Scapegoat

Pick the time zone you'd rather live in
Then put your best memories on loop
Speak a language so others listen
Scale your life with the cropping tool

Change the weather with a tear or a punch
Move into autopilot in turbulence
Philosophising how we're wired just right
A ticking time bomb with the arteries closed off

Create a Frankenstein to wine, to dine and mate
Pull the plug on the next Vanity Fair
Carry shades to watch the next mushroom explode
The mortal reeks of garbage, then smells of smoke

 The naive atheist is out to meet his doom
Stifled by Utopia, Sickened by the gloom
Hatch a demon child and pass him as the Pope
Mister Reckoning sings a song of cheery hope.
