Mass Delusion Lyrics


[Music: Vicinity / Lyrics: Olsen & Lykke]

Is our species past its prime,

or does our breed transcend its time?

We're living in a world that's in full decline

Was there anything to die for?

There's nothing left to strive for,

Endless greed was always our defining line

Why should we care what happens next?

Some have billions, while others are wasting away

The ideal is to care, but we aren't self-aware

Will anything keep our greed at bay?

Will I starve while you are eating?

Is basic lust what is defeating

any common sense that might halt this decline?

All-consuming greed

is ever growing like a weed

Our numbers and our minds can't seem to combine

Why should we care what happens next?

Some have billions, while others are wasting away

The ideal is to care, but we aren't self-aware

Will anything keep our greed at bay?

We're lost without a trace

in oceans of self-deluded praise

We're victims of mass delusion

of those who thrive on mass confusion

Can anything be done to stop our decline?

Contrasts are stark

We're always fumbling in the dark,

when we need to see we have to redefine

Will we wake up some day,

and see what facelessness threw away?

It will watch with despise, as mass delusion dies

Take ine step ahead and open your eyes
