Ideals Flawed Deceive myself Pre-tense of composure Can’t help you now Won't help you now (Won’t help you) Why can’t they see me? Why can’t they see (Why can’t they see me?) Quixotic Illusion Autonomous Living (artificial) I cannot be (I cannot be) Believe I’m free (I’m not free) Ideals Flawed Deceive myself Pre-tense of composure Can’t help you now Won't help you now (Won’t help you) Ideals Flawed Deceive myself Pre-tense of composure Can’t help you now Won't help you now (Won’t help you) Apperceive Reprogram my thoughts Unchanging entities Can’t help you now Won't help you now (Won’t help you)

Distractions bought with lives the cost, a deafening toll. Wear out the crowds, so we won't see them build the walls. Trapped in the daze of constant shifting camera lens Now there’s a torch, a burning sign that this must end. Concealing hate Through suppressed truth Distorted minds A momentary glimpse And then back out of view A mounting pressure To stand tall Condemn, no discipline We say we wanted change But don't fight in the end Generations of horror, all on display Take all the time you need, You can't sense the urgency Derived from ignorance, a monument stands tall Ignorance is bliss, until you finally see Concealing hate Through suppressed truth Distorted minds A momentary glimpse And then back out of view A mounting pressure To stand tall Condemn, no discipline We say we wanted change But don't fight in the end You say you want it all to end Break it down Condemn no discipline A final let down You say you want it all to end Break it down We say we want change And now’s our chance.

Apathy Noise 03:02
A misgiven thought leads to my own delay A breach in defenses the army is on its way Here they come Ah Ah Ah Ahhh Visceral fear and a conflict of mind Wasting of tears, and another excuse to lie Wandering down the rabbit hole Let’s fall down Between the cracks there’s a Whole other world I know If I can find it Before it takes me Here they come Take me... Apathy taking control of me now I’ve fallen in place Don’t know what I should do Blank expressions are faked in this blind masquerade I don’t know what to say I don’t know what to think Anxiety, you say it's all in my head I don't know what you want I don't want to be me Apathy taking control of me now I’ve fallen in place Don’t know what I should do Trapped in Trapped in this moment a prelude to vexations of life Caught in Caught in this labyrinth of disput-ing thoughts in my mind Unravelling, my thoughts are all on display Picturesque world, where the people all walk away Walk away

Reflect here in our current state Life is in retrograde-------------------------- Is this it? ᴵˢ ᵗʰᶦˢ ᶦᵗˀ Vile aspirations reign Did we think that things could change? Distort the truth with lens of rage Can you give me space? Hold on. Can’t you wait? Contortion of my mental state? Like it’s glass about to break Time, is an impatient friend. Suddenly you are at your end Mutilation is the trend I want it to begin again I tried Archaic monuments of hate Take your time, I never change Illusions of morality an endless daydream Give me a moment, please just a moment I just can’t take it, I do not need this Give me a moment, give me a moment Ok? Hold on, can’t you wait? Contortion of my mental state? Like it’s glass about to break Time, is an impatient friend Suddenly you are at your end Mutilation is the trend I want it to begin again I lied
