Dancers to a Discordant system

Listen to the hidden tune

The essence of lies in note defined

As we dance to the dissonant sway

The choreography refined

Will subdued and shackled

Reason washed aside

Pledging our love to the chains

Our ignorance ever amplified



Blooded hands lead the waltz

We're trapped in the out of tune swirl

Still we set the show on continue mode

And dance to a discordant system



We accept the nails we're fed

Lies sharpened to bleed us silent

Muted from the pains

Defiance employed in vain

Any attempts to leave the dance

Invisibly suppressed

Questions unasked, we learn the steps

Eyes shut like all the rest



Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd

Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust

Confident that we matter, we don't see that we're but dust



We're all asinine drones kept in the dark, kept in line



Confined, bereft of reason

Withering in toxicity

The deadly fumes deceit

Humbled, brought to our knees

By the weight of our own guilt

Our innocent ways the catalyst

To injustice and inhumanity



We dance, to appease



Obscured faces file our points

Numbers fed to the machine

Still we stand in line for the next show

The human spine liquefied

What are we, but stupefied

Dancers to a discordant system



We believe, so we're misled

We assume, so we're played

We confide, so we're deceived

We trust, so we're betrayed
