Alter Memory

When there's nothing to rebel against
When we can’t see beyond the obvious
We’re falling victim to shortsighted social constructs
Break’em down to the essential

Now take a good look and see
Claim the moral high ground and set yourselves up for the fall
Our public discourse poisoned by self-righteousness
We are so afraid of all that is real
Confirmation bias is all that we seek

You’re caught inside the echo chamber
Forge ahead as the leader of movement
As I try to free myself of this delusion by entering a new state of revolt
These dead letters pass for a better solution
So we’re just as guilty as our fellow man

Nothing but fact resistant beliefs
A statute of emotion not thought
I can no longer stand this complacency
As I cut off this nefarious stream of words
For in this debate there’s no place for reason or logic
All hidden in self re-assurance
No normative sense of self

You’re caught inside the echo chamber
Forge ahead as the leader of movement
As I try to free myself of this delusion by entering a new state of revolt
These dead letters pass for a better solution
So we’re just as guilty as our fellow man
