lyrics

[Chorus - Easlern]
Destroy yourself
Don't let 'em take it all
Strike the match
Before they suck your soul

[Verse 1 - Bloo Burds]
Our generation is not a nation
The notion of conflating us with them’s an abomination
Inflation: the theory that everyone around me
Is full of hot air
We all sleepwalk, make no mistake
That’s why when you die they call it a wake
You work nine to five, so that you could buy the dreams that they sell
All the dreams that you buy gather dust on the shelf
What do terrorists and corporations have in common?
They both commit murder in the name of a profit
One spills blood, the other ambition
They both share a goal: that’s to beat us to submission
Will you listen? You wonder why we always lose
We avert our eyes; they watch our every move
Entertainment in a movie is disturbing in the news
We prefer the lie; so they cover up the truth

[Chorus - Easlern]
Destroy yourself
Don't let 'em take it all
Strike the match
Before they suck your soul

[Verse 2 - Bloo Burds]
We are not free; freedom is a concept
Meant to appease, as long as you believe that you’re free
You’re a slave to your own mind
We are not men, we are dronekind
We’re addicted to patterns, rinse and repeat
We’re addicted to patterns, rinse and repeat
We are taught that death is to be feared
It’s wrong to be weird
Melt into the crowd, let yourself disappear
What is rhyme? Rhyme is comfort
The antithesis to chaos, keeping time, that is rhythm
Constraints, melody, never go between the lines
Harmony, let’s pretend that we’re alike
Company, let’s pretend we’re not alone
Luxury, let’s pretend that they don’t own
Our identities, what is destiny?
Destiny is the religion of the enemy

[Chorus - Easlern x2]
Destroy yourself
Don't let 'em take it all
Strike the match
Before they suck your soul
