It does no good pretending
No disbelief suspending
We’re moving ever closer to the goddamn end of the world.
Sitting, watching all the garbage flooding through our screens.
We wait for the puppeteers to tell us what it means
Keep still,
and no pulling at the strings.
Unless you are prepared to deal with the unraveling.
Ignorance and the most offensive
Soft police and the most offended
A tightrope turned into a noose
The lines are drawn in the sand
Preaching on the soapbox with internet connectivity
Dopamine drips from likes that feed us our validity.
Keep still,
no pulling at the strings.
Unless you are prepared to deal with the unraveling.
As above so below
Orchestrated head to toe
It seems like a child
Repeating back all the news
that they’ve been eating from the trough.
I cannot make it clearer than this,
these people we prop up do not give a shit.
So we fight with each other,
while we watch the world burn.
And these sons of bitches never get what they deserve.
