The Lifeless Grin -

Dreary haze of sunrise

Greets another day

Endless cycle starts again

Same thing everyday

There’s no deviation

Monotonous routine

Fake your way through days of toil

Fuel the greed machine

Serve those who enslave you and comply with their demands

Silencing all thoughts you must obey

Choose a face to wear, learn to wear it well

Pretend it’s paradise

When you know it’s really hell

The lifeless grin — the mask has made you blind

The lifeless grin — hiding the lie

Comfort in oppression

Submissive and abused

Tangled realms of exploitation

Respite refused

They have you where they want you

The human spirit numb

Feast the pigs, then leave the masses

Fighting for the crumbs

Affliction of misfortune a mental use of force

Poisoned minds wander in a daze

Never question

You don’t need to know

Waiting watching

Time is moving slow

Dying a slow death

With the lifeless drones

Use and abuse you

Stares of mindless clones

Finding comfort

In this slavery

People claw their way

Through this misery

The pointless existence

Now you’re buried alive

Drift through time with no ambition

Submit to the grind

A hell of your own making

Harvesting the soul

Embrace the suffering and hardship

Serve those who control

Exterminate the spirit demoralizing pride

Burn away what little hope remains

Choose a face to wear, learn to wear it well

Pretend it’s paradise

When you know it’s really hell

The lifeless grin — the mask has made you blind

A lifeless grin — hiding the lie
