Listen to the hidden tune
The essence of lies in notes defined
As we dance to the dissonant sway

The choreography refined
Will subdued and shackled
Reason washed aside

Pledging our love to the chains
Our ignorance ever-amplified


Blooded hands lead the waltz
We're trapped in the out of tune swirl
Still we set the show on continue mode

And dance to a discordant system

We accept the nails we're fed

Lies sharpened to bleed us silent
Muted from the pains
Defiance employed in vain

Any attempts to leave the dance,
Invisibly suppressed
Questions unasked, we learn learn the steps

Eyes shut like all the rest

Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd

Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust
Dominated, compliant and deceptable
Confident that we matter - we don't see that we're but dust


Committed to a lie we cannot see, cannot know nor comprehend
We're all asinine drones kept in the dark, kept in line


Confined, Bereft of reason
Withering in toxicity

The deadly fumes of deceit
And we all reek of complicity
Humbled, brought to our knees

By the weight of our own guilt
Our nescient ways the catalyst
To injustice and inhumanity


We dance - to appease
Compete in stupidity


Obscured faces file our points
Numbers fed to the machine

Still we stand in line for the next show
The human spine liquefied
What are we, but stupefied

Dancers to a discordant system

We believe - so we're misled

We $$#ume - so we're played
We confide - so we're deceived
We trust - so we're betrayed
