This life is plastic Nothing I can do Living within prisons Made of untruths A virtual compound Easy to contain This veil drapes over our minds Keeping us the same Hyper normal living False is all I know There is no escaping From this plastic mould My world's synthetic I know nothing else A virtual prison Built by myself I live fictitious Hidden in visions Cause blindness operates Within our very core Hyper normal living False is all I know There is no escaping From this plastic mould Endless fictions Placating you and me Vicious godhead They only ever speak to mislead We’re silenced Plagued by apathy Nothing left in this world to change Everything remains Pacified by mass uncertainty This lie we live It’s all we see This virtual reality Is not for me Reduced to mere machines A calculated humanity Dismantle this frame Living, breathing Under threat No comfort til death Until then Know your enemy Stay vigilant

Your thin facade And vapid display We’re just a breath away From our final days Our freedoms Lock us in this state Without a voice Failures Take me higher Open secrets Kept in prisms A glass display Suspects the same Fears and angst Your guilt and your shame Without a thought Your will’s cast aside Just a placeholder Watching us watching them Watching you watching me burn Again Failures Take me higher Open secrets Kept in prisms Your failures Take me higher They’re watching With five eyes open Return to me (Break it down) Return in spite of this Return to me (Cast it out) Return these flames Return to me (Break it down) Return these flames Watching us, watching them Watch me burn Return these flames (Pesticide) It’s in the breaths you take (Falsified) It’s in the words you say (Justified) It’s in the steps you take (Cyanide) It’s in this mess you’ve made Failures Take me higher Open secrets Kept in prisms Your failures Take me higher They’re watching With five eyes open

Ideophobic 06:36
Turn back to face this terror, disrupting all This prison encapsulates their mind Ideas, seeming all the same They won’t try to find the truth Cause life seems so secure Step out, gotta break out this shell Nurture dissent Unveil their eyes and minds Drifting ‘round a fallen figure One by one we fade away Desperate to be dictated to What’s to seek when truth is suffering? This presence corrupts us all Jailors manipulate their minds Censored, shifting all the blame Pressured to complicity It makes you insecure A common insanity Nurture dissent Unveil their eyes and minds Afraid of external workings You fear what’s revealed past your mind Left in the dark, lies amplified Don’t we look so oblivious? Fearing the unknown You hide from the truth Left in the darkness With a mirrored perception Your truth is incomplete Your life is pure deceit You live your life in the dark You’ll leave this world to seek your own As ignorance becomes your passion Apparent worlds are losing their grip It’s so unreal You ran away You can’t explain Afraid of external workings You fear what’s revealed past your mind Left in the dark, lies amplified Don’t we look so oblivious? Fearing the unknown You hide from the truth Left in the darkness With a mirrored perception Fearing the unknown You hide from the truth Left in the darkness As you revel in deceit

I don’t need your sanity I just need social disease We all feed off misery Our eyes bleed from hollow screens My own reflection It consumes attention And now it masquerades As pure objectivity Trapped in the echo chamber now Your thoughts, individual Caught up in it all It’s all mechanical Locked down Regurgitate Corrupt my mind This apathy Endlessly distorts So gullible Understand Mass delusions are a consequence Of a self inflicted ignorance When you remove outside evidence What remains is truthlessness Empty words bounce ‘round my head This rhetoric, it’s all been said Your thoughts, individual Caught up in it all It’s all mechanical Locked down Regurgitate Corrupt my mind This apathy Endlessly distorts I can’t see the truth behind Falsehoods, they echo back and forth Back and forth Back and forth Back and forth Locked down

Tell me what I need and I’ll buy it Even if I have to steal Anything you say I’ll believe it Show me who you want me to kill And I’ll kill Nameless Faceless Lost unrecognised remains You do not exist Not like I exist Living is not your best suit A grave’s a better fit We’re sacrificed for nothing Paid in blood unnamed Cause we don’t know any better So show me who to kill To murder is a privilege Live with fear ‘til the end And we don’t know any better So show me who to kill, and I’ll kill This constant state of despair Held in division forever They’ll bleed us until we’re dry The retrograde will not sever Witnessing; distant grief Deafening; every word you’ve said Show me who to kill Tell me what to burn (everything) Show us how to grieve Teach me how to need But not to live If it’s you or me I’ll come out alive Your blood on my hands Fulfills my purpose You do not exist Not like I exist Living is not your best suit A grave’s a better fit In division forever Constant state of despair Retrograde will not sever They bleed us ‘til we’re dry In division forever Constant state of despair And we don’t know any better Just tell me who to kill and I’ll kill

Blood, it's on my hands I can’t get cleansed from death It’s all I see (my body’s prepped for) War, the future state Immortalise my hate A broken mess (my mind is full of) Rage, blinding rage Pointless pain, silenced White noise surrounding me A voiceless plea, no end in sight This cancerous plight This cancerous plight I’ll silence your voice Deceptive rhetoric My violence, your choice It’s ornamental A torrent of will A sense of ridicule Placed on a pedestal It’s ornamental Sorrow and joy It’s ornamental Violence for all We’re ornamental These broken bones and twisted nerves Gathered and framed, no sense of shame These blinded eyes and empty veins Gathered and framed, so unashamed I cast a die and wilt away From things that I could never be It’s always hard to see And we bite the hands that feed until We propagate our misery I place it on a shelf, out of sight Whatever helps you sleep at night I’ll silence your voice Deceptive rhetoric My violence, your choice It’s ornamental A torrent of will A sense of ridicule Placed on a pedestal It’s ornamental Sorrow and joy It’s ornamental Violence for all We’re ornamental

Born into violence Sheltering us An illusory culture of theft They steal every breath Watch as the shadows conquer horizons For one’s progress to thrive another’s must cease Look at how all their affluence screams As they take it from you Yeah they take it from you Power disrupts our will And shapes the bonds that Binds us, shape us, feed us They ultimately blind us Culture owns you and me Power for power and deed for debt Your work is your play, you live with regret You’re weary and sick, your feet in cement Struggling to breathe, you sink to the depths Cause they take every breath Yeah your breath is in debt As power disrupts our will And shapes the bonds that Binds us, shapes us, feeds us They ultimately blind us Culture owns you and me We must tear it down Just tear it down Your vision A herd, deceived Steered toward oblivion Foster resistance Plant the cataracts In the eyes of the prophets Leave them blind Hidden meanings Revealed Beneath the page Deceitful teachings Cast aside Nothing remains My thoughts are automatons Rendered predictable My action’s consumable My torment My despair My terror Caught in this web, I’m done Deep in the fog, I’m lost Buried alive, I’m gone Sickness for everyone Violence adorns these walls Etched into the insides of my skull Poison swells within my eyes Darkened by every falsehood I've been told Caught in this web, I’m done Deep in the fog, I’m lost Buried alive, I’m gone Born under a callous sun No you don’t understand You cannot relate to this Up in a tower you sleep on a pile of bones But wake up from your deceit Severed heads will fall They’ll fall Undo the knots around our culture Reveal the lies that hide beneath Tear these structures down Open up the cage surrounding us Undone and untamed To disavow Exorcising empty crowns Reclaim ourselves Disassociate truth From endless power Counteract and disrupt Corrupt constructs
