ZÆN - Creature Fear Lyrics

And it's not the man I fear, but the soul inside I planted
A creature foreign fear running rampant through the masses
Paranoid unclear, sure to put us in our caskets
Our reaction, expressions so blank and cold

Bereft of candid, we pose for cameras in silent splendor
Yeah I can barely wait to take a look at my face and scream
Screen after screen ever on repeat begging for retweets
Oh man what a letdown, guess I'll start again
Guess I'll turn my back now

I'll back down, I'll back out
But I'm so self-obsessed how did the Net catch us now?
Are we all just an act now? Guess that's why I act out-
Just another part of the cast no matter how hard I direct
Excavate my chest out, and tell them what we found
Hope they're ready for a letdown...

Swing left, swipe right, think fast, quick type ALL CAPS good god I think I
Might just throw up, wish you good luck
Hope to survive this zeitgeist?
Then we gotta get out... is that an option now?

'Cause it's not the man I fear, but the soul inside I planted
A creature foreign fear running rampant through the masses
Paranoid unclear, sure to put us in our caskets
Our reaction, expressions so blank and cold

'Cause it's not the man I fear, but the soul inside I planted
A creature foreign fear running rampant through the masses
Paranoid unclear, sure to put us in our caskets
Our reaction, expressions so blank and cold

I couldn't work it out, ask me to write it down
The space I made surrounds me
A figure in the cloud, I need some solid ground
The anchor's weighed in this sea
Yes I'm missing from the prison
No destiny, lacking vision, adrift
Asking what's my mission here no more

We put the nail to our nihilism, but instead of killed we kept it hidden
We gotta bail out this water-ridden boat we rode in on
And if it's true that the sky is falling, I vote we call it off
'Cause in the middle of making these rules, I've forgotten what they're for

What a direction
What a splendid indiscretion here, evidenced by this collective
They got a line for every question
Ya gotta try and beg the question
Am I a liar too like all of the rest of them?
