lyrics

Sick of living in complacency
I can feel my stomach twisting and churning
Force-fed a bullshit reality
Regurgitating fallacies
Sick of living with unhappiness
I can feel the pressure to be like everyone
Forced into a bullshit way of thinking
Prolonging our self-made suffering

Numbing myself to the pain
I can't seem to eat, my tendencies are gripping my arteries
I can't keep my sanity, driven insane
Novocain slipping into my cold veins
Pouring myself down the drain
I've lost appetite for all the food that simmers in front of me
I've lost some thing I can't ever replace
Can't complain, ripping like thunder through the rain

Wake up to the sound of machines
Grinding, tearing holes in the earth and sea
Famously dismantling everything
Grotesque monstrosities
Woke up with a bird's-eye-view
I can see all that's around me
But all perception is dead in our reflections

The whole world is running on fumes
Waiting for a spark in the darkness
To set the world ablaze, to ignite the flame
No pride, no morals, no shame. we believe it's a game

How did it all come to this?
What the fuck did we do to deserve the lives we live?
The disintegration of all that we know is about to commence.

But how are we so ignorant to question ourselves?
Our actions are instinct, prolonging the propagated lie
Subjugating ourselves to these frameworks only trying to survive the menial 9-5
While people are struggling to find light in the empty promise of their lives

No clean water to drink or even to bathe
Systematic poisoning of our own, we're all just circling the drain.
Their aim is to maim & manipulate with misconceptions to obtain control,
Puppeteering our mundane existence
Our collective suffering is painted in a mural

I can't stand the way we piss away our potential
We could live harmoniously
Everyone could live in peace
But we all succumb to the insanity
Seduced by their shine, warped by their design
Locked in the matrix, herded like swine
They trapped our bodies, but they can't lock our minds
I am sick to my stomach, I wish I had the guts to tear out my eyes
Living in a repugnant, racist wasteland
Where Fear & Loathing live hand in hand
Tying people with chains
Putting guns in the hands of the children
Hating the heart of the common man
Has buried its head
Ignorance to the issues that stand at the forefront of morality
Caught up in the cabal,
Starving for understanding
Then the wall will start to fall
