- so we're betrayed.
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 attempt to leave the dance,
invisibly suppressed.
Questions unasked, we learn 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 deceptable.
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 nescient 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.
