Check it first it's a tickle just a subtle trickle in the veins A chemical ripple that's washin' away all the difficult stains and the pains Every problem's forgotten I'm feelin' sincerely at ease My anxieties caught in a comfortable breeze It's a beautiful numbness a welcome come-up I'm flowin' And the best part about it is not even knowin' where I'm goin' Just coastin' I ain't boastin' it's a new point of view Feelin' bulletproof huh what it do
Every minute's a blessing no second guessing the lesson I'm in A consequence-free existence where the happiness spins I'm insulated celebrated feels like my thoughts are brand new Wrapped in a blanket of solace Man if you only knew
And I'm weightless now floating in this perfect high A sweet numb beneath a flawless sky Finally free from the noise and the things that I chase Lost in this wonderful empty space
Wanna know what the chemical is The digital genesis The nemesis Better listen to this
It's a venomous telekinetic connection a daily injection of manufactured affection
The dealer's the screen and the product's the code you're puttin' your soul in a vulnerable mode You start with a surgical digital dissection of your own reflection you're buildin' a better perfection An entity digitally separate you better be ready to venerate this new identity It's a beautiful facade everybody's gotta applaud but you're becoming a fraud and you're prayin' to God That nobody notices the strings on your back you're under attack from the things that you lack And you do it for the validation a hollow salvation from a fabricated congregation of silent damnation The dopamine hit is a momentary bliss but you're missin' the point of what's real a venomous kiss
And the consequence is a permanent paranoid state you're checkin' the data regurgitatin' the hate You're debatin' a stranger who's probably a bot you're losin' the plot givin' everything that you got Trapped in an algorithm you can call it a prison a fatalistic vision with a catastrophic collision Where everything's tailored to feed you your own point of view it's true they got a file on everything that you do
And the man at the top the billionaire with the plan He doesn't give a damn you're just a number in his diagram They want you addicted they need you distracted your brain has been taken Your soul has been redacted You're fightin' for relevance Hopin' for heavens now drowning in fucking questions
And I'm weightless now I'm drifting away This sweet numb has nothing to say I'm finally trapped by the ghosts that I chase Haunted by the silence of this empty space
It feels just like silk but it's cutting me deep
A promise I'm forced to forever keep
They told me it's progress a world I could own
But I'm more then ever completely alone
I took the bait I signed the deal now I know the price
I know what it's called this perfect device
A goddamn GLEIPNIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No longer weightless I'm breaking away This sweet numb is starting to fade I'm finally hunting the ghosts that I chase And I'll break the silence of this empty space
