Perpetuating misconceptions detrimental to reality
Progressive illness overlooked in favour of brutality
Promoting violence in men, a dark denial of morality
Lethality becomes legality, a sickening mentality
We’re proud to see
A self-made man with his own life
Smothering his strife by isolating his wife
She undergoes the knife to a conform to a norm
Our maddened society has formed
Brush mental illness under the carpet
Blame crime on terrorism – our nation is a target!
We farm it, the agriculture of aggression
Emotions are weakness, strength is repression
We command our own oppression
Violating our own free will through the power of suggestion
Drown your sorrows in this liquor, it’ll make your skin thicker
Use some prescription pills as mixer
A homemade remedy for all the flaws we’re too pained to see
Our own greed, the fear we won’t succeed
Our own lack of creed, the fact that we bleed
Numb it with weed, with chemical comfort
Til all that’s left is the dull hurt that no substance can avert
The knowledge that the only possible solution in our search for absolution
Is to turn in the other direction and face our own reflections
Translucent complexions, cadavers open for dissection
We opt for lethal injection over revealing introspection
Overdosing into oblivion until we can erase original sin.
