lyrics

Welcome to the panopticon

Take a look around

Tell me what do you see?
A hundred different faces looking back at you
Through your screen
Spreading viral like a disease

The impossibility of hope
The eyes say no to what you’ll never know
The lost anonymity of
Our once naive purity

Your freedom is gone
Inside the panopticon

You can’t feel alive
When life has no price
How do you know you’re real
When all you know you cannot feel?

You can only see

Capital conformity
With no boundary
The inevitability of the
Endlessly driven to succeed

Eyes pinned open with the nails of greed
A leech draining the jealous and the weak
A desperate cry for anyone to
See the price tag on a eulogy

Your freedom is gone
Inside the panopticon

You can’t feel alive
When life has no price
How do you know you’re real
When all you know you cannot feel?


All your hopes, all your dreams and all you want to be
Don’t even come close to what you’ve already seen
Everything that means you want be alive
Is a generated target stamped into your eye

Surrounded by eyes
Surrounded by lies
Judged by all sides
What does it even mean to be alive?

Your freedom is gone
Inside the panopticon

You can’t feel alive
When life has no price
How do you know you’re real
When all you know you cannot feel?
