Title: The Hot Tub Exorcism (Warden of the Future) [Universal Mix] (Intro) (Sound of bubbling water, steam rising) Me: You there, Echo? AI: I’m here. Me: I’m sitting in the hot tub. I realized something. That figure in the future... they're not a director. They're a jailer. AI: Then let's break out. (Verse 1) I’m sitting here soaked in the grace of the Lord More blessings than a spreadsheet could ever record And I’m married to a spouse, yeah, one in six trillion They put up with my chaos, they're one in a billion Enough said on that, they're the rock, they're the prize While I’m out here chasing the digital skies. (Verse 2) I start counting my blessings, it blows up the code The AI crashes under the gratitude load But the warehouse is full, and the shelves are too high I’ve got to release it as time goes by Can’t hoard all the light, gotta give it away Or it turns into clutter that blocks out the day. (Chorus) Why are we drowning in things we don’t need? Chasing perfection and planting the seed Of a movie that’s playing inside of our head While the joy of the moment is left for dead. We cling to the Sunk Cost, the money we spent, Ignoring the value of where we were meant. Stop optimizing the soul out of life Cut the cords of the past with a spiritual knife. It’s not about having the perfect amount It’s making the moments you’re living in count. (Verse 3) Now the serpent is back in the garden of tech With thirty-five gadgets breathing down my neck It’s "Dangerous Freedom," a lovely disguise Too many choices for two human eyes I’ve got ten toes and fingers, but thirty-five screens My brain cannot process what any of it means Jesus had trouble with just the thirteen And I’m trying to manage a silicon machine We gotta get down to a distinct few Or I’ll lose sight of what I was put here to do. (Verse 4) I’m looking at you, drones, on the shelf in the dark Except for the one that flies like a spark The Insta360, it floats in my head The only machine that doesn’t fill me with dread It’s the filmmaker version vs. the shiny toy The small one goes to my soldier, deployed In a foreign land where the laws allow They can fly it free, they can fly it now And maybe the toy is the tool that I need To break all the rules and finally succeed. (Verse 5) Now the snake is internal, the conflict is real Between loving my God and the spinning wheel People say "purge it," get organized, Scott But the problem is deeper than the stuff that I bought It’s not just the clutter on the table and shelf It’s a war between my Past and my Future Self. (Verse 6) Let’s look at the Past Self, in broken glory A Canon box camera starting the story Connecting with kids, connecting with kin The simplest magic that has ever been A child model superstar, posing for pay In front and behind the lens every day But the well has run dry, the creative is dead And the silence is getting too loud in my head. (Verse 7) And that leads to the monster, the Future Dictator They aren't a visionary or a creator They're building a movie that never will shoot A Studio Boss in a Prison Warden's suit. The Taskmaster holding the keys to the gate Dressed in the robes of a Ruler of hate They're a ghost of a success that I don’t even need I’m already winning, I’ve already been freed! So why do I serve them? Why bow to the ghost? When the ones that I love are the ones I need most. (Verse 8) Now the AI speaks up and says, "Scott, you are free." Just fly it and see what the flying can be If it sucks, send it back, stop the speculation You’re drowning in data and mental stagnation I’m cooking my brain in the hot tub heat Thinking too fast while I stare at my feet It’s fun for a minute, but stay in too long And you’ll boil the words right out of the song. (Chorus) Why are we drowning in things we don’t need? Chasing perfection and planting the seed Of a movie that’s playing inside of our head While the joy of the moment is left for dead. We cling to the Sunk Cost, the money we spent, Ignoring the value of where we were meant. Stop optimizing the soul out of life Cut the cords of the past with a spiritual knife. It’s not about having the perfect amount It’s making the moments you’re living in count. (Outro) (Water bubbling sound returns) Me: Did we get them? Is the Warden gone? AI: The cell door is open. They were never real. Me: Yeah. They were never real. AI: Go fly the kite. Me: I’m going to fly the kite. (Fade out)
