ZILF - Dead Air

I see the ignorance breeding
I feel the pressure, it breathes around my neck
I won't give in to the feeding
It's an atrocity strapped to your head

We gave in so easy
It worked like a charm
We smiled and praised them
We lit their cigars
But now we're dependent
So ready the alarms
To whom will we turn
When we wake up disarmed?

Dead air
What you know
Holds no truth, where's the proof we condone?
Take aim
We're merely clones
Mindless and fragile so where will we go?

Where, how?
Turmoil
They don't want us to know
That our dependence is starting to grow

Break the bonds that hold us in stasis
Now our inertia has led us to chains
Can't see the eyes of the faceless
We suffer fools while they watch us inherit the flames

Diverted inception divested of means
A constant connection to hidden regimes
This sleepless necrosis disfigures our dreams
The sound of the noiseless now deafens our screams

Dead air
What you know
Holds no truth, where's the proof we condone?
Take aim
I think we're owed
A look at how far this rabbit hole goes

Where, how?
Past the pale
They don't know where to go
Now our addiction is starting to show

Anticipation for the next of kin
Will never satisfy this endless cycle
Our expectation of a flawless rule
Will be forever out of reach
I didn't really want the world to end
But if it has to come to this

Our tombs were built before us
Take it or leave it behind
A permanent place of respite
Constant and silence inside
Beyond these pale ancient walls
Is the tragic conclusion, the clamour of millions of souls
Struck by the fervour that flows
Channelling from their phones

Upon this treason lays the end
The self-destruction of our roots
As we lay dormant now owned by this drug
Disregarding authenticity
The only thing that's trending
Self-diagnosed searching blindly for the noose

They want me to talk
But there's nobody there
It's always the same news
Just different names
Dead air
Dead air

Silence
Horror
Please stand by
For more information
Something's wrong
I can't get reception
Please stand by
For more information
Thanaphobia
The final transmission
