Dogmas put on podiums
Swallow blind the bait
Prime-time advertised, prostitution
In darkness we hibernate
Depravity will take
human form
Let self-destruction be the norm
We will not know the end
We will all be numb by then
Collective
destructive behaviour
Precise and clean self-mutilation
Soft skin, hardened surgical scars
Methadone addiction
Recreational
narcotics
Balanced and controlled
No reflection in the mirror
The cage inside us all
Apathy, the sharpest weapon
A
respect built on abuse
So thin, so transparent
Brought up on diet truth
Painted up in weekend bliss
So afraid of what we might
miss
Comfort or freedom, you can't have both
Sharpen the knives, go for their throats
Collective destructive
behaviour
Precise and clean self-mutilation
Soft skin, hardened surgical scars
Methadone addiction
Recreational
narcotics
Balanced and controlled
No reflection in the mirror
The cage inside us all
Apathy, the sharpest weapon
A
respect built on abuse
So thin, so transparent
Brought up on diet truth
The longer we dwell on in silence
The less that we
question ourselves
The next generation, our children
Will have no rights left to protect.
Collective destructive
behaviour
Precise and clean self-mutilation
Soft skin, hardened surgical scars
Methadone addiction
Recreational
narcotics
Balanced and controlled
No reflection in the mirror
Unseen, expendable
The cage inside us all
