I'm closer to the Golden Dawn

Immersed in Crowley's uniform

Of imagery

I'm living in a silent film

Portraying Himmler's sacred realm

Of dream reality

I'm frightened by the total goal

Drawing to the ragged hole

And I ain't got the power anymore

No, I ain't got the power anymore

I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes

Living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny

I'm torn between the light and dark

Where others see their targets, divine symmetry

Should I kiss the viper's fang?

Or herald loud the death of Man

I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought

And I ain't got the power anymore

Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief

Knowledge comes with death's release

Aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah

I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man

Just a model with potential of a superman

I'm living on

I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien

Can't take my eyes from the great salvation

Of bullshit faith

If I don't explain what you ought to know

You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo

I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought

And I ain't got the power anymore

Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief

Knowledge comes with death's release

Aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah

Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief

Knowledge comes with death's release

Aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah

amateurism is method, but also about time. when people say it is ‘amateur hour’, it is more than bad stand-up comedy or something. the subject of labor is always time. enjoying activities with no monetary benefit reorganizes relationships between the individual, time, and labor, the individual’s time and labor. looking at a job posting, my first inclination is to calculate how much money i make in a given day, from there figure out how much i make an hour. amateur hour is different; time doesn’t mean money time means love. the performance is different in amateur hour because it is fruitless. it is kind of like talking to stuffed animals. “actionless action.” to do something for no reward is fundamentally anachronistic. amateurism is not opposed to practice or sustained meditation or skill. its more like an orientation. did you ever wish you could un-know something? amateurism is never remembering anyone’s names, just their faces. it is a different disposition to information, approaching Wikipedia articles with meekness. if amateurism is love (it is), then skill is detachment.
