Through Method And Rigor

The truth is a mountain and we’re small as an insect
Knowledge is a process, we take it step by step (by step, by step)
Science is a spire we’ll erect to pass the heavens
We build atop the bricks of those that came before us
Wisdom is the sunlight which clears away the fog
A clarity of vision which guides us to the future OR with clarity of vision we look to the horizon
Through method and rigor we seek all the answers
Through curious vigor we'll map out the stars and heal all our cancers
We learn to abandon all of our assumptions
Doing away with fallacious logic
To see the world, we must scour the tint from our sight
The truth is a desert, and we’re but a hopeless seed
Praise the folk of science, who lift us like the wind
And carry us upon them to richer, greener climes
Through method and rigor we seek all the answers
Through curious vigor we'll map out the stars and heal all our cancers
Through method and rigor we seek all the answers
Maybe in a hundred years or maybe just a day
Our determination drives us forth to pave a better way for humankind

Hyphal threads
Twist and turn
Away from view
Weaving life
Beneath the ground
Another realm
Eukaryotes
Lesser known
Misunderstood
Mycellium
A foundation
For life as we know
Praise be to the beings who dispose of all the dead
Who feed us with their flesh and grant us visions in our head
I am but a simple mammal, show me now the way
To break down all these polymers and hydrocarbon chains
Forward, we must form a fungal symbiosis
Symbiosis
Tech beneath the earth
Cities in the dirt
Feeding all the trees
Fighters of disease
Praise be to the beings who dispose of all the dead
Who feed us with their flesh and grant us visions in our head
I am but a simple mammal, show me now the way
To break down all these polymers and hydrocarbon chains
Forward, we must form a fungal symbiosis
Move forward, we must form a fungal symbiosis
Symbiosis

Look past our own
Planets of home
To shifting light
That gives us hope
Exoplanets
Call us further out
What we could find
Through Kepler’s eyes
A perfect world
Where we can survive
We can’t even travel very far
Yet we still gaze longingly at lands from other stars
Telescopes and satellites
Gathering the ancient light
Looking at the past to find our future
Observing what was and will be
Galactic timescales stretch before our limited sight
We stand in awe of it’s might
All our curiosity may be the saving grace of humanity
It’s all a far-away pipe dream! We can’t even travel very far
Yet we still gaze longingly at lands from other distant stars
We can’t even travel very far
We can’t even travel very far
Exoplanets
Call us further out
Look past our own
Planets of home

False Alternatives
05:13

Just because its older doesn’t make it more right
Your ancient book of medicine does not count as insight
We’ve been building something better for a century or more
And we’re living so much longer than ever before
Take your bullshit with you out the door!
Diluting it cannot make it stronger, can’t make it last longer
You’re nothing but a snake oil monger
All of this time trying to save all these lives
And you feed on the fools who can’t understand why
Your crystals do nothing to the cancers inside
Your extracts and reiki are nothing but lies
Vaccines eradicate so much disease
But you’d rather destroy herd immunities
None of this works
But you’re filling your coin purse
Breeding distrust
Of the science that cures us
Would you burn it all down
All the answers we’ve found?
With your needles in meridian lines
Giving false hope to the sick and the dying
Holding up your alternative guise
To mask you’re a vulture that feeds on demise
True medicine is all that we want
True medicine is all that we need
Researched and proven and snake-oil free
True medicine is all that we need
Fight science illiteracy
Fight science antipathy
They’ve muddied the waters so no one can see
Fight science illiteracy
Epidemic memory fades
Pushing death back every decade
Fighting for sense in a torrent of woo
Championing cures that are proven and true
Our only hope now to ward off disease
