๐ Lyrics
We're drawn in by revelations coming
Every flicker of the eye
Others' dreams we dive inside
Themselves begin to fill our minds
And so we live in envy
Ever more our fleeting lives
A shadow by a window
Ever further from the light
Think of what we've conquered
Think of what we know
And yet we fall to silence
Connected but alone
The onus of discovery
Adventures of our own
Suppressed by Gods with henchmen
And dictated from a throne
The gift is given
To the sadists with it all
Despite excess they won't stop
Farming us masochists
With our own meagre bankrolls
By the life I once lived fiercely
I sit upon a wall
And gaze upon the nothing I want more
As the world we built is plundered
We're threatening us all
I'm thinking of the nothing I want more
I'm challenged by a feeling
That my life's already passed
Or passing with such speed
I shall not find moments to grasp
Consuming rays of pleasure
Consumes me at the last
As a million thoughts confound me
In the mould I have been cast
The gift is given
To the sadists with it all
Will you, hand them more than you've got
Be their masochist
Drop your guard and just rag doll
The gift is given
To the sadists with it all
Despite excess they won't stop
Farming us masochists
With our own meagre bankrolls
By the life I once lived fiercely
I sit upon a wall
And gaze upon the nothing I want more
As the world we built is plundered
We're threatening us all
I'm thinking of the nothing I want more
Though I try to turn away
Big Bro again demands I face
A distraction of the nothing I want more
As the world we built is plundered
We're threatening us all
I'm still thinking of the nothing I want more
I challenge you to tell me
This human race completely dominated
By social media isn't utterly unbearable
Without sounding like you've totally lost
The ability to pay attention to the facts
And think for yourself
Because I don't think
I could claim that anymore
Honestly
I feel we're sliding uncontrollably
At this point
And laughing at the sensation
Not only are we losing ground
On personal freedoms and wider justice
We're sinking into our own lonesome pits
Devoid of all else but our disgraceful fall
Towards ever more sordid meaninglessness
And despite the swelling seclusion
Of our digital existence
We're developing a greater and greater
Thirst for others' suffering within the physical world
Are we so convinced this will lift
Our experience before we part with it?
I'm not
Every flicker of the eye
Others' dreams we dive inside
Themselves begin to fill our minds
And so we live in envy
Ever more our fleeting lives
A shadow by a window
Ever further from the light
Think of what we've conquered
Think of what we know
And yet we fall to silence
Connected but alone
The onus of discovery
Adventures of our own
Suppressed by Gods with henchmen
And dictated from a throne
The gift is given
To the sadists with it all
Despite excess they won't stop
Farming us masochists
With our own meagre bankrolls
By the life I once lived fiercely
I sit upon a wall
And gaze upon the nothing I want more
As the world we built is plundered
We're threatening us all
I'm thinking of the nothing I want more

Consuming rays of pleasure
