A Better Life
Vision starts to blur
We cannot stop the spread
We’re lead astray
Digging deeper and deeper
Encoded to obey
All these signals in my head
Erased and replaced from from the inside
I’m holding tight
Onto anything that I can find
But it keeps falling
Like dust through my fingers
The nihilistic voice residing inside my head
I can’t stop the dark from crawling over my heart
Tendrils extend through the masses
Watching us all intertwine
voiding our own imperfections
Reflections of our own denial
Contort to fit and contradict
We’re force fed lies by hypocrites
Vindictive stance against the woken
Obstructing every both you’ve chosen
Hardwired to seek your own extinction
Stand up
Hardwired to seek your own extinction
Indoctrinated by the sirens
Leaving all hope at the door
The empty shell remains compliant
Relinquishing all our control Infatuated by the violence
Forgetting all that we stood for
Are we conditioned to despise a better life
Point your finger from your pedestal
Absolve your sins with hypotheticals
Claim to understand, but you’re not credible
Calculated, automated and methodical
Forget yourself- it seems so fucking optimal
You can’t conceive of all the things you do not know
Countless drones connected to the hive mind
Incorporation of the weak willed and aimless
No matter how hard you try, you’ll never reach the top
Trapped inside a lie, you feed upon decay and rot
Trapped inside a hive mind
So content to live our lives bowing down to corrupted light
Indoctrinated by the sirens
Leaving all hope at the door
The empty shell remains compliant
Relinquishing all our control Infatuated by the violence
Forgetting all that we stood for
Are we conditioned to despise a better life
Tendrils extend through the masses
Watching us all intertwine
Avoiding our own imperfections
Reflections of our own denial
