lyrics

Oh, I'm starting to believe that there's something in my system
Rearranging nuts and bolts and-
Hey, pay attention!
Like pacifism in new bloom
Its the taste inside my mouth
Resembling a bitter pill
So I just try and spit it out
But its directing all my drives
Dictating my ambition
Redesigning, motivating, rewriting my prescriptions
I've got quotas to fill
The market trading is still on time
I got my adaptive thought process
My countenance is blind

I feel like an American poet
But I don't know what to write
So I'm sitting here real quiet
Til they say that it's my time for me to
Come up to the blackboard and try to recite
All their silly little patterns and vagrant little rhymes
Like it's the last thing they would do
They found a way to keep us quiet
Only problem is they're killing off a virus with a virus
So just know when anxiety grips you, man
Its for your health
The only side effect might be losing your sense of self

They say that beauty comes in numbers
Guess my arithmetic is dull
Full of soft lines and hard drives and underpaid tolls
I feel like the media, unprocessed
Less kick in my step
De-evolutionize the data until there's simply nothing left
Well, this is blissful disillusion
Passing, failing, paranoid?
Well, this is helping me to listen while my circuits get destroyed
The corporate race to keep us focused
Seratonin, cure us all
It's microchip insemination
Darling, the writing is on the wall.
