Culture Ruins Everything Around Me Lyrics

Born into violence
Sheltering us
An illusory culture of theft
They steal every breath
Watch as the shadows conquer horizons

For one's progress to thrive another's must cease
Look at how all their affluence screams
As they take it from you
Yeah they take it from you

Power disrupts our will
And shapes the bonds that
Binds us, shape us, feed us
They ultimately blind us
Culture owns you and me

Power for power and deed for debt
Your work is your play, you live with regret
You're weary and sick, your feet in cement
Struggling to breathe, you sink to the depths
Cause they take every breath
Yeah your breath is in debt

As power disrupts our will
And shapes the bonds that
Binds us, shapes us, feeds us
They ultimately blind us
Culture owns you and me

We must tear it down
Just tear it down

Your vision
A herd, deceived
Steered toward oblivion
Foster resistance
Plant the cataracts
In the eyes of the prophets
Leave them blind

Hidden meanings
Revealed
Beneath the page

Deceitful teachings
Cast aside
Nothing remains

My thoughts are automatons
Rendered predictable
My action's consumable
My torment
My despair
My terror

Caught in this web, I'm done
Deep in the fog, I'm lost
Buried alive, I'm gone
Sickness for everyone

Violence adorns these walls
Etched into the insides of my skull

Poison swells within my eyes
Darkened by every falsehood I've been told

Caught in this web, I'm done
Deep in the fog, I'm lost
Buried alive, I'm gone
Born under a callous sun

No you don't understand
You cannot relate to this
Up in a tower you sleep on a pile of bones
But wake up from your deceit
Severed heads will fall

They'll fall

Undo the knots around our culture
Reveal the lies that hide beneath
Tear these structures down

Open up the cage surrounding us
Undone and untamed
To disavow
Exorcising empty crowns

Reclaim ourselves
Disassociate truth
From endless power
Counteract and disrupt
Corrupt constructs
