[00:23.311] *At the first instance it felt good.
[00:25.129] I convinced myself I was brave.
[00:27.012] For a while I wanted to be a part of a bigger picture.
[00:29.474] It was a picture of immense greatness.
[00:31.310] It gave me inexplicable joy.
[00:32.650] Granting me a sense of purpose.*
[00:34.716]
[00:34.717] *illusions*
[00:34.718]
[00:34.719] *For a while I was driven.
[00:36.446] Everything I did convinced me I was a normal,
[00:38.344] Functioning part of the society.
[00:39.863] Surviving on reciting values that upon reflection,
[00:42.537] Were obviously illusionary.*
[00:44.385]
[00:44.386] *illusions*
[00:45.486]
[00:45.487] What started as a grand resistance has worn away
[00:48.963] And left us with a lake of blood
[00:52.657]
[00:56.523] Devoured by the voice of anger
[00:59.511] Devoured by a toxic peer
[01:02.067] Devoured by a nameless creature
[01:05.228] Devoured
[01:06.457] Devoured
[01:07.362] By fear
[01:08.681]
[01:08.902] *It was theatre.
[01:09.566] The grand gesture, the moment of choice,
[01:11.537] The mortal danger, the external foe,
[01:13.395] The climactic battle whose outcome resolves all,
[01:15.455] To appear heroic, to excite and gratify.
[01:17.682] To be applauded and admired.
[01:19.760] To be loved and cared for.*
[01:19.761]
[01:19.762] As much as it was good entertainment
[01:22.007] You will soon be eaten away by the your choice of drug
[01:26.876]
[01:30.729] To die for the grand resistance
[01:33.673] To die for a great idea
[01:36.453] Shackle your faith to a gambler
[01:39.450] Too blind too blind see clear
[01:42.963]
[01:54.277] Degraded it was, you degraded it more
[01:56.947] Spiralling downward do you know what its for
[01:59.836] To fight your enemy you needed more men
[02:02.658] To fight your enemy you take what you can
[02:05.548] To form an army, you formulate lies
[02:08.487] To drive the army, you fake your own cries
[02:11.175] To feed the army, you kill your own friends
[02:14.284] Now with this army you burn all your ends
[02:17.012] Now with this army you burn all your ends
[02:20.121] Now with this army you burn all your ends
[02:22.963]
[02:34.105] Look in the mirror, all you see is your pain
[02:36.805] Look in the mirror, you're covered in shame
[02:39.920] Look in the mirror, your illusion is strong
[02:42.755] You break the mirror, new evil is born
[02:45.913]
[02:57.012] Explain to me how the f**k we got here?
[03:10.076]
[03:19.854] Do you understand?
[03:21.417] Here is the truth--
[03:22.924] Actual heroism receives no ovation, entertains no one.
[03:26.637] No one is interested.
[03:28.022] And soon you become no more than yet another victim
[03:32.286]
[03:42.765] *I started to understand what happened to me was dark, evil, and shameful,
[03:46.248] And by association I too was dark, evil, and shameful.
[03:49.043] While it may not have been my intention,
[03:50.874] This was the message my clouded mind received.
[03:52.880] To escape the confines of these chains,
[03:54.672] I disassociated myself from my emotions
[03:56.573] And numbed myself to the pain ravaging my mind and body .*
[04:00.003]
[04:12.848] Join now for your own salvation!
[04:25.687]
[04:35.590] Pretend we are fighting absolute evil
[04:38.444] Pretend it's a grand creature we battled
[04:41.374] Any victory we become immediate legends
[04:44.174] If we die we all become war heroes
