Venom

Watching the world eat itself alive
The fingers are pointed, but who is to blame?
We reach for the only light we see
But there are those who wish to keep it for themselves
I'm sick of living my life through a screen
When did fifteen minutes become six seconds?
Restart. I think we've seen enough
Hyperbole and ignorance will reign supreme

This is the only way I know to get this off my chest
We stand in defiance to the ones who think they know what's best
The leaders, the stars, the masses... I condemn them
Is it any wonder why I'm so full of venom?

And you will feel the poison

Even if we attempt to make some progress
It's undermined, undercut, swept under the rug
The ones who wish to make the change are vilified
And the ones who cast their stones won't budge for anyone
I'm sick of the plastic that's melting every day
It doesn't seem like we'll get anything accomplished
The prayers don't help and neither do the screams
On the other hand, your rage is poorly worded

This is the only way I know to get this off my chest
We stand in defiance to the ones who think they know what's best
The leaders, the stars, the masses... I condemn them
Is it any wonder why I'm so full of venom?

Everything we know is everything you fear
Everything we know is everything you fear
Everything we know is everything you fear
Everything we know is everything you fear

If you're here to undo the work of the optimists, then you are public enemy number one

This is the only way I know to get this off my chest
We stand in defiance to the ones who think they know what's best
The leaders, the stars, the masses... I condemn them
Is it any wonder why I'm so full of venom?

And you will feel the poison
