Reality Constrained Lyrics

Desperate and drowning again
Decay
Chaos
Constant turns
Wandering waters
Of vague variation
My mind abides
The absurd

I flee
Yet I am frozen
Eyes darkened despite the day
Familiar foreign faces ahead
Unfrightened
Facing the dead

Record to preserve the frame
Repeat the pattern
And fabricate
Life
Routine a random interruption
Reality addiction
Lucid but lost
Impose illusion
Ignore the cost

Rule
Habitual act
A gridded map
Trust the tool
Filter the facts
(Same shape retained)
Remold recast
And feign
Invention

Unbound and boundless again
Exchange
Loss
Nothing learned
Wasting through a world
Of disintegration
My mind denies
What’s occurred

I gain
Yet I can’t grasp it
No distance remains the same
Substantial dissolves into mist
Unfastened
Change persists

Submit to suffice as sane
Numbing narcotic
Assimilates
Life
Construct compelling constellations
The real is artificial
Useful but wrong
Supplant thought with groundless gods

Goal
Home to heal
A sacred seal
The wanderer saved
(Shelter attained)
Ingrain the real
And gain
Salvation

Narcissistic games
Cultivate
Freeze, sedate
Propagate

Arranged and deranged again
Enchained
Bound
Freedom yearned
Confusing whirl
Of high definition
My mind derides
Structure

I join
Yet I’m unwelcome
I follow formality
Strange symbols whose sense I resist
Unfocused
On ritual bliss

Connect and joined the enslaved
Chronic enchainment
Automates
Life
Program to avoid apprehension
Order, a nurturing drug
Convenience lies
Decline the digitized anodyne

Toy
An artifact
A molded mask
Censor redact
Sculpture strained
(It can’t contain)
It won’t surpass
Disordered motion

Life won’t slip away
Life can’t slip away
Life won’t slip away
Life has slipped away
Life will slip away
Life must slip away
Life will slip away
Life should slip away
