Lyrics for Heads Are Gonna Roll

Normalize your hate just to normalize your state Prescriptions on a plate, bitter pill to sedate Build a prison for your faith, changing your face To mask your emotions, to normalize this place Throw your heart into the ocean watch it sink without a trace Borderline condition, bored of my condition Cosmetics for lost relics, laws of religion Hoarding ammunition Fire power burns your ambition To keep itself warm in an artificial storm From the minute you were born you were filling in a form Giving you a name If you don't live the same, then they christen you insane Christen you insane Driven by the same voice that kept on coursing through your veins Facial recognition, facial reconstruction Worshiping devices with the faces of corruption Turn a blind eye, the victim you heard cry The system you work by your life in AI Your substance traumatized, every wound reopened cauterized Healed till it's normalized No battle scar for an avatar, lead the cattle to the abattoir Shackled by the status, database tackling hiatus Seeking advice Speaking to devices equally priced to cheapen your life Value the essence, a lasting impression You're dancing with the heart of progression Negatives left in the dark processing, a search, an artificial self More harm than it's worth (More harm than it's worth) All the colors changing black to white Plugging in to your brain machine Overshadowing heartless faces Worship the first hit, interpret the verdict Stop being perfect, light up the circuit Beneath the surface, reach in the furnace And burn pain is real, we all wait our turn To cut through that red tape Ain't gonna learn, stuck in that headspace Replicate, replicate, replicate Get straight to grips with the handshake We break it down and tell a system to translate Immortality breaking reality Take your analogy and shaping your agony Bleeding your battery, feeding your allergy Mechanical anatomy connected to a network Obsessed and communication gets worse For an artificial self-harming, it's health Armed to the teeth and real emotions get harder to reach (Harder to reach) All the colors changing black to white Plugging in to your brain machine Overshadowing heartless faces All the colors changing black to white Plugging in to your brain machine Overshadowing heartless faces Programmed how to live Program what to say Normalize grey areas, put them on display Program your heart Program your soul Raw emotions are kept under control But orders are kept, under your breath Your life at risk, the more that you know They start to respect, the less you evolve Being self-aware is just a problem to solve Disconnect a bleeding heart, spreading the globe Heads are gonna roll Heads are gonna roll Describing a future that we already know Heads are gonna roll Heads are gonna roll Describing a future that we already know Heads are gonna roll Heads are gonna roll Describing a future that we already know (That we already know) All the colors changing black to white Plugging in to your brain machine Normalize your hate, normalize your state Normalize your hate, normalize your faith Normalize your hate, normalize your state (Overshadowing heartless faces) Normalize your hate, normalize your faith Normalize your hate, normalize your state Normalize your hate, normalize your faith
