See the life that I was sold wasn't advertised

And deep within our souls were traumatised

Like, I'm standing in CTRL of a loaded Die

And I hope we get to see this paradise

See the life that I was sold wasn't advertised

And once you see the flaws they are so hard to hide

An illusion of CTRL we tried to hide. See the life that I was sold

It's like this TV's telling me that I need pedigree

Purchase it for discount this screen prescribes a remedy

Input from memory, numbers are engraved on me

Digits to distinguish and divide us split

We sit cracked then broke we quit

Paid for life decisions but that pay don't fit

But wait, there's a hope, so relax, let's pray

I've heard there's a place, let's go, be brave

I played for the distance sink with that

Conscious weaves and I'm back in the flat

Stirred from a scene with a rat-tat-tat

So I claw to return, but I can't get back

Well, they say "In to win"

When they soar they fly wing to wing

Nobody wants to be falling so they swim

That's why I know when I smoke the airs thin

And that chronic, like a tonic, what I feel

Dulling what I feel has such mass appeal

So I'll lie in these fields, come alive in these fields

I might die in these fields

Signal dropped out for a while, when it came back it... no smile

Turned upside down by the way that I know that I am no child

Grown up so long now that I wonder how and I wonder why

I didn't give up didn't even try

Cause I took real life like a set design

And I hear them thunderclaps, at the end of a baseball bat

And I tried to deflect or react but when those debt collectors collect

They come for your soul

So listen because you bought in to the system

No cash out, no! No resistance see it magnifies off the prism

And I know when it feels like tax

Because I know how it feels to be trapped

When you feel like you're lost and you can't get back

Because I've been weighed down; so low, so long

Doesn't really matter if you're grown no no

That's why I feel so cold-shouldered

So we aim to breathe out by the sea

But in truth, we need smoke to breathe

Never want to be the devil, levels are enabled, bets are of the table

Truth is in the fable, bigger baddies can be bodied end of level

All we really need to do is let it go

Try to show this but never tried to hold, now I chose to evolve

Down the river, by the road, with no rudder no control

See the life that I was sold wasn't advertised

And deep within our souls were traumatised

Like, I'm standing in CTRL of a loaded Die

And I hope we get to see this paradise

See the life that I was sold wasn't advertised

And once you see the flaws they are so hard to hide

An illusion of CTRL we tried to hide. See the life that I was sold

The stake, the balance. The snakes, the ladders

The stick the carrot. The kind, the callous

Divide the adders. The scrapes, the scratches

The cuts, the bruises. The cash, the credit

The paper plastic. The fake, the classic

The lake, the rapids. The vacant, vapid

The patient, placid. This beauty, beast

This trick or treat. Is this real life or repeats
