Knots

Don’t know what happened

One day we were born

now we’re all tied up in steel knots

and concrete forms

The new gods have decreed it

we are to be forlorn

Do the stars not align anymore?

What will one day be told?

Freedom was our only shout

So scream it out now

because they’ve burnt the books

seared the truth

All that’s left is doubt

The black screen swallows us whole

the hive mind reaching out

Whats left of your humanity

in the name of progress

hollows out your core

Mesmerized by distractions

decrepit fingers pointing out

oversized billboards

the shiny lights

those glamorous dresses

When we turned back

all that was left were ashes

Don’t know what happened

Now we are numbers in a machine

it consumed the mind

and spit out shadows

What’s left is a mock of energetic souls

Trapped in a bag of bones
