Spare no expense for the spectacle,
There's many truths to the world you know.
As we stray from the rhythm
Of the conveyor belt.
and expose, all those
manipulators in the shadows.
and expose, all those
manipulators behind the scenes.
When the lights go out,
you'll see it again.
When the lights go out
you'll feel it.
We will not stand for all these
gaslighting forces.
When the lights go out
you'll see it.
We are no better
than those we condemn.
We are better than
their actions at every turn.
When they're calling your name
at night, at a volume to make you wake.
When the unwanted thoughts return
have the courage to face them down.
Do not adjust your mind
The fault lies in reality.
Your offence does nothing
take offence dethrone them.

Assaulting the senses,
peering through lenses,
can't even move
without sensing the sales pitch.
The more you consume,
the more you're consumed.
Endless endeavors
as we upgrade forever.
Desires reduction
to the simplest form,
as we move together
to the algorithm.
Engineer destruction
divided we fall,
when illusions collapse
the truth reveals all...
They're playing both sides
Disguised they incite
Corrupt to the core
Divide and conquer.
The currency of fear
and anxieties,
War profiteers
creating soundbites.
Energy vampires
narrate a demise,
A veil to disguise
the safety money buys.
They orchestrate riots
inciting violence,
discredit resistance
create a hive mind.
Eyes are projectors
lighting expression,
As hidden agendas
pay for the cure.
Destabilize
using deception,
Fly a false flag
to get you on board.
Desires reduction
to the simplest form
as we move together
to the algorithm.
The charade has shed
its subtlety.
Problem,
Reaction,
then the solution...
"You can trust us."
Take me to
gratitude,
Push through
your resistance.
Look to the stars,
to voice the injustice,
but all the 'idols' are
shallow, rich, posers!
They're playing ALL sides
disguised they incite,
Corrupt to the core!
Divide and conquer...
'Til we rise above!

Your privy to some special kind
of subversion in your mind,
Your privy to some special kind
of discerning sceptic eye.
But, you fall into credulity...
with every hook and line.
From Cult leaders & hollow vulture
Snake oil salesmen and women.
The vulnerable and the marginalised -
too much trauma to deal with lies.
Accosted by a system
No choice but to believe them.
Drown out the voices.
Drown out the voices!
If it costs a price,
be sure what kind.
Tell yourself you're compassionate
Reciting the narrative.
Your words scream of privilege.
Always right, til there's nothing left.
But greed sustained by rats in suits
And plutocrats control the news.
The taste intoxicates.
As culture dissipates.
And if it costs a price
be sure what kind.
The naivety and ignorance
you project on everyone.
Feelings and beliefs align
almost as if by design.
So, worship a slogan
that illicits emotion.
The taste intoxicates
as culture dissipates.

He's out for blood.
He can't be denied.
Are you some kind of cult?
A web of deceit and lies.
Wearing the face
of Alienation
Under the guise
of morality.
The monsters are not
metaphors.
They're just the unchecked
part of us.
Now, you'll never live it.
Down, forever rigid and
Proud, the echo chamber is
Loud, corruption seizes doubt.
Vilification, of an imaginary line.
Culture and routes become weaponised
where beliefs are confined.
Identity truths used to divide,
While celebrity cults all lack a spine.
The control you disdain
you now replicate.
God have mercy on us all.

Satellites

Our skyline
sways and oscillates.
Your expression
you learned to replicate.
Through screen projections
you send intentions.
you closed the distance
By signals through satellites
Science Fiction
The blueprint for everything.
Our greatest connection
Closer, than we have ever been.
You slowly rotate
and move through outer space.
You orbit so freely and pierce
our atmosphere.
Science Fiction
The blueprint for everything.
Our greatest connection
Closer, than we have ever been.
But you're never gonna
No, you're never gonna
change your ways,
change your inconsistencies.
From the stars above
to the depths below.
All hopes and dreams
future becomes destiny.
Like birds of prey.
Above the council estate -
you scan the terrain
for the sake of discovery.
Hold close
your loved ones
Hold close.

Electric Eyes

As we disperse
onto contentious ground,
Lay your head down
and take off your flowered crown.
A temporary touch we desire,
But passion is paper thin
without your commitment.
With whispering voices
you re-define.
All you are.
Back to the start.
Like a conquering force
all is fair in love and war.
Our days lay,
beneath overgrown pathways.
Your ghost remains
Sprawling the moonlit plains,
Haunting the neuropathways
truth is transitory, our shapes will culminate.
We collide
and come to life.
We disperse
into new forms
bare in the wild.
When you look in
with those eyes,
lean back for now.
All the times you hid your lies
comes back around
fell apart in the great divide
Until it all broke down.
All the chemicals
they gave you,
they changed you.
