Obsolescence 05:53
Artificial in existence Forged with obsolescence Actuated synthetics Are running in tow with aberrations Obsolescence Propaganda perpetuates Through engines Oligarchal untruths Reinforced Propaganda perpetuates Through engines Parasites planted in the mind Now making their way into the flesh Man-made machines Mass-produced with malignance Information asymmetry Continues to control humankind Man-made machines Mass produced with malignance We have become prisoners of time We have become victims of their greed Artificial in existence Forged with obsolescence Actuated synthetics Are running in tow with aberrations Obsolescence
2.
Solipsist 02:33
They sell a one-way ticket for all of your senses You’re content with all the lies That you’ve been force fed your entire lives Bias achieved through the primal thoughts That are inherently solipsistic It’s nothing more Than the regressive tendencies That feed the alter ego A delusion Your senses are overloaded again Till they become numb You seek patterns in chaos again To reveal a false reality
3.
In a world that’s filled with ruination There’s always ignorance The search for meaning has been hijacked Relegated our existence The fight for power in any form Waged on for centuries There emerged a peculiar type The great Master Supreme Blethering their way to the naive Prophets of pure nonsense have arrived Explanations never correlate Peddling all this new-age poppycock Expose them all, toss them in the garbage Where they belong, nullify their forces
4.
Dead End 06:58
Inadvertent to repetition Subjected to monetary trapping Slowly chip away at your mind Vicious their levity There are strategies meticulously put in Positioned to stop progression Inadvertent to repetition Subjected to monetary trapping Slowly chip away at your mind Vicious their levity There are strategies meticulously put in Positioned just for suppression Deliberately deceived with supposed incentives At the cost of what? Paradigms turned over Disenchanted submission To their ends The hazardous infliction It spreads through the cracks Productivity comes first But at the cost of what? Diseased - The center, corrupting the whole Diseased - The center, lost in the void Diseased - The enter, corrupting us all Diseased - The center, lost in the void

Identoid 02:46
Pressure to assimilate You give in to savage belief Comfort in labels To belong, you condone death Just a mask to function With wicked intentions In a maze of eternal illusion You run till the end of time Till the end of… Time You’ve grown accustomed to killing because You’ve been desensitized by your religions Doctrines that masquerade as truth Have pervaded your mind You accept without question The dogmas that plague us all Unsound and misguided You’re too blind to your own fallacies Devoid of any coherence, you propound lies Altering your mind Shadows surface A crutch for fantasies - genocidal Manufactured bullshit on the news Recycled garbage aired just for you Circle of confirmation bias Forever doomed
6.
Sugar Pill 04:21
Questions still left unanswered It’s obvious there’s no mystic reason Yet always you claim ‘like cures like’ Blame miasms You say ingest them sugar pills I say it’s just placebo Pretense without any evidence Industry run by mere deception Sugar pills! Pseudoscience adopted by mere faith Embedded in our culture will end us all Diluting things with each other has never cured
7.
Vicious cycle in motion Never-ending game Conned by these cronies With interests of their own Regulated compensation Ignored again Isolation uninhibited Orchestrated well Regulated compensation Ignored again Isolation uninhibited Orchestrated well by men In their ivory towers Their vast shadows Engulf the entire world Like leeches, they draw blood Anesthetics in place A lack of understanding Propelled by conmen on demand Zero-sum game
8.
Forced into vain existence without a concern Burned by fallout in a world made for slaves Indoctrination through flawed pedagogy - tailored You’re all brainwashed by primitive thought for - control Inculcation: learning by rote - constant Tests standardised, made to keep us - in check Just maggots living in a corpse Hives now full of decay While we all slog away Gluttonous pigs hold the reins And revel in fractured ways Infestation of the mind Congregations to conform Installation of non-thought Resist them all till we’re dust Phase out all the social structures And all of the societal pressure That dictates paths
