Compelled to Consume

Compelled to consume, a need to satisfy the urge
Desire to meet, a translucent expectation
Hooked into the grid, a stream of never ending images
Convincing the world, the way they want us to all be
Breaking you down, with messages designed to feed into… Subonscious fears and
insecurities
We got what you need to fill the never ending void
The hole in your soul that you’re unable to avoid
Compelled to consume, driven to obey
Haunted by desire, staggering in dismay
Compelled to consume, driven to obey
Haunted by desire, staggering in dismay
Flashing images of perfection, something you can never achieve
Desperate emptiness burns inside of you
Searching, endless agony
Deaf, dumb, dead, and blind, years of reception have programmed your mind
Buying, selling, begging for time
Searching for happiness you cannot… buy
Succumb to daily pressures to meet the status quo
Resources exhausted
Plugged in, tuned out, turned on, switched off
We are your overseers, the unseen masters of every want — desire
Born, and then you die and in between you live the life of a lie
Thrown into a sea of discontent — left to drown
Compelled to consume, driven to obey
Haunted by desire, staggering in dismay
Compelled to consume, driven to obey
Haunted by desire, staggering in dismay
