lyrics

Beware of the rising tide
Before you're bludgeoned into waking
And sanctify this evisceration
As you conjure up a scapegoat
Rather than face your blind
Complacent hubris
You know they’re coming for
Your right to stay disconnected
From anyone outside your immediate field of vision
Cry out your eyes
Take me to communion
Champion my torment ignoring the cost
Time after time, tribute to the failed tribe
You’re all alibis and cop-outs
Waking up on the outskirts of exile
Are our goals so opposed as to
Generate their endgames from a different source
Languishing in scintillating deception
Saving face we crawl towards the abject
Horror Of the Morals we’ve calibrated
To the subjective flux of our own
Desire, we all submit to mythologize
Every transitory frustration
Cry out your eyes
Take me to communion
Champion my torment ignoring the cost
Time after time, tribute to the failed tribe
You’re tragic and mindful and deaf
We obscure our aims, radiate shame
Convinced the game is
Still zero-sum, as we become
Servants to the intrinsic
Program
Are we no better than this selfish recursion
We normalize obligate
Wanton fratricide under the guise of this
Glorified isolation
Mindlessly heaping our entrails
On the altar of self-actualization
We’ve become a withered husk
