I'm tired of being weighed down
By expectations
Built up by a world
In fear of condemnation
Free will is replaced
With the will to freely obey
Yeah it's a contradiction
But it keeps revolutions at bay
Cuz we're brought up craving structure
It's in our making
Sure we test our limits
With no intention of breaking
The bind
Which has a firm grasp on our mind
We fool ourselves into thinking
Society and structure can coincide
We'd rather live questioning
All that is around us
Afraid to jump and swim
Cuz our common sense might drown us
All we know is derived from what we hear
So how would we function if we cut off our ears
Afraid to listen to our own voices
Society tells us we can't hear
Our perception is hazy
We've gotten lazy
Why use our eyes
When we can listen to what we see
Aware it doesn't make sense
But neither does reality
We take the easy route
Leading straight to our demise
Slavery has resurfaced
We allowed it to rise
Feeding into it's foolish games
Now we're the ones in it's harmless chains
The burden on our backs
Bears our custom caskets
We faithfully await the day
That we can climb in and latch it
Sealing our fate
Our destruction has decided
It's past the date
So we sit back and try to compensate
