Methods of Self-Deception Lyrics

The poison of ideals break through the ether
Charging forth, the most tragic examples of man

Dividing lines drawn in sand
Idle mind empowered
Tower mindless in the food chain
Indulge, consume

The mirror's truth, one to truly fear
The crippling weight of profound thought
Blind to tragedies of the world
Affiliation, status is all

This sermon of apathy
The limelight's blatant fiction
Vanity's crown, glowing sharp in the eyes of man
A set of pretentions to soothe the lesser mind

How can we not feel shame over what we've become?
How can we not feel complicit in the world's wrongs?
