destination is love’s origin

I’m not here here to blame you even entertain you
Lead you down the garden path of more smug obliviousness
No no no, the funny money party’s over
We’ve inherited a nuclear hangover
I’m here to get clear about our schizophrenia
I’m here to excavate ancient instincts
Shrink back to big, shrink bigger
To a bigger picture
Our destination is love’s origin

It’s hard to believe your ship’s coming in when you feel you’re sinking
Sometimes our only freedom is complete surrender
To a bigger picture
