A Gray State -

Sewage

Coursing through constricting veins

Their hearts are black

The lies intact

Vultures picking at remains

Dark clouds form high above

As we descend into utter lunacy

Everything’s watched

Everyone’s watching

This is the future we have shaped

We search for the origin of discourse

But the demon lies within us

A sense of security, tightly embraced

But they don’t want us safe, just controlled and erased

A nameless casualty

A number within a database

They do not want us safe

Just controlled and erased

We are an agenda

Merely consuming to much space

They do not want us safe, just controlled and erased

All this talk of revolution

I don’t need your fucking politics

My eyes are opened wide

There’s no escaping this

They do not want us safe

Just controlled and erased

You want me to lay down and die?

You won’t live to see the day

Fingers pressed to a fading pulse

Things are not at all what they seem

Illusions conceived and crafted

All hope torn away and redacted

Turn to hide the face of the enemy

Standing in plain sight for the world to see

Illusions conceived and crafted

All hope torn away and redacted

All this talk of revolution

I don’t need your fucking politics

My eyes are opened wide

There’s no escaping this
