Smart boys
Get so annoyed with life.
All thought
Will paralyze your mind.
We will be systematic
We will find your weakness
You will be pacified
With comfort and convenience
And when you get a taste of waste
You’ll want to waste the whole damn thing.
Soft eyes and a softer head
Just to end the suffering.
When you evolve
What do you become?
Are you more than one?
Are you no one?
With technology
I have everything
I am the god you seek
You’ll never question me.
(Accept what you’ve become
Stay down ‘cause we’re keeping you dumb)
Smart girls
Get wasted all the time
Broke down
Used and objectified
Faceless
The masses will imbibe
No thought
Why would you even try?
Your life will melt away
As proof of obsolescence
The upper echelon
Will answer all your questions
And if you get out of line
We’ve got someone to take your place
You’ll sell us all your rights
Until you get erased.
What you want is not relief.
It’s a kick in the teeth.
What do you become?
Burn just like you fucking wanted.
The album packs in interesting arrangements and takes time to try out a few different sounds. Much lighter than my stuff. But that's a good thing sometimes. Collin Kravis
