Tyrannos

Perpetuating misconceptions detrimental to reality

Progressive illness overlooked in favour of brutality

Promoting violence in men, a dark denial of morality

Lethality becomes legality, a sickening mentality

We’re proud to see

A self-made man with his own life

Smothering his strife by isolating his wife 

She undergoes the knife to a conform to a norm

Our maddened society has formed

Brush mental illness under the carpet

Blame crime on terrorism – our nation is a target!

We farm it, the agriculture of aggression

Emotions are weakness, strength is repression

We command our own oppression

Violating our own free will through the power of suggestion

Drown your sorrows in this liquor, it’ll make your skin thicker

Use some prescription pills as mixer

A homemade remedy for all the flaws we’re too pained to see

Our own greed, the fear we won’t succeed

Our own lack of creed, the fact that we bleed

Numb it with weed, with chemical comfort

Til all that’s left is the dull hurt that no substance can avert

The knowledge that the only possible solution in our search for absolution

Is to turn in the other direction and face our own reflections

Translucent complexions, cadavers open for dissection

We opt for lethal injection over revealing introspection

Overdosing into oblivion until we can erase original sin.
