Compelled to consume

A need to satisfy the urge

Desire to meet

A translucent expectation

Hooked into the grid

A stream of never-ending images

Convincing the world

The way they want us to all be

Breaking you down

With messages designed to feed into

Subconscious fears and insecurities

We got what you need

To fill the never-ending void

The hole in your soul

That you're unable to avoid

Compelled to consume

Driven to obey

Haunted by desire

Staggering in dismay

Compelled to consume

Driven to obey

Haunted by desire

Staggering in dismay

Staggering in dismay

Flashing images of perfection

Something you can never achieve

Desperate emptiness burns inside of you

Searching

Endless agony

Deaf, dumb, dead, and blind

Years of reception have programmed your mind

Buying, selling, begging for time

Searching for happiness you cannot

Buy

Succumb to daily pressures

To meet the status quo

Resources exhausted

Plugged in, tuned out, turned on, switched off

We are

Your overseers

The unseen masters

Of every want

Desire

Born

And then you die

And in between

You live the life of a lie

Thrown

Into a sea

Of discontent

Left to drown

Compelled to consume

Driven to obey

Haunted by desire

Staggering in dismay

Compelled to consume

Driven to obey

Haunted by desire

Staggering in dismay
