"The opening track.. it hits like a Mack truck. One if the more aggressive tracks off 'Illuminate'. This one was a commentary on our modern world as an average frustrated individual who isn't content with his/ her environment or life direction might see it. Kind of sounds like you, huh? Good.

It's not necessarily a political 'call to arms' or 'anti-government' anthem... but more of an 'open your eyes' proclamation. Nowadays, I believe most people are so apathetic about things that directly effect them, yet so passionate and aggressive towards others about things that don't concern them. So this was a sonic and poet criticism of the aforementioned. It's also really fun to play. So take it for what it's worth and enjoy."

-Brian Gower

lyrics

Verse 1:
In this state of desperation, frustrations lead to fear
Victims of deception, things aren't how they appear

In our blissful ignorance they keep us so confused
They keep us all distracted so they can hide the truth

CHORUS:
Can't you see what's happening
Passed the chaos and mind-control?
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody care at all?

Verse 2:
In this state of paranoia I feel so alone
Among the brainwashed fools and the mindless drones

Blinded by misinformation, we're all being mislead.
Believing all their lies and the bullshit that we're fed.
