Purity

Wake up in bleary dark
Another day another fight
Told to work hard and to play hard
I’ve reached the end of the line

In this procession of the self
We’re meant to want and have it all
This systematic house of wealth
Where no one breaks me when I fall

Addicted to the praise
Addicted to the cash
Addicted to the dream
It’s so hyperreal

Try to stay desired and young
At our narcissistic church
Worshipping ignorant and dumb
Our values so perversе

Promised everlasting lifе
Soon we’ll all cease to exist
Our calculated steep decline
Our sense of self adrift

I’ll be anything you need
Your source of purity
Your quick escape from reality
I’ll be anything you need
Numb yourself from me
Your quick escape from reality

Complicit in silent dusk
Binary cycle of light and shadow
In this structure we trust
Rewards the daily fucking grind

We play the hand we’re dealt
Keep our precious dreams so small
This age of lies where a constant sense of
Contempt becomes the norm
