Gaslight Town

The world is rendered black and white
Can't see the shades in fading light
They're in a dark and broken town
In a land that's been burned down

Turn on the gaslights
Turn on the gaslights
Building alt-truth brick by brick
Wall is growing, getting thick

They gather at the county fair
All that's solid melts into air
Hate crawls out and shadows rise
Stoking fires with wishful lies

Turn on the gaslights
Turn on the gaslights
No more truth there's just belief
Science is conspiracy

Weaponized delusion
Their truth is fantasy
Day is night and up is down
They're lost and blind in gaslight town

When their only tool is a gun
They're always scared and on the run
Everywhere they look they see
Imaginary enemies

Turn on the gaslights
Turn on the gaslights
Terror cells embedded deep
Neo-Nazis our police

Weaponized delusion
Their truth is fantasy
Day is night and up is down
They're lost and blind in gaslight town

Turn on the gaslights
Turn on the gaslights
They will burn the world to the ground
Hate's the only life they've found

Weaponized delusion
Their truth is fantasy
Day is night and up is down
They're lost and blind in gaslight town

Drawn into the vortex
Echo chambers sealed
Truth be damned they won't back down
Last stand here in gaslight town

Turn off the gaslights
Turn off the gaslights
Time to leave this town behind
Can you change a poisoned mind
Turn off the gaslights
Turn off the gaslights
