Neurosis
Album • 1990
I know what the plan of futures are The cry and the march of shame Crawling to the center of what remains Look for the path to the shelterland Crossing paths, conflicting times Expansion never ending Destruction mind is sending Signals abound around us They plant the seed of fate Creating the undiscovered thought Snapping the eyes to pain Feeding, eating, bleeding, seeing Healing to be broken again Standing in the crossfire Burning in the wind Maybe one day you'll see what I see now Step to the front the falling is today

Sacrifice your security Sell your identity, integrity Give till it hurts, give some more, give it all away Sacrifice yourself The choice I made is my own

Do they deal in favors So that time will roll by And that peace will stand still The television denies They keep your life focused on their truth To have their truth they must have your life The illusion of freedom That will blacken your heart's blood And dull your senses Plugged into deception

'Progress' is not progress, it is everlasting destruction Technology is backwards Born of MACHINE Worship MACHINE Slave to MACHINE Become MACHINE Modern civilization, a contradiction in terms In terms of survival Man is made to obey the... Are we nothing but living... MACHINE - a dead hand, it's work expresses death No spirit in it's skeletal framework The falsification of Man, to what end? TO WHAT END? Born of MACHINE Worship MACHINE Slave to MACHINE Become MACHINE Perverted ingenuity of Man Fools, we've lost out earthly wisdom Not the way of nature In a man-made state of disarray

We blame others for the problems That we create for ourselves Too scared to look inward for the fear Of seeing what we see in them Anger Hurt The hidden guilt manifests Neurotic symptoms appear as we hide from the truth A pattern forms and becomes rule Our lives become a host to the parasite Of actions caused by our denial of responsibility Tonight's nightmare is tomorrow's reality You look for betterness in everything you see But poison all hopes of what might be Rewards of compulsion that only satisfy The mental cancer that infects Those who deny What the self reflects Look inside and find the strength To face reality without fear Look to yourself and you will see The evidence is clear

Toiling our lives away We learn to accept the petty rewards that we get From the feudal system of our modern day wage-slavery Setting goals for ourselves that cannot be met Through this system of self-perpetuating misery Always saying yes when we want to say no Because we're committed to our roles of subserviency Living high on stress, pretending that you're unaffected While denying the reality that you're dejected Eraser The eraser Will erase their Will erase your face Face the inevitability of extermination While you sit and passively watch Our earth's contamination Infrequent possibilities will Pacify and rectify the inconsistencies Common good shoved down your throat And the common enemy is common sense

See the suffering of their lives as you pass them by Read about the daily tragedies in the paper Get your depression fix from the T.V. set It's all too real - can you deal with it? Quietly whispered lies of happiness Shouted the truth of being Face the daily tragedies With learned insensitivity Sacrificed souls; preserved sanity

I felt like I was in a cage My body was numb, my head was fixed just right Too sacred to speak for fear of what cuts me like a knife It's a leech on my soul Draining my blood and leaving me cold Left with angry deflections of the feelings I have sold Leaving me cold Weekly bleeding in this factory Takes everything away from me One way out that I can see This is what you have made for me Factory Tied to a cage to slave my life away Openess makes me an easy prey I buy the drugs to kill the pain That this shit causes in my brain Obedience to this tomb to which I was bred Force-fed their lies, I'm choking on what I was fed Destruction fills my head When I wake to this day that I dread.
