"Distraction" lyrics
(The Amazing Digital Circus Song)
The bread is moldy and the circuses are boring
I'm not buying what you're selling me
The files are corrupted and we've ignored every warning
Despite what you've been telling me
I'm sick and tired of this useless charade
If anyone can hear me, do you feel the same?
No more adventures in this stupid parade
Please, read between the lines, when I say
It's a distraction
All the nightmares that are happening right before your eyes are just a fraction
Of the truth behind the abstractions
Try not to lose your mind
When you realize
What truly lies
Behind
This distraction
You crack a joke about the fact of the matter
You're right where they want you to be
Participating like a good little robot
Getting hard to tell who's an NPC
Stuck in a prisoner's dilemma forever
How can I tell, if you've been compromised?
I bet you're thinking the same damn thing now
So, how do we cut through the lies when
It's a distraction?
All the nightmares that are happening right before our eyes are just a fraction
Of the truth behind the abstractions
Try not to lose our mind
When we realize
What truly lies
Behind
This distraction
I've lost my voice
In a sea of noise
The static has been telling me I'm paranoid
I have become just a ghost in the machine
I have no mouth and I must scream
It's a distraction
All the nightmares that are happening right before our eyes are just a fraction
Of the truth behind the abstractions
Try not to lose our mind
When we realize
What truly lies
Behind
This distraction
All the nightmares that are happening right before your eyes are just a fraction
Of the truth behind the abstractions
Fuck it. Who cares?
I'm not buying what you're selling me
The files are corrupted and we've ignored every warning
Despite what you've been telling me
I'm sick and tired of this useless charade
If anyone can hear me, do you feel the same?
No more adventures in this stupid parade
Please, read between the lines, when I say
It's a distraction
All the nightmares that are happening right before your eyes are just a fraction
Of the truth behind the abstractions
Try not to lose your mind
When you realize
What truly lies
Behind
This distraction
You crack a joke about the fact of the matter
You're right where they want you to be
Participating like a good little robot
Getting hard to tell who's an NPC
Stuck in a prisoner's dilemma forever
How can I tell, if you've been compromised?
I bet you're thinking the same damn thing now
So, how do we cut through the lies when
It's a distraction?
All the nightmares that are happening right before our eyes are just a fraction
Of the truth behind the abstractions
Try not to lose our mind
When we realize
What truly lies
Behind
This distraction
I've lost my voice
In a sea of noise
The static has been telling me I'm paranoid
I have become just a ghost in the machine
I have no mouth and I must scream
It's a distraction
All the nightmares that are happening right before our eyes are just a fraction
Of the truth behind the abstractions
Try not to lose our mind
When we realize
What truly lies
Behind
This distraction
All the nightmares that are happening right before your eyes are just a fraction
Of the truth behind the abstractions
Fuck it. Who cares?
