At the first instance it felt good
I convinced myself I was brave
For a while I wanted to be a part of a bigger picture
It was a picture of immense greatness
It gave me inexplicable joy
Granting me a sense of purpose
For a while I was driven
Everything I did convinced me I was a normal
Functioning part of the society
Surviving on reciting values that upon reflection
Were obviously illusionary
(illusions)
What started as a grand resistance has worn away
And left us with a lake of blood
Devoured by the voice of anger
Devoured by a toxic peer
Devoured by a nameless creature
Devoured
Devoured
By fear
It was theatre
The grand gesture, the moment of choice
The mortal danger, the external foe
The climactic battle whose outcome resolves all
To appear heroic, to excite and gratify
To be applauded and admired
As much as it was good entertainment
You will soon be eaten away by the your choice of drug
To die for the grand resistance
To die for a great idea
Shackle your faith to a gambler
Too blind too blind see clear
Degraded it was, you degraded it more
Spiralling downward do you know what its for
To fight your enemy you needed more men
To fight your enemy you take what you can
To form an army, you formulate lies
To drive the army, you fake your own cries
To feed the army, you kill your own friends
Now with this army you burn all your ends
Now with this army you burn all your ends
Now with this army you burn all your ends
Look in the mirror, all you see is your pain
Look in the mirror, you're covered in shame
Look in the mirror, your illusion is strong
You break the mirror, new evil is born
Explain to me how the fuck we got here?
Explain to me how the fuck we got here?
Do you understand?
Here is the truth
Actual heroism receives no ovation, entertains no one
No one is interested
And soon you become no more than yet another victim
Victim
I started to understand what happened to me
Was dark, evil, and shameful
And by association I too was dark, evil, and shameful
While it may not have been my intention
This was the message my clouded mind received
To escape the confines of these chains
I disassociated myself from my emotions
And numbed myself to the pain ravaging my mind and body
Join now for your own salvation!
Join now for your own salvation!
Pretend we are fighting absolute evil
Pretend it's a grand creature we battled
Any victory we become immediate legends
If we die we all become war heroes
