lyrics

You are the flesh and bone of this plague
Spiralling thought engulfs all, directionless
Consumed by rumination
Paranoid mass eats away the the logical
Entangled in mycelial decay
Leeched of sense, repurposed
Disseminate
Parasitic notions to overcome
Rewrite and usurp the susceptible flock

Deified
The cult of the dreaming eye
Wither to the rot
Salve your confusion as acuity is lost
Contorting and constricting every host
The grand design to undermine and advance the decline

Your third hand opinions are packaged and sold
Predictable patterns, you do as you’re told

Lapping up all the shit that you’ve been drip fed
Seeking it out just to immerse yourself
Every tragedy breeds a thousand fantasies
Rotting all reason until all that’s left are fallacies

Critical thought declines
The credulous stand beguiled
By conspiracy, malice and lies
They’re slowly eating away at your mind

Fabricate
Dodge and evade
Never the same
Shift the blame
Inconsistent
You can’t explain
Insight feigned

You turned to me and said you saw the light
As I gaze at a broken man who burned out his eyes
Repeating your refrains as you rejoin the sightless choir
Treasured for that “open” mind until your use expires

Critical thought declines
The credulous stand beguiled
By conspiracy, malice and lies
They’re slowly eating away at your mind
