Internet of things What a thing, man I’ll make an NFT Be a rich man Might be the end of days In my lifespan Yeah should I procreate Or just use my hand? Does anybody know a thing Does anybody really matter Is anybody listening probably not not not not Don’t think I’m not thinking ‘bout it Don’t think I’m not thinking ‘bout it Don’t think I’m not thinking ‘bout it Don’t think I’m not thinking ‘bout it Is Schrödinger alive Well yes and no A koan in disguise A particle And my identity I have on loan But if time don’t exist Then we’re all simultaneously Eternal Does anybody know a thing Does anybody really matter Is anybody listening probably not not not not Don’t think I’m not thinking ‘bout it Don’t think I’m not thinking ‘bout it Don’t think I’m not thinking ‘bout it Don’t think I’m not thinking ‘bout it

I got a text saying Got a negative balance I mean of course That’s pretty obvious Straw hat I’m strutting around like Luffy by the ocean No need for money Cuz all I ever do is wander wander wander On the boardwalk Tryna have fun Ooo Feel my hair getting bleached by the sun Yeah See the tide rolling into the moon Ooo On the boardwalk Nothing to do Do do do Do do do do do do do do I’m on the boardwalk Nothing to do Do do do Do do do do do do do do I got a friend saying He made his first million I mean of course He’s pretty selfish Empty pockets Never stopped us from feeling like this guy Checking out his Allocations across diversification Good depression medications Why did no one else come to the beach? On the boardwalk Tryna have fun Ooo Feel my hair getting bleached by the sun Yeah See the tide rolling into the moon Ooo On the boardwalk Nothing to do Do do do Do do do do do do do do I’m on the boardwalk Nothing to do Do do do Do do do do do do do do On the boardwalk Nothing to do Do do do Do do do do do do do do I’m on the boardwalk

Keep Calm Atomic Bomb 03:09
lyrics
buy track
What is your weight to carry What’s your burden to bear Neither here nor there No use talking bout past But you benefit from it No blame looking from the summit Did they force your hand? Keep calm Atomic bomb Sword of Damocles Above my nursery Keep calm Vietnam My president He never really cared about you Keep calm Atomic bomb Keep calm Atomic bomb Yeah I hear the fog of war Is a hard thing to imagine One more body for the fire Like a little wasp grasping Through logic Hide madness With numbers Reimagine There wasn’t really any other way Keep calm Atomic bomb Sword of Damocles Above my nursery Keep calm Vietnam My president He never really cared about you Keep calm Atomic bomb Keep calm Atomic bomb

about

A koan is and isn't a paradox. With and without power.

I hope you enjoy my new EP, KŌAN A.

For best results, listen in headphones. I'm doing lots of spatial audio/dolby atmos/binaural stuff in here. A 360 swirl of sound. See if you can find the moments that appear above, behind or around your head.

Track listing:

1. Think About It
2. Let’s Move to the Top of a Mountain
3. Boardwalk
4. SHIAWASE NO IMI
5. Information
6. Keep Calm Atomic Bomb

SHIAWASE NO IMI is my first song I ever wrote in Japanese. Japan has been an important part of this record, from the name to the aesthetic to the people that inspired these songs and vibes (via Zoom calls).

Thank you to everyone for your messages. I really love hearing from you. Feel free to drop me a line publicly here in the comments or privately on any social media sites. Find them all on my website — www.ScoobertDoobert.Pizza

Thanks for listening, and I'm excited to share KŌAN B (and C and D) very very soon.

-Scoob
