Caught in the System

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
