The essence of lies in notes defined
As we dance to the dissonant sway
The choreography refined
Will, subdued and shackled
Reason washed aside
Pledging our love to the chains
Our ignorance ever amplified
Blooded hands lead the waltz
We're trapped in the out of tune swirl
Still we set the show on continue mode
And dance to a discordant system
We accept the nails we're fed
Lies sharpened to bleed us silent
Muted from the pains
Defiance employed in vain
Any attempts to leave the dance
Invisibly suppressed
Questions unasked, we learn the steps
Eyes shut like all the rest
Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd
Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust
Dominated, compliant and deceptible
Confident that we matter, we don't see that we're but dust
Committed to a lie we cannot see
Cannot know nor comprehend
We're all asinine drones
Kept in the dark, kept in line
Confined, bereft of reason
Withering in toxicity
The deadly fumes of deceit
And we all reek of complicity
Humbled, brought to our knees
By the weight of our own guilt
Our nascent ways, the catalyst
To injustice and inhumanity
We dance to appease
Compete in stupidity
Obscured faces file our points
Numbers fed to the machine
Still we stand in line for the next show
The human spine liquefied
What are we but stupefied
Dancers to a discordant system
We believe, so we're misled
We assume, so we're played
We confide, so we're deceived
We trust, so we're betrayed
We believe, so we're misled
We assume, so we're played
We confide, so we're deceived
We trust, so we're betrayed
Listen to the hidden tune The essence of lies in notes defined As we dance to the dissonant sway The choreography refined Will, subdued and shackled Reason washed aside Pledging our love to the chains Our ignorance ever amplified Blooded hands lead the waltz We're trapped in the out of tune swirl Still we set the show on continue mode And dance to a discordant system We accept the nails we're fed Lies sharpened to bleed us silent Muted from the pains Defiance employed in vain Any attempts to leave the dance Invisibly suppressed Questions unasked, we learn the steps Eyes shut like all the rest Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust Dominated, compliant and deceptible Confident that we matter, we don't see that we're but dust Committed to a lie we cannot see Cannot know nor comprehend We're all asinine drones Kept in the dark, kept in line Confined, bereft of reason Withering in toxicity The deadly fumes of deceit And we all reek of complicity Humbled, brought to our knees By the weight of our own guilt Our nascent ways, the catalyst To injustice and inhumanity We dance to appease Compete in stupidity Obscured faces file our points Numbers fed to the machine Still we stand in line for the next show The human spine liquefied What are we but stupefied Dancers to a discordant system We believe, so we're misled We assume, so we're played We confide, so we're deceived We trust, so we're betrayed We believe, so we're misled We assume, so we're played We confide, so we're deceived We trust, so we're betrayed Explain Request ×
