Shackles

Awaken to a world filled of apathy
It's feeding off itself the fear and self-pity
Now your fed lies as truth and still you do not see
The noose around your neck is your complacency.

Slowly posioned by your food
Slowly trained by your own news.

All that you've been lead to believe
Is just to keep you on your knees
You're cling to your shackles
Like an addict clings to their disease.

This is the fruit that's been wrought
Bought and paid for by our silence and ignorance
Begging for scraps as they take everything.

All that you've been lead to believe
Is just to keep you on your knees
You're cling to your shackles
Like an addict clings to their disease.

You've been consumed your fear
Trained to believe what your hear
Complacent while the ignorance breeds
Too afraid to get off of your knees and fight.
