Hologram Lyrics

The Earth stood still for a moment.
Feasting eyes on the feed that was chosen.
Forcing down a pill,
Deceptive and bitter.
Fear is gripping the trigger.
Never struck a chord,
When the blood flowed,
From a heart you didn't know.

Guided to their graves,
In scarlet chains.
Engaged, betrayed.
Collateral slaves.
Prepare to disembark,
Butchered in the dark.
Outgunned, outweighed,
No one is safe.

We're conditioned to be afraid,
Faceless figures control the game.
Lips stitched shut speak violence.
We're conditioned to be afraid,
Faceless figures we're taught to blame.
Lips stitched shut speak violence.
Nothing that you hear,
And nothing that you see.
Nothing on the reel,
Hasn't passed through a screen,
1984 in 2016.

The Earth stood still for a moment.
Feasting eyes on the feed that was chosen.
Forcing down a pill,
Deceptive and bitter,
Fear is gripping the trigger.
We're conditioned to be afraid,
Faceless figures control the game.
Lips stitched shut speak violence.
We're conditioned to be afraid,
Faceless figures we're taught to blame.
Lips stitched shut speak violence.

Never struck a chord,
When the blood flowed,
From a heart you didn't know.
Never struck a chord,
When the blood flowed,
Now your dead friends are a part of the show.
