No Proof of Innocence (DARQ ALBUM PROMO)

 
Skin Deep
 
Spelling out the nature of this that I despise
The stench of beauty exploited that tempts the beholders eyes
Raunchy from the innocence of what first was intended
Perversity idolatry, eroticism from purity descended

Bathing in the filth of our bodies exposed
Immodest in the will to sell
Profits at an all time high undisclosed
As pleasures pave way to usher them to hell

Identity stolen by the politics of domesticated culture
Immorality circling dead spirits like a bloodthirsty vulture
Youth siphoned through the corruption of indoctrinations of false unity
Revolution hate in a parade of pride for lovers of a depraved community

Skin deep and appetites twisted
Claim tolerance when it’s born of your will to self reject
Playing God when everything that you resisted
Was born from a place of your inability to accept

We are cut from the same cloth of this adulterated flesh
Our demons kin to common lusts in various expressions of desire
In the aftermath of brokenness and different forms of molest
You’ll never walk in truth as long as you’re in love with a liar…

Do you think that’s air you’re breathing?
 
Convenience craves control
We are cogs in the mechanics enslaved
Blueprints for consciousness in the drafts of experimental AI
Past the point we can be saved

We are mastered by computers in the name of technological advance
Following algorithms to patterns after the network of digital romance

Minds undone as we plug in
Reworking perspectives of the news that’s sold
What do we believe in
Indoctrinated by the narrative of everything we’re told

What is the source behind it all
The collective coding, the programming of another’s ideal
Lucid fantasies on the screen
The mind incapable of distinguishing the false from something real

Networks of our social illusion
Pretending like we know ourselves as we sell our lives
Caught in the web of the evolution
Linked in as if our lungs are made of hard drives…
