As life goes on
Matters become more convoluted
Lines blur
The black and white filters fuse
Into grey
No more scan-lines
No more right and wrong
Too late to turn back now
Its already done
Unsettling to think of a bigger picture
Aware of the grand scheme put in motion
The events in your own life
Carefully orchestrated
Completely out of your hands
Aware of those who are pulling the strings
Though they remain unseen
Untouchable
Your peers continue to dream
Oblivious of the consequences
Never digging too deep
I don't want to think about it
I should change the channel
Or even better, just switch myself off
The act so simple on paper
To put into practice is another matter
To do what's right
That's how it was
Polarity reverses
Fiction crumbles
No way to turn blind eyes to the underside
There's cancer in the meat
I know too much
I don't know enough
Stuck between the myriad of choice and mental inflection
Afraid to share the fate of others
Jerked awake, only to die
The boot comes down
The veil stays up
Afraid to speak out
Afraid to share the fate of others
Jerked awake
To Die
