Caught in the System - Aversions Crown

The vanity of the desire of the will

So selfish and entitled

Living life possessed by a digital screen

That connects us to each other

But reveals the unseen

We’re addicted to the phantom feeling

A ghost of the digital wasteland

We get lost in the phantom feeling

Given unreal expectations of the world

Resulting in your vain imaginings

Caught in the system

A social prison

Like a rat in a box

Do you see the resemblance

Fall deeper

Into the egotistical sea

So misunderstood

And full of conceit

Impractical standards

Mental fractures

Damage inflicted

Creating the resistance

Put a filter on life

Distort the original image

No longer reality

A narcissistic society

We’re addicted to the phantom feeling

A ghost of the digital wasteland

We get lost in the phantom feeling

The sensation of the lost and brain dead

You are not special

You are owed nothing

This world will eat you alive

You will not be spared

You are not prepared

Caught in the system

A social prison

Like a rat in a box

Do you see the resemblance

Fall deeper

Into the egotistical sea

So misunderstood

And full of conceit

This life is ruthless

Everyone is to blame

It will tear you apart

Unless you conform to a system created

To cause physical and mental harm

It’s no surprise to see

That there’s no difference

Between you and me

We all fall victim

And become a prisoner

To our vanity

The phantom feeling

Is always there
