Social Suicide: Drowning in the Temptations of Conformity
Lyrics
I won't be a slave
I refuse to be controlled or subjugated.
I cannot bear to watch
I cannot bear to witness something.
It's all just innocent
Everything appears harmless or guiltless.
Put it to your lips and drink
Consume it by putting it to your lips and drinking.
Seeking alcohol to save your world
Searching for alcohol to rescue your world.
But the drink
However, the beverage.
That you seek
That you desire.
Is the thing that's bringing you down
Is the factor causing your downfall.

Another heartbroken in this world
Another person experiencing heartbreak in the world.
When you lose control
When you lose command or influence.
Your friends are the same way
Your companions exhibit similar behavior.
You're all drowning in the same boat
All of you are sinking together in the same circumstances.
Stupidity weighs it down
Ignorance and foolishness are burdening the situation.
Make one last toast you're about to drown
Proposing a final gesture or tribute before succumbing to the downfall.
