Callous Lyrics by Half Sight

Rhetoric

2016

Drawn into a world, that paints each day by numbers
Handpicked by the fools that govern everything we see
And there’s no care for the colors or the canvas on which we will rest
Just an absence of true beauty they’d never think to seek
They’d never think to seek
They’d never think to seek
We let the rats stroll over what could so easily be a finely executed masterpiece
But was it ever picture perfect to start?
Was it ever picture perfect?
A tainted image of disparity; a nation’s strain with no clarity

Bullied by thugs of fame in a market thriving on vanity
Slowly poisoning our minds with all they choose to advertise
Broadcast after broadcast, it’s streamed into our lives
But through all, we're forced to see we won’t open our eyes
When will we wake up? When will the channels change?
Fame starved with no shame
Will we just stand by whilst they ignite rage?
Slaves to the airwaves

Blind eyes turned to what is right whilst they sit and blossom under the spotlight
Morals molded from all you see and the shit you read is everything you believe
Far from a gift that keeps on giving or just a fire that you keep fuelling
Far from a gift that keeps on giving or just a fire that you keep fuelling
Our castles are becoming prisons, our shelters soon to be slums
