Lyrics

[Verse 1]
1984, the blueprint for our current state
Oceania, tyrants' favored utopia
The warnings were there
Still we chose to turn away
Our hell now unfolds
The trap is closing in on us
[PreChorus]
How could we let them, how did we fail?
[Verse 2]
They make you a spy
You monitor your fellow man
Make sure he abides
Finds his place in the line
For the greater good, all must be sacrificed
You offer it all
Then see that you are the sacrifice
[PreChorus]
How could we let them, how did we fail?
[Chorus]
I know it's you, it's you enslave me, you enslave yourself
I know it's me, I enforce the rules and police myself
I know it's here, it lives in the systems we use every day
I know it's now 1984
[Verse 3]
Will we stand the test
Or are we doomed to slavery?
The moment draws near
The critical boiling point
Walls are closing in
Needles are drawn to prick your skin
What will be
When no one is nothing and fear is all?
[PreChorus]
How could we let them, how did we fail?
[Chorus]
I know it's you, it's you enslave me, you enslave yourself
I know it's me, I enforce the rules and police myself
I know it's here it lives in the systems we use every day
I know it's now 1984
[Chorus]
I know it's you, it's you enslave me, you enslave yourself
I know it's me, I enforce the rules and police myself
I know it's here, it lives in the systems we use every day
I know it's now 1984
