Born into a chaos
Just simple flesh and bone
And governed by the hourglass
Deciding on the future known
As every willing mortal
Contracted to the grave
Will sacrifice their life to be enslaved
Endless noise til time is done
A narcissistic Babylon
Blank expressions lost beyond
A wall of screens that
Pacify, yet sell a lie
Devices on in efforts to engage
I wonder why I’m seeing blind
Am I just not a number in a cage
I wanna be the one
I wanna be the one
A solitary sun that burns
Eternally connected
In virtual defeat
Engrossed by almost nothing
In a world of value incomplete
The mind is ever hungry
For superficial fare
Denied the pixels, then you see despair
New goliaths scream and shout
These non authentic guttermouth’s will have their say
As empty as the heads that turn their way
Reverberating parasites
That manifest solution for the age
I wanna be the one
I gotta be the one
Now the moment’s come
A brand new dawn
Am I a robot compliant in human skin ?
Among the masses not defiant Just obey to win
Who are we to question what they say ?
They’re on the prowl
Beware the signs of all the satellites
A termination of the freedom that you had before
The lights and sirens found your hiding place
Few will ever heed my cautionary tale
Another modern diatribe
The critics like to shout and wail
I’m heading off the radar
Off grid for peace of mind
Be assured there’s nothing left behind
I had to be the one
The man to cut and run
No longer be among this world undone
I wanna be the one a solitary sun
Forever gone
