Propagandhi - Cognitive Suicide lyrics

You were a flash of light
Across a sky of total dark
You saw their shocked and gaping jaws
Then it all returned to black
There was a brief surge of panic
Their eyes pressed tight
You brought a swarm of
Confusion to their bleak, but simple lives

Cognitive suicide insular, pathetic minds
Try to cut you off at the knees
So they won’t be left behind
If everything is bland and unambiguous
Maybe they can understand how they
Fit into this place

Every time they fail
They seek a victim for their spite
Some dismal need to crush
Someone beneath their feet
All their acrid words can’t
Ease their wounded hearts
Despite their claims, they have no maps
No keys to any gates

Cognitive suicide insecure, regressive minds
Try to cut you off at the knees
So they won’t be left behind

Petrified, frozen to imaginary times
Pay no mind, I hope they pass you by
Live your life and don't apologize
To the cowards of this world
They're a waste of time

Everything's in between

Are they terrified of unobscured
And brilliant colors?
Perhaps you cracked the door to
Their own forbidden worlds

Everything's in between
