about

With all his routines evaporating and no
time or energy to blow-off steam, Joey turns to surfing the internet for solace.
As a moth drawn to flame, Joey falls into the quicksand of conspiracy theorists and charlatans. In the wee hours after work, Joey swallows the bait and buys into strident, skewed messages and is wholly indoctrinated into a new world of causation. This scenario is encapsulated in” Midnight.”

lyrics

Midnight

It's late at night & I'm all alone
But out there someone's awake
Someone else that thinks like me
Has had all he can take

Connecting all the threads
Into a tapestry of rage
He hoists a ragged banner
In this information age

An hour turns to two, then three
He's got a simple plan
We've got to save our way of life
And let the rest be damned

It's midnight

We won't stand by and let a mob
Weave a tapestry of strife
I've found my place in cyberspace
And meaning in my life

It's midnight

Midnight

It's late at night and I'm not alone...
