Dopamine, fevered dreams
You can't sleep.
Curated fantasy
Your new security
But you'll find it's not there
No, it was never there
All that you hold dear:
Just transmissions in the air!
Why are we drawn to what enslaves us?
Is it because we were bred to be meek
Generations born to endure what's thrown at them
The course of humanity, yeah?
Well maybe it's really
Better than the unknown
To reap what we have sown
To eat what we have grown
Even if it burns our throat
Better than the unknown
To reap what we have sown
To eat only what we have grown
Even if it burns our throat
Coffee like kerosene
Fuels the anthropocene
Small wishes reign supreme
Blessed by authority
But you'll find we don't care
No, no one really cares.
It's all but hopeless here
And it's the sweetest air!
Why are we drawn to what destroys us?
Is it to kill off all possibility
A walled garden of misery surrounds us
Now we are complete, yes we are, 'cause it's
Better than the unknown
To reap what we have sown
To eat what we have grown
Even if it burns our throat
Better than the unknown
To reap what we have sown
To eat only what we have grown
Even if it burns our throat
We deserve this peace
We want freedom from thinking
(Predictability)
We were born for this peace
We will bow to the king
(With no prompting)
