Purity

Wake up in bleary dark

Another day another fight

Told to work hard and to play hard

I’ve reached the end of the line

In this procession of the self

We’re meant to want and have it all

This systematic house of wealth

Where no one breaks me when I fall

Addicted to the praise

Addicted to the cash

Addicted to the dream

It’s so hyperreal

Try to stay desired and young

At our narcissistic church

Worshipping ignorant and dumb

Our values so perverse

Promised everlasting life

Soon we’ll all cease to exist

Our calculated steep decline

Our sense of self adrift

I’ll be anything you need

Your source of purity

Your quick escape from reality

I’ll be anything you need

Numb yourself from me

Your quick escape from reality

Complicit in silent dusk

Binary cycle of light and shadow

In this structure we trust

Rewards the daily fucking grind

We play the hand we’re dealt

Keep our precious dreams so small

This age of lies where a constant sense of

Contempt becomes the norm
