False Consciousness
Joseph Anthony Gonzalez
Strip away the veil that blinds us
Cast away the chains that bind
Ship to shore transmissions crackle in the ether
This frequency is hard to find
Walk through cities of collusion
Map this shoreline of illusion
Stay with me
See statues built to damaged gods
And monuments to firing squads of agonies
You make it seem so easy
Strip away this false consciousness
Set me free
Methods to extract confessions
This insistence on possession
I hear the screams
Interrogating treachery in analog reality
The operator of the dream machine
Are you receiving me?
Strip away this false consciousness
And set me free"
