"The World We Claim" lyrics

Perfect timing to address the public
That's empathetic, thoughtful, and profound
Thank you for your open letter hot takes
When the lights turn on, we know you'll be around

Attention spans inches not feet
Clever, deceptive
Convincing they processed the message
And proudly take their bows center stage

Repent for what you've done
Like you're born again
Relieving the heat from your chest
Your records spin till the grooves too thin
Throwing your voice like a whisper in the wind

Strung out chaperones overseeing what fits and what hits
Lust goes sliding by in plain sight
I can see the sweat drip, you watch them fuck like dogs, but you'd never want to tag in
Salivating, peeking through the door

It's all how the narrative gleams
Publicists spreading the message
Ensuring you meant it
Curtain comes flying up, they scream your name

Wrought performance, give em hell
The stage is yours if you had guts to spill
And I'm the whore for every hanging word
You fuck me blind with how you see our world
You're right, I'm wrong
I should've spoken up, screamed so loud my tonsils rot
Righteous little criers crush their lungs

Your records spin but do you every really listen in?
