I want you to listen very very carefully.
Let the "Captain" speak
The ultimate dystopia is inside your own head
Give me chance to teach
Roam wanderer traveling kilometers
Filling his odometer while grasping on thermometers
Cold hearted journey built for more seeing one
Always been this way since the days he was young
And on and on and on and on
He would always run but he never having fun
Haunted memories of where he turned and shun
Disconnection no protection was his choice
The infection spreading further as the volumes of the voice
Grew increasing louder the vibes and the noise
Reached a peak it's incredible as the crowds rejoiced
On and on and on and on and on and on
'til the break of dawn
Picks it up like Tron
Just a highway he from around St. John
Just excuses for the one he can run keep hiding
'til his bank account withdrawn
'til his bank account withdrawn
'til he overuses funds
Cancel orders Amazon
Yet he still goes at Koran The Bible The Scripture
Unplug the fixture shaking up the world
'til it show up on the Richter
On and on and on
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Straying from the path into stories unseen
Staying on the path leads to similar regimes
So it seems what it mean cause it balance on the beam
Never quite know all the teams but enough to fill the steam
Gassed up from the steam its a dangerous disease
Follow grouping is extreme pushing further for supremes
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
and on and on and on and on
'til the break of dawn
The heavens are out there right in front of eyes
But pollution of the mind is blocking all the skies
Blinded by the sin so you never hear the cries
So content when their heads fill with lies
And addiction to the struggle common thirst for the pain
We're never really happy 'til we're driven to insane
Never cross the line to the actions be deranged
All of this is normal but does it feel strange?
And on and on and on and on and on and on
'til the break of dawn
"We are the Supreme Race!
I'm sorry I can't hear you..."
And on and on and on...
No thinking through the process like Ichabod Crane
Just ants in a run cattle being slain
And on and on and on and on and on
So much to give for so little fame
If you have a big heart how can you fit in the frame
Figure in the frame
How can you fit in the frame?
So much to give for so little fame
If you have a big heart how can you fit in the frame?
And on and on
No thinking through the process Ichabod Crane
Ants in the limelight like cattle being slain
So much to give for so little fame
If you have a big heart how can you fit in the frame?
