Digital Coal Mine - Time

This is untitled

Like an unwritten book thrown away in the trash

Like that carton of cigarettes that you tried to ash

Like your arm’s harmed ligaments that you torture and gash

Like them shots that you think blackout the past

Just like that past that won’t ever go away

We’re waiting for the future so we ignore today

No regrets, no frets, no step back, no rewind

I seem to be on the corner of Heart Attack and Vine

Waiting for Tom but he’s in Ruby’s arms sublime

But nothings in vein in the heart of space time

If I’m a eat the fruit, then I’m a eat the rind

Cause procrastination only leads to wine

Are we all scabs in this electric coal mine?

They wanna Ludlow the artists in this coal mine

Fiber optic Rockefellers own this gold mine

They say don’t sell your soul, well too late I sold mine

I lost it in a terms of agreement online

Dead digital canaries, white lung but feel fine

Creativities a fog in the night, like dew taking flight

I’m in a Mosquito Pond with my life jacket on

Funny thing is this jackets this song

Tectonic plates every thoughts an earthquake

Every thought of you is worth the shake

Someone owns you from your birth to your wake

Now the Baldwin-Felts and Pinkertons are all in your phone

Your screen’s glass is quicksand your stuck and alone

It used to be Jay Gould, Carnegie and Vanderbilt

They stole Mexico for pesos and put their land for sale

Now we got facebook, amazon, apple, and walmart

Things don’t change the world’s still ran by small hearts

They took the kids out of these caverns that died in these mineshafts

Now they’re all mining pixels and working for minecraft

But kids are still mining, dying with cold hands

So we can all instagram, with phones full of coltan

Coffins at the company store it’s a death camp

I found my corpse with the light of my head lamp

Spotify script, what type of hell is this?

Trolls and jealous kids my reflection is where the villain is

Holler fills for dollar bills my blue collar’s frilled

They guillotined Appalachia to a squalor field

The Greek equivalent of lucifer is tantalum

Ironic like clean coal, and other antonyms

From an asphyxiated ghost town I see a phantom run

Invisible heart, invisible hand with a hand gun

We’re hardly counting the disenchanted lungs

From the mines of Harlan county to Sanlidong

Death’s playing the mandolin

Head of a CEO on my mantle is one

And I won’t stop rambling till we ram into the sun

Ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down

Mother Jones is raising hell in a calico gown

They’re driving the death special with lucifer’s keys

They shot Tikas in the back by some juniper trees

Bullets like anchors he slept in the sage grass

Apartments like ant farms now we’re caged rats

Grand Canyon a pothole compared to the wage gap

I wrote strike with the fog of my breath on the plate glass

Night penetrated the window, truth is a widow

I see journalists with shackles, swimming to gitmo

I see breaker boys with phones, and augers in their hearts

Planned obsolescence, watch me fall apart

Bezos wants the moon where there’s no labor laws

No workman’s comp, just an airlock to lay em off

I know you think all this mine talk sounds deep

But really I’m just trying to kill the mine owner in me
