Dogma demonizing discourse Data drowning in indoctrination Painting devils on unknown faces A closed mind birthing our disgraces We bend light to fit in our spectrum We belittle the strength of our venom We mutilate truth Design divided youth Erode the structure of introspection A hive is hell for individuality Conform to the norm of modern mentality Insanity just the absence of normality Conformity in lieu of simple rationality Might your misery wake you yet A solemn cry joins the aggregate Morph into this mass of malice That cowers before a doctrinal palace We can't live with ourselves so we bow To the will of the tyrants we allow To the scriptures that silence our conviction Defeat in the sweet embrace of fiction We are worthless, pathetic, weak We mourn the world that we used to seek Defeatists demanding a higher will Reality is a bitter pill Reality is a bitter fucking pill Lie to yourselves until you've had your fill Reality is a bitter pill Might your misery wake you yet A solemn cry joins the aggregate Morph into this mass of malice That cowers before a doctrinal palace As long as there is doubt there is hope we'll learn But hope is a salve on a burning world The steps we take to prove the truths we know Will take us to a space where we'll never grow Might your misery wake you yet A solemn cry joins the aggregate Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth More than ruin, more even than death Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible Thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habits Thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man
