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
