Lucid

Someone wake me up

From this crooked dream

As I know it now

Life ain't what it seems

Lost in this stream

Life or dream

Of consciousness

Release me

Denial

Is venomous

Poisons them

Mindless mob

Played like fools

Deceives thee

Can't distinguish from reality

How the blatant has slipped

Through effortlessly

With a mindless clown

at the helm of it all

This will be our downfall

Lucid

I'm dreaming

This nightmare has no ending

And while the world turns their back on us

Still nothing changes

Am I dreaming? Is it truly how it seems?

On deaf ears

fall our screams. Fall our screams

A boastful swine.

Narcissistic.

Ego inflation is your only mission.

Rapid regression at the hands of bigots

A lucid nightmare

The life that I'm living

Am I dreaming?

Is this really how it seems?

On deaf ears

fall our screams, fall our screams

When a cause comes along

and you know in your bones that it is just,

yet refuse to defend it--

at that moment you begin to die.

And I have never seen so many corpses

walking around talking about justice.
