They Bartholomule

Darkness at the edge of my vision

Portents I won't prevent

It feels like so long since I last took a breath

On and on and on

It's like this everyday

Societal deficit of common sense and decency

Ideological war is here to stay

We're staring out the window

The window's facing a wall

And happiness is chemical

If ya don't got nothing nice to say

Then don't say nothing at all

Marionettists' strings seem to be attached to everything

We've surrounded ourselves in this web, it's fucking sickening

United we'd stand, but together we'll fall down

Can't interact without ripping each other's throats out

We behave this way because we've been trained

Land of the free!? Home of the brave!?

Freedom to keep dreaming capitalist America's dreams

Brave enough to spend a little extra this week

We drown our misery in any way that we can

Holding knives to each other's throats waiting for imperial command

Thickening quickening sinking in

We are under their control

Have we all sold our souls?

Nightmare hellscape no escape

When did this become normal?

Have we all sold our souls?

No heaven, no hell, no gods above, just devils

We are so easily bemused

I can't wait to see how we lose
