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.
