Affliction Lyrics by Sonic Assault

Neon-Lit Metropolis

2022

Born and raised in the shadow of a metropole
I face every day with agony
The moment I open my eyes
Problems reflect and blind me

Poverty, destitution
Leading to mistrust of the future
Misery, we are not a part of the evolution
Degraded of worth, slaves, outcast

Grief grows every day
As exploitation kills my race
While others profit from our pain
Segregation keeps us trapped in our misery

Grief grows every day
As exploitation kills my race
Affliction dominates the brain
Sanity slowly decays

Anxiety and agony pressurising
A barren life of suffering

Grief grows every day
As exploitation kills my race
Affliction dominates the brain
Sanity slowly decays

Structural apathy is created
By the oppressive values of hierarchy
Sanity slowly decays
Empathy of the masses is erased

Personal sanity detached from the mind
Violent cravings making me blind
Considering suicide but refuse to leave without their lives

The worst sides of humanity’s capabilities
Taking shape of a psychopath
Inhumane cravings and a distorted mind
Born from a loveless and empty life

Empathic degeneracy
Sadistic relief
From inhumane deeds
Replacing basic needs
