From the recording Wither
Lyrics
We’ve primed indoctrination
In a world that would set us free
We’ve cauterized our open eyes and fell into
Regression
So easily forgotten
The furtive man begins to crawl
No faith
The voice begins to speak
Silence, your progress is sickening
No lesson learned
Cadence, of a blinking bloodshot all-seeing eye
Calling me to the deep
Each time plucked by vultures
It’s in our nature
These are the lies that bring me to you
The garden inside my eyes
Ignore the lies they’ll breathe into you
Primitive ways, primitive minds
Where would we be
In a world without sympathy
We cry out our tongues
To be baptized in misery
How bittersweet
Now take my hand and follow me home
These are the lies that bring me to you
The garden inside my eyes
Ignore the lies they’ll breathe into you
Primitive ways, primitive minds
We’ve primed indoctrination
In a world that would set us free
We’ve cauterized our open eyes and fell into
Regression
Silently we’ve opened a door
Defiant, inviting our fates to shore
Bury our promises in fool’s gold
We fell into regression
These are the lies that bring me to you
The garden inside my eyes
Ignore the lies that they breathe
Primitive ways, primitive minds
