The deceiver

When did we all become
Replicas of a lie
They said
""Let's feed the world our bullshit
And watch our profits soar""
Well, I've seen this all
Over and over again
But, it's a little different
Than before

Now you are hooked on something
That isn't you
No matter where you dig
You're just not breaking through
And if for a second you were
Something like before
Would you deny the deceiver
At least, try to ignore

(Can you try to ignore)

Don't waste your breath
With apologies
No one's going to care
You work so hard
To be like them
Yet, you don't compare

Now you are hooked on something
That isn't you
No matter where you dig
You're just not breaking through
And if for a second you were
Something like before
Would you deny the deceiver
At least, try to ignore

Can you try to ignore
