Now it’s just the way we see the world,
Gutted from the source,
Sheep fed by the wolves,
And we beg for more.
These whores have ripped their souls to splice our rotten core.
Spoon fed our beliefs,
Seeking no relief,
Fattened by our greed.
And technology
It seems has come to be the sedative we need.
Luxuries have become hoods to fall behind.
Ignorance has come to calm the masses.

In marring mouths these truths transform like butterflies cocooned in lies.
Their webbed wings are pulling the weight of your empty minds and they hardly try.

Oh, we want to stay on top of everything,
But wicked words are whispered when we wade within their ring.
Holding hope to condemn who don’t believe
While preaching that no judge can reckon thee.

Hear no evil and see no evil,
But “speak no evil” stands above the forbidden act.
We chose to shout from brittle platforms,
But they’ll fold unless we reinforce them with grounded fact.

Drawn along by the string that guides our thoughts,
Pulling each and every stop to flood our minds with props.
Drain all the reason we’ve embraced and hide behind your drapes.
Who needs answers from anyone who doesn’t fuel our hate?
