Mass Consumption feat. Bajka

from Trapped in a World Behind My Eyelids by BadKat

/

about

The tangled web of consumption, it's downside, influences and effects.

lyrics

The game of life, a masquerade of good and evil
A trivial pursuit amongst the angels and the demons
Selling fools gold whenever knowledge is the secret
That's why so many working hard to keep it
The message has been leaking through subway tunnels and back streets
Back room parlor games and back woods half speak
That's deep - quietly the mass lulled to sleep
While the master's awake counting sheep
The future looks bleak reminded while I quietly observe
How the present leaves the past undisturbed, but not in reverse
Don't want to make the situation worse but it's a fact that sometimes the truth hurts
Like why we've got the projects or why we're treating people like objects
Passing over love for better prpspects - stop changing the topic
You had the ball but you dropped it - left the flight plan up to the cockpit
Look into my optics, see what I see, where I've been
The path of enlightem´nment's within - Their goal is to win
My goal is to roll like the wind - flow through the soul like a hymn (amen)
Spirit unlocked like a monstor, unlocking the thoughts that'll haunt ya
One last cilantia - mortality a fate that'll taunt ya
Have you falling back on your haunches
No room for the weak when the guise of morality is preached
And the bitter's getting mixed with the sweet
Like salt on a peach - More for you to squeeze in your cheeks
While the self gets lost underneath
So let me speak with my def tone, reach into your headroom
Search the four corner 'for you fortify the headstone
Teach when they dead wrong, seek where the lights shown
Peace can be found where the beats and the mics on
No doubt about it, this is how its going down
You could try to go around it but just end up getting clowned
Turn off the radio but don't eliminate the sound
Lace up your runners, don't wait for them to show you how
Time and time again, this is how it's turning out
If the blind are leading the blind, we need new leaders now.
