reproducing reality from Fungal Paradise by unluca★★★

can't quit for no reason
it's not pretty
a bad narrative

try to fill the space between nights
going through motions from stories of lives
romanticize evening snow
and military recruitment videos
some things never change
reproducing reality

one-hundred famous views
impossible pictures to live up to
romanticize cheap DVDs
and alcoholic slot-machine scenes
something better change
reproducing reality

some kind of purpose, some sense to it all
a meaningful pattern in the dirt on the wall
an antagonist to fall in love with
and overcome climatic hardship
nothing's ever changed
reproducing reality

what are the miracles that make clocks tick?
'cause every new breath is a surprise when it hits
romanticize the nihilist's banner
the comfort of knowing nothing matters

but you can't quit for no reason
(useful fictions say history is fixed)
it's not pretty, the audience won't buy it
(we're living in the Matrix or a Petri dish)
remember a hundred famous views?
(but I remember those famous views)
beauty you'll never live up to
(the beauty you'll never live up to)

know your purpose, know your place
unreadable footnote on a discarded page
romanticize farewell letters
the comfort of knowing it never gets better

it's easy to believe
but mostly just convenient
