Distractions
Set on our path
Then led astray
Forever wander life away
Every image
Every sound
Distraction chains to which we're bound
We spend our time
On scenes and screens
On apps, and tweets, and drama queens
And broken dreams
Are what we buy
Then sell the ones that we let die
We fill our heads
With smoke and air
I swear it's like there's nothing there
Your brain
Your choice
But I prefer to use my voice
To bring distractions
To their knees
By curing apathy's disease
Where'd it come from?
Where'd it go?
We're never really meant to know
It's all just fed
To hungry fools
The fullest bellies make the rules
Convincing us
That hope is lost
The price of life's increasing cost
Hypnotized
Under their spell
Consumerism prison cell
So find the key
To leave this place
Free of distractions you embrace
