Flip the Table, Flip the Script
Please, I hear my creativity plead
I don't want to go, I need
To show you more than the comforting glow you crave
Can't you see they've made you a slave
A distracted man obeys
The way they want, but I want you to see
I feel my creativity scream
Why can't you let me feed?
There's more to life than the placating glow you crave
Can't you see they've made you ashamed?
A distracted man behaves
The way they want you
Resist and traverse the gaping void
Laced, fingers replace
My face while they cradle, my head as it aches
Please, I beg you to take heed
Not to feed the machine
It only grows stronger, through every regime
I'll reach inside my mind, unplug all those cables
That kept me alive
That made me comply
I lost my voice in an electric haze
Plugged in, tuned out, sacrificial
I can't survive this world of the jaded
Envy and hatred never falter
I will crawl out
I will wake up now
I will crawl out
All my dreams
Fade in the light
As I open my eyes.
So pretty, so fake
It's okay, I like it better that way
Lean and smile
Focus on me
Lean in close
You're picture perfect
Lean and smile
Focus on me
Lean in close
You're picture perfect
I, will deny
What's designed to dull my mind
I am alive
I flip the table then I flip the script
No, won't sink below
I need to know, how low they'll stoop to go
I flip the table then I flip the script
Fate is just the paint
I can create, with some faith in me
I flip the table then I flip the script
I won't be denied
I am inside
Everything
I don't want to go, I need
To show you more than the comforting glow you crave
Can't you see they've made you a slave
A distracted man obeys
The way they want, but I want you to see
I feel my creativity scream
Why can't you let me feed?
There's more to life than the placating glow you crave
Can't you see they've made you ashamed?
A distracted man behaves
The way they want you
Resist and traverse the gaping void
Laced, fingers replace
My face while they cradle, my head as it aches
Please, I beg you to take heed
Not to feed the machine
It only grows stronger, through every regime
I'll reach inside my mind, unplug all those cables
That kept me alive
That made me comply
I lost my voice in an electric haze
Plugged in, tuned out, sacrificial
I can't survive this world of the jaded
Envy and hatred never falter
I will crawl out
I will wake up now
I will crawl out
All my dreams
Fade in the light
As I open my eyes.
So pretty, so fake
It's okay, I like it better that way
Lean and smile
Focus on me
Lean in close
You're picture perfect
Lean and smile
Focus on me
Lean in close
You're picture perfect
I, will deny
What's designed to dull my mind
I am alive
I flip the table then I flip the script
No, won't sink below
I need to know, how low they'll stoop to go
I flip the table then I flip the script
Fate is just the paint
I can create, with some faith in me
I flip the table then I flip the script
I won't be denied
I am inside
Everything
