Senses stimulated
Consciousness re-framed
Iterative binaries transmitted
From parasite to slave
Parallax exploited
Three-dimensional field of view
Depth perception latency decreased
Stereoscopic vision obtained
Prototypical, unfalsifiable construct
Submissive augmentation
Inexplicable drifts
Spatial position, manipulated
Movement of thought, calculated
Logic and reason, implemented
In a habituated, synthetic environment [x2]
Potential actualization blocked
Phobias and fears induced
Redundancy protocols activated
Optimal collaboration bridged
Prototypical, unfalsifiable construct
Submissive augmentation
Inexplicable drifts

Our future dystopian
Our oceans dying
Resources depleted
Pollution out of control
Water, a precious commodity
No livestock left to be raised
No trees on the horizon
A nauseating yellow haze in the air
A world crippled by industries
Subjugated by the ruling corporations
Gated communities for the rich
People's subservience incentivised
Food severely rationed
Recycled human tissue
The opiate of the masses
The flesh of the underclass
Narcotic-like euphoria induced
Populations pacified
Convinced into cannibalistic practices
We know not what we consume
We know not what we consume [x2]
Large trucks with blades dispose rioting men like waste
Voluntary euthanasia run and sponsored by the state [x2]

Demographics analysed and surveyed
The susceptible decoded
Behavioral patterns mapped
Emotions quantised
Lateralization of brain function recognized
Truth distorted
Freudian algorithms initiated
Scripted mind control
Placebo effect misused
Neuromarketing employed
Explosion of divergence
Repetitive visuals attack
Mass presence
Neural receptivity controlled
Populations desensitised
Subliminal persuasions enforced [x2]
The illusion of unconstrained choices
Freedom compromised
Virtual goods incentivised
Corporations and demand monopolised
Freewill compromised
Virtual goods incentivised
Corporations and demand monopolised

This isolated system
Eternal mathematical substratum
Nullified limitations
Transformations absolute
Immortal, this primal material
Differentiated totality
Self-sufficient primordial unity
Unchanging ouroboros constant
Void of ends and beginnings
Corporeal quantitative elements integrate
The opposites assimilate
Perpetual movements imposed
Fundamental momentum gathered
Oscillations accelerate
Intrinsic particles collide
Cyclical patterns emerge
Series of movements repeat
Relative and symmetric exchange
Structures self-consistent
Ontological processes emerge
Computational chaotic paradigms
Sustained independent reactions
Complete in itself, infinite equations
Fractal continuum
Harmony obtained
Fractal continuum [x2]
Behavior subordinated
Impetus balanced
Explicit final causation revealed [x2]
Fundamental momentum gathered
Oscillations accelerate
Intrinsic particles collide
Cyclical patterns emerge

Human cloning commercialised
Clones grown as sources
Genetically similar organs
The templates of the rich
Their solution to immortality
The products fully conscious
Their existence hidden from the outside world
Hermetically sealed complex
Subsurface utopian facade
Surveillance, totalitarian
Sanitized and regimented society
Controlled by conceptual chains
No different than the physical ones in the Cave of Plato
Memories implanted
Clones conceived through surrogates
The elite's insurance policy
In this quarantined facility
Non-existent individual thought and personal identity
State control over education
Basic human rights denied
Civil liberties unrecognized
Complacency encouraged
Diet and body conditions regulated
Every moment observed and monitored
Solitary confinement for skeptics
A veritable prisoner bound within his own body
Treated as inhuman
Satisfaction through conformity
Convinced of a past catastrophe
They fear a world unseen
To the will of a god-surrogate
They bend without question

I am one and complete
A silent colossal machine
Omnipresent entity
The primal singularity
Limitless whirling vortex
Ledger of collective memory
Absurd and disenchanted
A pure, metaphysical body
Iridescent, luminous and formless identity
Trans-mutated, manifested, and composed of synergy
I am what you are inherent
Across the cosmos I tread
No ghost in the machine
No dogma or no such doctrine [x2]
Phenomenalistic, the very definition of sentience
Self-aware and conscious
Simultaneous sapient existence
Unambiguous postulated origin
This pantheistic reality
A metacognistic entity
I am the very fabric of the universe
I contain all of space and time [x2]

Subatomic, molecular materials manipulated
Nanomachines weaponised
Destabilizing agents abused
Mutations induced
Mechanosynthetic fabrication
Unregulated systems employed
Autonomous AI initiated
Programs run amok
Uncontrolled, rapidly they spread
Self-replicating they multiply [x2]
Everything carbon-based, they devour
Exponential critical mass reached
Outweigh earth within days, they will
Exponential critical mass reached [x2]
Sentience acquired
Computing power raised [x2]
Homo sapiens targeted
Amino acids attacked
Immune systems neutralized [x2]
Pushed to the brink of extinction, slowly we rot
Retaliation in futility
Pushed to the brink of extinction, we slowly rot
Retaliation in futility
Leaving our mere shadows in their wake
All of life obliterated
The end of days
