lyrics

Complacent through the ages:
“It’s always been this way.”
Keep telling yourself
that it’s never going to change.
Tradition’s your only mission,
to always stay the same–
despite facts that reveal fictions,
you’re never going to change.

Set in your ways
until the day you die
alongside no one
besides your pride.
But a mind transcribed
does not die soon,
even though
you might want it to.
I can’t reach you,
I can’t break through.

Fragmented into factions–
down we go the rabbit holes
to mend dissatisfaction
with what we don’t want to know–
though you can try to ignore it,
reality has a way
of breaking down your fortress
and permeating
everything you thought you knew–
gone are the old days,
adapt or decay.
I don’t know what to say,
it seems clear to me–
the only thing that stays the same
is the changing constantly–
so keep up or keep out.

Echo chambers suffocate
the range of the mind.
God forbid you ever become a critic
of yourself.
There’s sanctity in humility–
you can’t always get it right.
I hope one day you’ll see
through the duplicity
of those who seem
to only worship spite.

I know, it’s not easy
to leave behind a lie
that you believed in.
The distance
between you and me
is the difference
between our worlds and screens.
The you you made is on display–
your manufactured, preferred face,
but it’s hard for me to believe
that you’d actually
think you’d succeed
in deceiving anybody
But yourself–
too bad, oh well,
we’ve all got our own hells.

It just doesn’t make sense to me.
I mean, times are pretty rough.
Why spread the misery?
Isn’t there enough?
