Lyrics
Cognitive Dissonance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Free will is a lie
Compliance paradigm
Existential dissonance
Becoming socially justified
Leading to our cultural demise
Threatening morality
Causing mental suffering
Why do you enforce your laws on me?
Disguise your lies as the truth to me
Run 'cause I'm taking you down with me
This is my life
God damned and condemned
Severe consequence
Prophetic dissonance
We lack the empathy for mankind
Open
Open
Open
Open your eyes and understand
Distorted reality
Causing mental suffering
Why do you enforce your laws on me?
Disguise your lies as the truth to me
Run 'cause I'm taking you down with me
This is my life
Fucking madness surrounding me
Perverted eyes and sharpened teeth
Tearing down society
Blurring lines to disparage me
Threatening morality
Causing mental suffering
Why did you enforce your laws on me?
Disguise your lies as the truth to me
Run 'cause I'm taking you down with me
This is my life
This is my life
