Tunnel Vision

It's like we're stuck in a movie The one where the villain's the victor Like the end of American Beauty But no one is pulling the trigger Nobody cares what the truth is As long as it's feeding the madness We can't continue to do this So take the advice Just a word to the wise But we never listen These white little lies They're all so convincing There's no wrong or right Just grey aberration So look for the dazzling light At the end of this tunnel vision Wake up, turn on the actual news (Don't care what they're making me believe As long as they're feeding it to me) My god, is it still part of the truth (Don't care what they're making me see) If no one believes in the television? Tryin' to tell you that the world's on fire It's safe to say that everyone's a liar Yeah we're sick But all we need is another nudge in the wrong direction Can we just stop for a moment? And maybe imagine a future Where there is no shame in atonement And all of our wounds can be sutured We'll always be stuck in a chokehold If we keep ignoring the signs So we either take off the blindfold Or live in a world where Critique is a vice Your words are a weapon If you don't comply Who knows what will happen? It's Lord of the Flies; Eat or be eaten There's nowhere to hide if you're Willing to die for this tunnel vision Wake up, turn on the actual news (Don't care what they're making me believe As long as they're feeding it to me) My god, is it still part of the truth (Don't care what they're making me see) If no one believes in the television? Tryin' to tell you that the world's on fire It's safe to say that everyone's a liar Yeah we're sick But all we need is another nudge in the wrong direction Have we finally crossed a line? Oh, can we walk towards the light At the the end of this tunnel vision? A word to the wise But we never listen Wake up, turn on the actual news (Don't care what they're making me believe As long as they're feeding it to me) My god, is it still part of the truth (Don't care what they're making me see) If no one believes in the television? Tryin' to tell you that the world's on fire It's safe to say that everyone's a liar Yeah we're sick But all we need is another nudge in the wrong direction
