Lyrics
Your traps are all baited
Your schemes are all set up to entice others.
Your scales are all weighted
Your judgments are biased and favor a particular outcome.
But not resisting you would surely drive me insane
However, yielding to you would drive me to madness.
So I'm caught and convicted,
Thus, I'm trapped and declared guilty.
My rights are restricted
My freedoms are curtailed.
The imbecile dynasty continues to reign
The foolish ruling class persists in power.
Your apathy of thought
Your lack of care for critical thinking.
Has lead you to believe
Has led you to accept falsehoods.
That things are what they're not
You believe in illusions.
My friend you've been deceived
My friend, you've been misled.
The easiest route rarely leads to the truth
The easiest path seldom reveals the truth.
I see the self approval glaze your eyes
I notice your self-satisfaction clouding your judgment.
You know you're right
You're convinced of your correctness.
No need to worry why
No need to question why.
A thousand stones remain unturned
Many important aspects remain unexplored.
In the wake of your unquestioned answers
Amid your unquestioned beliefs, there's much undisclosed truth.
And truth covered lies
Deception hides within the guise of truth.
Traditions some bear
Some customs are borne without consideration.
Idly without out a care
But these traditions are staunchly unyielding.
But are determined that they stand unchanged
They're determined to remain unchanged.
And those who choose to rebel
Those who revolt merely for chaos, what's their objective?
Just to raise up some hell
What do they aim to achieve?
Tell me what are you hoping to gain
I can't reason with you
I cannot engage in rational discourse with you.
I speak words you can't hear
I communicate words that you refuse to hear.
Social conditioning left you with deafened ears
Your societal conditioning has rendered you deaf to reason.
So I take your face in hand
Therefore, I observe your expression closely.
See that look in your eyes
I notice a stare in your eyes that is lifeless.
That rigormortis stare,
A vacant, unresponsive gaze that I detest.
That look that I despise
And so, I turn away from you.
And so I turn from you
I traverse these streets in solitude.
I walk these streets alone
Alone, I seek the truth.
Alone I search for truth
An ideal that you've abandoned.
Ideal that you've disowned
I hope for a revelation,
And wait with fingers crossed
Wishing for your eventual self-discovery.
And pray you'll someday find
That you'll perceive things from your own perspective.
A way to see things though your own eyes
That you'll eventually see truth through your own eyes.
