Panopticon

(album: Iridescent - 2021)

Panopticon!

Analog heart flat-lined and digitized
A shell for a skull and a body to commodify
Under the light we survive inside this between
But we lose ourselves and retreat to screens
Retreat to screens, retreat to screens!

They see all but we see one

Shut down the system
Burn away the veil
What waits? A face behind a face behind a face
Reverse the network
Burn away the veil
And you'll find a face behind a face behind a face

The culture is charged, amplified, then polarized
But our nerves are dulled and our souls lobotomized
We sleep with pixels in a dream machine
But we lose ourselves and retreat to screens
Retreat to screens, retreat to screens!

Shut down the system
Burn away the veil
What waits? A face behind a face behind a face
Reverse the network
Burn away the veil
And you'll find a face behind a face behind a face

Unto us a program is born Holy Virus
Taker of the Earth!
