millennial pow

Ice cold hand of your newest enemy
 Smell the fear as the bodies grow sweaty
 The strongest god is the deity of the petty
 In the pantheon of isolated passions
 He wins
 For the city sings its prayers to him
 With every silent prejudice
 And every warm smiling bias
 The sky turns heavy and humorless
 We're redefining our sentience
 In the golden age of loneliness
 And you think you're doing it,
 You're doing it, you're doing it right
 And then like freshly opened eyes
 Exposed to broad day light
 s this feeling or convincing?
 Or is my gut misleading
 All control is an illusion
 And all compassion is a drug
 Smile on drip
 Pull the goddamn plug
 Long live the cult of thug, amen
 I'm walking down the streets of Los Emptiness
 I step over the ghost of hope still restless
 And you think you're doing it
 You're doing it, you're doing it right
 You keep your mind tight
 To keep the mood light
 Don't let yourself show
 Don't let the others know
 It's all just pretend
 My greatest friend
 Is a black box
 In the golden age
 Of loneliness
 In a world where men become demons
 And women into witches
 All realness is fleeting
 How easily it all switches
 With great overtures of friendship
 That don't mean shit
 When you're about to be somebody else's meal ticket
 And the irony is that it feeds the leech
 That keeps us out of reach
 You can not teach
 The broken glass on the beach
 Set to lacerate
 The heavy soles of fate
 And you think you're doing it
 You're doing it, you're doing it right
 You keep your mind tight
 To keep the mood light
 Don't let yourself show
 Don't let the others know
 It's all just pretend
 My greatest friend
 Is a black box
 In the golden age
 Of loneliness
 Let's go
 Just when you thought it was safe to be alone
 Just when you thought it was safe to be alone
 Just when you thought it was safe to be alone
 Just when you thought it was safe to be alone
 My greatest friend
 Is a black box
 In the golden age
 Of loneliness
