Listen to the hidden tune   The essence of lies in notes defined   As we dance to the dissonant sway   The choreography refined      Will, subdued and shackled   Reason washed aside   Pledging our love to the chains   Our ignorance ever amplified      Blooded hands lead the waltz   We're trapped in the out of tune swirl   Still we set the show on continue mode   And dance to a discordant system      We accept the nails we're fed   Lies sharpened to bleed us silent   Muted from the pains   Defiance employed in vain      Any attempts to leave the dance   Invisibly suppressed   Questions unasked, we learn the steps   Eyes shut like all the rest      Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd   Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust   Dominated, compliant and deceptible   Confident that we matter, we don't see that we're but dust      Committed to a lie we cannot see   Cannot know nor comprehend   We're all asinine drones   Kept in the dark, kept in line      Confined, bereft of reason   Withering in toxicity   The deadly fumes of deceit   And we all reek of complicity      Humbled, brought to our knees   By the weight of our own guilt   Our nascent ways, the catalyst   To injustice and inhumanity      We dance to appease   Compete in stupidity      Obscured faces file our points   Numbers fed to the machine   Still we stand in line for the next show   The human spine liquefied   What are we but stupefied   Dancers to a discordant system      We believe, so we're misled   We assume, so we're played   We confide, so we're deceived   We trust, so we're betrayed      We believe, so we're misled   We assume, so we're played   We confide, so we're deceived   We trust, so we're betrayed
