[Verse 1]
Free will is a lie
Compliance paradigm
Existential dissonance
Becoming socially justified
Leading to our cultural demise
[Pre-Chorus]
Threatening morality
Causing mental suffering
[Chorus]

Prophetic dissonance
We lack the empathy for mankind
Open, open, open

[Pre-Chorus]

Tearing down society
Blurring lines to disparage me
[Pre-Chorus]
Threatening morality
Causing mental suffering
[Chorus]
Why did you enforce your laws on me?
Disguise your lies as the truth to me
Run ‘cause I'm taking you down with me
This is my life
This is my life
