Conspiracy Of None

(album: Complete Control - 2022)

Each day here, an evisceration
Dragged down into immiseration
And there's no one left exonerated
One and all held entranced by this alchemy of fear

In the grip, in the vise
In the coldest margins
Life exists and persists
With no hope nor hallowed shred of human grace

Outside, there's a world that waits for me
One steeped and full of parasites
A plot to defame
They whisper out my name
Outside, there's a world that's come undone
Open the door, conspiracy of none

Conspiracy of none
When one and one make three, conspiracy of none
In cryptic codes, they speak
Masterminding globally, conspiracy of none

Trace the codes, between the lies, behind the star-crossed chaos
Like a snake, they unwind, coils ever-twisting
Like a "theory" sparked from nothing but a joke
Save your "truths", these deaf ears are immune
Remedies for unwashed minds
Hidden aims and secret signs
Arguments dissolve, conspiracy of none

Conspiracy of none
When one and one make three, conspiracy of none
In cryptic codes they speak
Soon, we all will scream, "Conspiracy"

None

Propagate the paranoid precept
Reify and glorify the myth, go
There's no truth
Only deceit
Panoptic eyes around me, watching all

As the world slips into mass suspicion
Threads come undone and the order falters
And there's no one left exonerated
One and all held entranced by fear
