"Parasocial Christ" lyrics

Rise and kill the time
Torrid voices and nepotism
Lost between the lines
In a faulty mechanism

You can walk away but your self-worth is tied up in someone else
You're all-in on a hollow asset
Just empty pages in a glowing casket
A no-substance plan, a masked fused to you that's begun to melt
Infected viral metric racket
Another fool lining up to catch it

Rise and kill the time

Fall into the brine
A pathetic hunt for recognition
Pay to do the crime
In a struggle for position

Down, but you're too afraid to climb out 'cause you never wanna face yourself
So, lay your neck right beneath the hatchet
Another victim of the social habit
A wide open scam, you lose to the ruse, perpetuation of wealth
All your bets in a losing racket
They raise the bid then refuse to match it

Rise and kill the time

Parasocial Christ
Chaotic appetite
Anxious and short of breath
Neurotic and bereft
Parasocial Christ

Rise and kill the time

Servant to distraction
Vacant interactions
Paralyzed reaction
Kill the time
