Letra de Reality's Wake

Dragged down into an escapist mirage.
Hostage to hallucinations.
Dead lights play on my compulsions.
We used to live in the light.
Now we're swallowed up by shadows.
And truth is nothing but a corpse for the vultures.
Is this all you're worth - dopamine through a dead nerve?
Collapsed like a spent vein, a payload of diminished returns.
Worldview on a wire.
Data sick and sleep deprived.
Taunted with truths just out of reach.
Haunted by proof kept under lock and key.
The flesh is a memory blinking out, suspect and subjective.
Our currency is calamity.
We keep you sick, confused and dependent.
Never be well no more.
You'll never be well no more.
Waking dream, arrested sanity, eyes glazed over, no hand at the wheel.
Welcome to the new Forever.
