Dominant Paradigm

[Chorus A]
Hey
Is this a bad dream?
Is this a bad dream?

[Chorus B]
Leeching on like parasites
Why won’t these tyrants burn?
Transforming and shedding skin
As they begin to turn (they begin to)

[Verse 1]
Watching all the walls that were tall crumble fall to the floor
Is this the end or beginning of a new war?
I can’t feel my face from this transmitted acid
Burning holes in my eyes until they dribble out
It’s like a bad movie from the dark times
Dissecting body parts down to enzymes
I swear, being awake is the most heinous crime
Disconnect me from the dominant paradigm

[Chorus A]
Is this a bad dream?
Is this a bad dream?

[Verse 2]
Hug me till the dirt dries up
Bury me till my lungs slow down
Lie to me till I believe you're there
Whispering your gospel like it’s the Lord’s prayer
I feel blind

[Chorus A]
Hey
Is this a bad dream?

[Chorus B]
Leeching on like parasites
Why won’t these tyrants burn?
Transforming and shedding skin
As they begin to turn
Leeching on like parasites
I watch these tyrants burn
Transforming and shedding skin
As they begin to

[Verse 3]
Sit down! And take your meds
Stand up! It’s time you bled
Sit down! Eat the news
It’s good for you

[Chorus A]
Hey
Is this a bad dream?
Is this a bad dream?

[Verse 1]
It’s like a bad movie from the dark times
Dissecting body parts down to enzymes
I swear, being awake is the most heinous crime
Disconnect me from the dominant paradigm

[Verse 3]
Sit down! And take your meds
Stand up! It’s time you bled
Sit down! Eat the news

[Chorus B]
Leeching on like parasites
Why won’t these tyrants burn?
Transforming and shedding skin
As they begin to, they begin to turn

[Outro]
I feel blind
