Tripitaka

We sell souls back to the reject sons of lab rats,
kiss their defects,
exult their imperfections.
There'll be no assimilation,
systematic cold persuasion,
psychomanipulation.

We will take you
We will tame you.
Sterilize you.
Reconstrain you.
Questions rise and come too fast
I need to feel your arms at last
To still the future rushing by.
The promises we've been denied.

Truth diluted by dominions
Only we hear your opinions
One in six hundred million
We will keep you from detection,
from recruitment for correction.
It's for your own protection.

We will take you
We will tame you.
Sterilize you.
Reconstrain you.
Questions rise and come too fast
I need to feel your arms at last
To still the future rushing by.
The promises we've been denied.
Don't show me the future then take it away, take it away.
Don't offer me hope then replace it with pain, replace it with pain.
Your quest for perfection is raping my brain, raping my brain
They did it to you so you'll do it again. Do it again.
Questions rise and come too fast
I need to feel your arms at last
To still the future rushing by.
The promises we've been denied.
