Reality's Wake
Dragged down into an escapist mirage
Hostage to hallucinations
Dead lights play on my compulsions
We used to live in the light
Now we're swallowed up by shadows
And truth is nothing but a corpse for the vultures
Is this all you're worth, dopamine through a dead nerve?
Collapsed like a spent vein, a payload of diminished returns
Worldview on a wire
Data sick and sleep deprived
Taunted with truths just out of reach
Haunted by proof kept under lock and key
The flesh is a memory blinking out, suspect and subjective
Our currency is calamity
We keep you sick, confused and dependent
Never be well no more
You'll never be well no more
Waking dream, arrested sanity, eyes glazed over, no hand at the wheel
Welcome to the new forever
