Plague of Objects

Disembodied, our consciousness
 Explodes and fragments, into streams of sleek illusion
 Our ambitions, they intertwine
 Across these wires, where imagery and circuitry conceive your dreams inseparable from mine
 ♪
 One part desire, and one part capital, fuel delusion,
 For all these pointless things we'll never need
 Glaring facades, fade to mirage, coaxing in culture benign
 Hunting for bliss, yet none can exist, where no wit nor wisdom thrives
 Soma-sedate, running in place, dimensions compressing with time
 Dreaming in code, sleeping awake, spiraling into an endless night
 A plague of objects, ephemeral, hallucinations, consensual invite them in
 Feeding online, absent of mind, a chorus of billions thrive
 Drifting away, cascade and fade, where desire comes pre-made
 Click and delete, end and repeat, no world beyond that door
 Troll and evade, lurk and persuade, the worst you'll find's an error 404
 A plague of objects, ephemeral, hallucinations, consensual
 Invite them in
 Let them build your castles in the air
 ♪
 Through deserts dry hypnotic, the dreams of man will crawl
 Parched with thirst and dying, into waiting corporate claws
 Youth flows here forever, from fountains spewing terabytes
 Why believe in heaven, when all that's solid melts to air in life?
