In Hearts Wake - Hologram lyrics

The earth stood still for a moment Feasting eyes on the feed that was chosen Forcing down a pill deceptive and bitter Fear is gripping the trigger Never struck a chord when the blood flowed From a heart you didn't know Guided to their graves in scarlet chains Engaged, betrayed, collateral slaves Prepare to disembark, butchered in the dark Outgunned, outweighed; no one is safe We're conditioned to be afraid Faceless figures control the game Lips stitched shut speak violence We're conditioned to be afraid Faceless figures we're taught to blame Lips stitched shut speak violence Nothing that you hear And nothing that you see Nothing on the reel Hasn't pa**ed through a screen 1984 in 2016 The earth stood still for a moment Feasting eyes on the feed that was chosen Forcing down a pill deceptive and bitter Fear is gripping the trigger We're conditioned to be afraid Faceless figures control the game Lips stitched shut speak violence We're conditioned to be afraid Faceless figures we're taught to blame Lips stitched shut speak violence Never struck a chord when the blood flowed From a heart you didn't know Never struck a chord when the blood flowed Now your dead friends are a part of the show
