lyrics

Fabricated phenomenon,
There’s propane in your lungs.
We pumped you full of it & sent you off
Into an ego flooded sky.
Is it worth what it cost us?
Stop it,
These ideas are exhausted.
This earworm is toxic,
It’s making me nauseous.
Obnoxious imposters with harmonic Stockholm syndrome
Captive, host & hostage.
Surrounded by infectious distractions,
Now’s the time for action.
We’ve heard it all before, we’ve been through the motions.
Can you turn it off?
With a balloon on a string I’m floating over the ocean.
Make it stop.
We’ve had enough.
Fabricated phenomenon.
There’s propane in your lungs,
We pumped you full of it & sent you off.
Your time is up, your moment’s gone.
Do you think we don’t notice?
The track has been looping, the record is broken.
It’s over. The people have spoken.
We’ve reached an impasse,
Love drunk on all the bullshit broadcast.
Sugarcoated psychosis.
Eat it up.
We can’t get enough, we can’t get enough.
Sycophants groveling in the mud,
Is it worth what it’s cost us?
Surrounded by infectious distractions
& Repeating patterns.
Broadcasting around the world.
On rotation in limbo, where we’re all lost.
We’ve heard it all before, we’ve been through the motions.
Can you turn it off?

SUGARCOATED PSYCHOSIS
With a balloon on a string I’m floating over the ocean
Until it pops.
I’m at the end of my tether
& I brought a knife.
I’m at the end of my tether
& I brought a knife.
Your time is up, your moments gone.
Lost in megalomania,
I’m afraid that fame’s got ya
Full of hot air & puffing out,
Just one wrong move and you’ll descend down, right?
Your time is up
Your moments gone.
I’ll kick you off
Your podium
& Don’t you forget it.
Your time is up,
Your moments gone.
Your time is up,
Your moments gone.
