hard reset

false goodness of heart pretending
can't have a world upending
such beautiful lies deceiving
had you so long believing

from million to zero, there's no escape from the loop
another burnt child already used to the hoop
jump in and through and count down once more
obey, parade, parade, true face to the fore

embodiment of everything they despise
secretly they pray for your untimely demise
so better get going for the fight is now on
wake up, become, become, rise leviathan

for fallacy's sake contending
the keepers of lies intending
need you anticipating
ceaselessly iterating

false goodness of heart pretending
can't have a world upending
need you anticipating
ceaselessly iterating

phrases on repeat, always out of the blue
the same old tales, not even technically true
entertain at your peril the futile desire
let go, destroy, destroy, cast it into the fire

extinct beasts trying to preach shame and dread
we gave in to peer pressure from the dead
time to banish their specters to history
transcend, alive, alive, here's to victory

these chains were made for breaking
give them a good old shaking
hear the prelude to freedom
the keys to the kingdom, seize them

such beautiful lies deceiving
had you so long believing
hear the prelude to freedom
the keys to the kingdom, seize them

(2021)
