Periphery - Zagreus lyrics

The prosthetic limbs of social norms
Are beating us today
The burdens we all must hide, or pay for it
Transgressions aside
Be a martyr for life and
Everything will be fucking fine
Transgressions aside
Having the time of our lives
Now pay for it and you'll
Savor every last drop

Two as one fodder for the slaughterhouse
Quartered on the killing floor
You and I are searching for
Something beyond this social condition
Fill the ballot and give our permission
Over and over again and again
Sort your condition get down with submission
Searching for something beyond
This social condition
Cast your vote and then move aside

Tradition of submission starting
From the womb you better watch what you say
They always know what's best though
Conditioned by their vision
Sinking in our tombs
The pressure is always there we know
They want what's best though
Of course they do
I think it's time to stop pointing
Fingers and start looking inward
Measure the cases 'cause it's not
Right just to generalize
Start staring down your life and maybe
You'll see things much clearer
Imploring what's down in your mind
To make an appearance sort your condition
Throw it in remission throw it aside

Will it ever be?
Will we ever live in honesty?
'Cause we're falling apart, you and I
Will it ever be?
Will we ever live another day in honesty?
'Cause we're falling apart, right
From the start, you and I
So paint that picture to sleep at night
No regard for another's life
We'll be just fine, you and I
