Walking Backwards

from Depths. by Higher Learning

lyrics

Rotting at the core and rife with decay
The self defined “Utopia” we call the modern day
A functionalist system, oppressive morbid state
That feeds us death and lies and teaches us to hate
The Machine has grown strong and now excels at deceiving
Says “Wealth fame and power are the only joys worth achieving
Exaltation for the mighty but no blessing for the meek
If they’ve no instrumental value, they’re worthless and they’re weak.”

Striving for excess pleasure and experience void of pain
The people shirk the ancient virtue that to suffer is to gain
So they consume the system’s poisons, drug themselves until their numb
And the alert, the awake, the aware are now the deaf, the blind, the dumb
They now sleep as dormant children tucked inside disaster’s womb
Their lifeless human spirit laid in a cubicle shaped tomb
The false self is exalted, the mind is sold to pride
That blinds us all from the innate truths that each person holds inside.
