Prompt / Lyrics
Another screen, another lie Another child left asking why You scream your cause, but can’t explain Marching blind into the flame They sell you rage in high-def sound While truth is buried underground You’re fighting wars you never knew For kings who never bled like you ⸻ And no one sees The strings beneath You’re not awake You’re just asleep ⸻ Dance, puppets, dance — in the toxic reverie! You’re burning flags, but you forgot what freedom means Eyes wide shut, you follow what you cannot see You scream for peace while dripping in hypocrisy Dance, puppets, dance — in the toxic reverie! While crimson roses rot beneath your apathy Chasing shadows of a glitching memory Trapped in loops of false reality ⸻ They sold your fears in plastic smiles You wear their thoughts, made to beguile Distracted minds in pixel chains Trading purpose just for fame You’re quoting gods from meme accounts You chant your truth, but never doubt And in the end, what did you learn? The world still spins, and bridges burn ⸻ Wake up, wake up You’ve been asleep They pull your strings You dance so sweet ⸻ Dance, puppets, dance — in the toxic reverie! While echoes of the past become your prophecy You stare at flames but never feel the heat And wonder why you’re still on broken knees Dance, puppets, dance — in the toxic reverie! While crimson roses beg for you to see But you scroll past them mindlessly Living death in high velocity ⸻ Can’t you see? They’ve turned your mind into a cage No clarity… Just dopamine and scripted rage You could’ve stopped… To smell the war-torn roses, red But you’re too lost… In what that TikTok echo said ⸻ Dance, puppets, dance in the toxic reverie! You’re bleeding truths into a digital disease Wake up, wake up break the fantasy You’re more than echoes of their fallacy Dance, puppets, dance in the toxic reverie! While crimson roses bloom in tragedy You could live free… but you’d rather be Another ghost inside their toxic dream ⸻ Dance… puppets… dance… in the toxic reverie…
