[Panopticon - Resident lyrics]
Predator and prey
The wolf grinds it's steel teeth
In a false twilight
The night came so long ago: When children
Where domesticated and caged in white rooms
A helpless herd to wringing hands
His back dented with high heels
Cleaved into the meat of his shoulders
Breast-fed toxic waste, the umbilical noose
Born into death
Neglected battered and wasting away
Fight or flight is only in open air
Fright and flight on the inside
So many hands eager to hold you down
Often until your breathing will cease
Your cries heard by deaf ears -
Just as the walls of concrete
Profit maker human livestock misery harvest
Bow to our monetary god, Child servant
Broken beaten and scarred
You sleep under the watchful eye of strangers
Profit off of your tiny back
Paying the bills of philanthropists
Your wretched reality
There is no one in whom you believe
Your god is your own
Now I will tuck you into sleep
The wolf grinds it's steel teeth
In a false twilight
The night came so long ago: When children
Where domesticated and caged in white rooms
A helpless herd to wringing hands
His back dented with high heels
Cleaved into the meat of his shoulders
Breast-fed toxic waste, the umbilical noose
Born into death
Neglected battered and wasting away
Fight or flight is only in open air
Fright and flight on the inside
So many hands eager to hold you down
Often until your breathing will cease
Your cries heard by deaf ears -
Just as the walls of concrete
Profit maker human livestock misery harvest
Bow to our monetary god, Child servant
Broken beaten and scarred
You sleep under the watchful eye of strangers
Profit off of your tiny back
Paying the bills of philanthropists
Your wretched reality
There is no one in whom you believe
Your god is your own
Now I will tuck you into sleep
