lyrics

didn't you hear, the world is your oyster?
spit, don't swallow, let the words come out
let me hear the magical mantra
"why don't you feel proud just to be alive?"

will we ever learn to stop asking
questions to which the answer is suicide?
in a land of milk and honey
where we are both the cows and bees

digital ivory tower of Babel burns

open the floodgates
real life seeps in
unwashed masses
analog horror
look right, look left
eyes on all sides
look in the mouth
of the gift horse

regurgitating
"an eye for an eye"
but every glance is seen as the evil eye

thousands and thousands of years
grains of sand in an hourglass
is it too late to turn upside down?
can we ever win a race against time?

nothing is certain but death and taxes
immortality does not come cheap
in a world stuck on life support
is there really nothing we can do?

if even the air we breathe will
begin to turn against our bodies
why should any of us bother to wake up
when we can see heaven in our dreams?

you keep screaming into the void
as the abyss calls out your name
sell your soul to become a monster
you will never be what you're eating

can you hear me?
this world is a broken record

how am I supposed to swallow my pride?
I never had any of what you prescribe
in your blind rage to turn a blind eye
you just wanna hear little white lies

seeing as we will never kiss goodbye
to this world we are bound untied
why push each other to the opposite termini
instead of finding a way to mend the divide?

I will never buy what you are selling
I put my money where my mouth is
blood and water or honey and vinegar?
none of it matters to a soulless avatar

will we ever learn to start asking
questions to which the answer is deicide?
in a land of milk and honey
where people worship sacrifice as god

they used to say
"make love not war"
but now they say
"bellum est amor"
