Catharsis V - The Malcontent

Distorted by the media
The truth made powerless
Ignorance and apathy
Spoon-feeding the masses

You must accept this: my discontent
Though irreverent, significant and relevant
Open your eyes and see
You're living a lie not a dream
Passiveness your disease

Blood that thins in twitching limbs
From all this static noise
Throbbing nerves and vision blurs
When I hear the voice

You must accept this: my discontent
Though irreverent, significant & relevant
Open your eyes and see
Losing our freedom, who's to blame?

Holding back the ones who see through the collective schemes
Paralyzed, I'm terrified to face this huge machine

Don't want me to see the underside
It's mechanized and anodized
Indemnified, complex and intangible

Mind force-fed; soul is dead
Kill original thought
Identity holocaust
Individual bought
Get ahead till you're dead
It's the way that we're taught
Do not think; take a drink
And forget what you've lost

You're living a lie not a dream
Complacency your disease
