lyrics

Invasive, pervasive, intractable tracking
By the ever-present eye
Watching your movement, every part of your life
Seen by this digital spy

Recording, en masse, all of your steps
Now 'til the day that you die
Ingested, refined, sorted, then fed
Right back into your mind

Unaware, oblivious, insidious scenes
Presented as the world bona fide
Erase, replace all of your dreams
Manipulate, abate all that's inside

Your mind is guided to into the gutter that serves as your prison

Mindless servitude
Is all they want from you
No more spark inside
Once all your dreams have died

Fill you with their lies
Remove hope from your eyes
Your soul locked with their key
Eternal agony

Demons from below will grasp at your feet
Snare you with diversion then the cycle repeats
Sensors give them data for their algos to crunch
Then build a new lure for your psyche to munch

Keep your eyes open, be aware of their plan
Take time, unplug, recharge, be able to stand
Stand against this construct, meant to enchain
Your mind, your self, and all that you've made

Resist the ubiquitous, negative frame
Persist and fill your mind with purposeful aim
Your life's in your hands, you have a choice in this game
Move toward that which transcends your pain
