Plug me into my hopes and desires
I am lost in this chaos
Coldly you articulate the norm
Agendas hidden under the radiance

Put them in the box
But poke some holes
They're no good to you dead
Except for in the head

It's in your best interest
To maintain stagnant equilibrium
They can't know they are actually in control
So disperse your mind patrol

Tag the hook with sexy bait
You've trained them to bite
Classical conditioning at it's finest
Bash it in until it's all they know

The beast is fixated on shadows
In that murky cave
With your artificial light source
They know not the difference, they are your slave

You're a master at isolation
The cave dwellers steer from outsiders
And will tell them they are insane
For how could they find happiness
In apparent nothingness?
