The Ether, pt 3

lyrics

Wake up there sunshine
It's time to get up and go to work
You've grown fat from the credit you've been awarded
This is the moment where the debts will all be paid

You've laid self-satisfied in your dreamy little coma
But know that the moment you always feared has arrived
You are a fraud and you have been exposed
What resource have you to hide from it all now?
You have nothing because you have defrauded even yourself
And the worst of it is you're still sleeping
But you never really sleep
Because the nightmare that it will all come crashing down never leaves you
I have some bad news for you sunshine
It already has and it happened while you were sleeping
You made this bed...
But you can not sleep in it any longer

Your masochism is sickening
I've watched you drug your petulant, opiated soul for years now
Gorged to choking on your money and consumerism
Gorged to vomiting from your lies and self-abasement
You have a theory that if you leave it alone, it just goes away
But the real illusion you've been holding up
Is the us vs. them mentality that kept you above it all
You can call it a cancer and medicate it
But eventually you just have to face the truth:
YOU ARE THE CANCER

Oh, but wait...
Was that all a dream?
No, you're safe and sound and tucked into bed
The special little gift from god is still in control
No one is ashamed of you
And you certainly have every reason
To be proud of who you are
You're your own man
And the whole world bows to you
Gift from god?
Wake up fuckhead

There are no more chances
You shouldn't have counted on the last
Get out of bed
Rub the breadcrust out of your eyes
Put your clothes on
And get to work
