Dissent

Division of the lonely
Keep it down or you’ll be
cast out with the rest
Uncovering it slowly
Let it trickle out, it’s
too much to digest
Oh, consensus of the angry
Burn it down, I hear them
beating on their chest
Why is it so unholy
to be skeptical of
narratives they inject?
Hear me now, we don’t allow dissent
Guilty until proven innocent
Hear me now, we don’t allow dissent
(We don’t allow dissent)
Guilty until proven innocent
(Don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
Take shots at orthodox
I disagree
They’re onto you, they’re onto me
Take shots at orthodox
I disagree
They’re onto you, they’re onto me
Oh, opinions of the phony,
breaking down to pieces
when put to the test
I wish somebody told me
to have faith in instinct
under all the mess
Hear me now, we don’t allow dissent
(We don’t allow dissent)
Guilty until proven innocent
(Don’t allow dissent)
Hear me now, we don’t allow dissent
(We don’t allow dissent)
Guilty until proven innocent
(Don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)
(We don’t allow dissent)

“Asch’s experiment is a classic
It reveals how people will deny what they see
and submit to group pressure
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right”
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
“Sometimes we go along with the group
because what they say convinces us they are right
But sometimes we conform because we are apprehensive
that the group will disapprove if we are deviant
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right
They must be right”
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind

Monument
05:22
|

Leaking, one drop at a time,
down to the floor and up to my eyes
Wash me in a basin of lies,
in through my ears and out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
Cast your wary eyes
(wary eyes)
to the monument
of our hopes and fears
Tale as old as time,
(old as time)
full of discontent
Is it over yet?
Fading
(Fading)
Wasting away
(Wasting away)
Ripen the peel
(Ripen the peel)
Gentle decay
(Gentle decay)
Make me
(Make me)
Fickle as fate
(Fickle as fate)
Broken design
(Broken design)
Fixed in your ways
(Fixed in your ways)
And out of my mind
And out of my mind
Cast your wary eyes
(wary eyes)
to the monument
of our hopes and fears
Tale as old as time,
(old as time)
full of discontent
Is it over yet?
Cast your wary eyes
(wary eyes)
to the monument
of our hopes and fears
Tale as old as time,
(old as time)
full of discontent
Is it over yet?

Wonderful
04:32
|

|
All the colors have run dry,
in a constant state of fading
Desaturating
All the hues escape my eyes
Is it just a sign of aging?
Disengaging?
Everything is wonderful
Everything is wonderful
Everything is wonderful
Everything
Everything is wonderful
Everything is wonderful
Everything is wonderful
Everything
Will you watch me as I burn?
I’ll try my best to control it
or outgrow it
Will my gratitude return?
It’s been so long, will I know it
when I feel it?
Everything is wonderful
Everything is wonderful
Everything is wonderful
Everything
Everything is wonderful
Everything is wonderful
Everything is wonderful
Everything
