[Verse 1]

Free will is a lie

Compliance paradigm

Existential dissonance

Becoming socially justified

Leading to our cultural demise


[Pre-Chorus]

Threatening morality

Causing mental suffering


[Chorus]

Why do you enforce your laws on me?

Disguise your lies as the truth to me

Run 'cause I'm taking you down with me

This is my life


[Verse 2]

God damned and condemned

Severe consequence

Prophetic dissonance

We lack the empathy for mankind

Open, open, open

Open your eyеs and understand


[Pre-Chorus]

Distorted reality

Causing mеntal suffering


[Chorus]

Why do you enforce your laws on me?

Disguise your lies as the truth to me

Run 'cause I'm taking you down with me

This is my life


[Bridge]

Fucking madness surrounding me

Perverted eyes and sharpened teeth

Tearing down society

Blurring lines to disparage me


[Pre-Chorus]

Threatening morality

Causing mental suffering


[Chorus]

Why did you enforce your laws on me?

Disguise your lies as the truth to me

Run ‘cause I'm taking you down with me

This is my life


[Outro]

This is my life
