Biomimicry (but first, turn off the screens because they hypnotize your brain waves)

*intro spoken by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now*

I shut myself down

I'm as dark as a blackout

These eyes are just TV's running on

A generating battery

They cover up the lies

They cover up the truth

That a solar flare struck the power grid

And turned out the lights

Mechanical arm

Mechanical heart

Run all by computer

You can't tell it apart

Don't wait 'til it starts

And find yourself a better way out

I mimic the movements

The graphics are flawless and sterilized

I severed all the wires

And scaled down the size

'Til it conveniently fits in the palm of your hand

I'm. . .

Mechanical arm

Mechanical heart

Run all by computer

You can't tell it apart

Don't wait 'til it starts

And find yourself a better way out . . .

I'm runnin on batteries

A wireless machine

At the edge of its reception

Or a fire still holding its heat

In the embers of my stomach

A body full mulch

Holding in the rain of last month

To feed my garden

My energy source is all around

Hair a windmill

Mouth waterwheet

A self-contained community

A village
