The Artificial

Who are you to think you can imitate foolishness
For the world when you’re handed the crown
Dishing out lies to an open crowd
With every word you speak, they follow with altered conception
Pursuing you as a power of some sort
From within you have no direction

Masses choke on the scripts you have been force feeding them
When there’s nothing left to lay them to rest, they’re driven to the end

The artificial backed by an army of apathy, basking in glory
Stories they’re forcing down the throats of those who believe
With lies they’re preaching

You have no face in my eyes, no true light to show anyone
I hope they see what I see, just a dark and empty fake
Dark and empty fake
Dark and empty fake

Constructing empires of lies that will crumble in time
Fate will come to bury you whole once you lose control

The artificial backed by an army of apathy, basking in glory
Stories they’re forcing down the throats of those who believe
With lies they’re preaching

When they find the key that will unlock your identity
No one will follow or live in your shadow now

I hope they see what I see, just a dark and empty fake
