The Cage - Disfear

Dogmas put on podiums

Swallow blind the bait

Prime-time advertised, prostitution

In darkness we hibernate

Depravity will take human form

Let self-destruction be the norm

We will not know the end

We will all be numb by then

Collective destructive behaviour

Precise and clean self-mutilation

Soft skin, hardened surgical scars

Methadone addiction

Recreational narcotics

Balanced and controlled

No reflection in the mirror

The cage inside us all

Apathy, the sharpest weapon

A respect built on abuse

So thin, so transparent

Brought up on diet truth

Painted up in weekend bliss

So afraid of what we might miss

Comfort or freedom, you can’t have both

Sharpen the knives, go for their throats

Collective destructive behaviour

Precise and clean self-mutilation

Soft skin, hardened surgical scars

Methadone addiction

Recreational narcotics

Balanced and controlled

No reflection in the mirror

The cage inside us all

Apathy, the sharpest weapon

A respect built on abuse

So thin, so transparent

Brought up on diet truth

The longer we dwell on in silence

The less that we question ourselves

The next generation, our children

Will have no rights left to protect

Collective destructive behaviour

Precise and clean self-mutilation

Soft skin, hardened surgical scars

Methadone addiction

Recreational narcotics

Balanced and controlled

No reflection in the mirror

Unseen, expendable

The cage inside us all
