Illusions dance in the fading light
Of a listless, winding regression
Distractions from their course of action
Never changing, never fading
Forever demanding compliance
Captivated by the daunting gaze
Of the static waves
It manifests my fears, whispers in my ear
Telling me everything is okay
A windowless refuge
An omniscient light
Is the true bane
Of this delicate plight
Self preservation
False condemnation
All put to fame
By this incandescent light
Sleep, sleep
Captivated by the daunting gaze
Of the static waves
It manifests my fears, whispers in my ear
Telling me everything is okay
Blinded by the veil, this dark shroud of breath
It crawls down my neck
I'm trying to break away, but I can't escape
While I'm fueling my atrophy
We are merely receivers
Slaves to our perception
Bound to those who control
Deceptive transmissions
Can't look away
Entranced by the waves
As I'm here fading away
Isolation lingers
Attempting to conceal me
As my sight begins to fade
My soul is buried
And sanity slowly drifts away
Convincing me it's the only way
Deprivation aids us
In turning empathy to hate
