Masquerade Parade lyrics

[Verse 1: Vicky Psarakis, Robby J. Fonts]
Our planet isn't dying, they don't want you to live
Restricting our resources with abundance they give
Upping prices, price you out
There's nothing you can do about
With their poisoned minds they raise your kids
To indoctrinate the opposite

[Verse 2: Vicky Psarakis, Robby J. Fonts]
Perspective, so they turn on you
Can't own a house so you rent a room
They wanna kill you in the womb
Inside your mother is your tomb
If you make it out alive
They ensure you won't survive
Day to day with bills to pay
You can't do anything you crave
You do not have a say

[Verse 3: Robby J. Fonts]
Ain't it pragmatic?
Everyone you know's an addict
And we had it with the static
My response is automatic
I'm addicted to the thrills
Of making music, not the pills
They got you popping for your Ritalin, your Vicodin refills
Operate in stealth
Doctors ain't about the health, only in it for the wealth
Masquerading practitioner
Ask your god, king, president, dictator, prime minister
[Pre-Chorus: Robby J. Fonts]
Fools, they take you for a ride
Defy, don't fall for it this time

[Chorus: Vicky Psarakis]
Hold your ground
When the vultures gather, let them circle you
Stare them down
Let their voices carry, hovering from above

[Verse 3: Vicky Psarakis]
Here's the diagnosis, it's a brainwash psychosis
And here's the prognosis, underlying neurosis
It's a miracle, everyone's hysterical
There must be some clerical error, no, it's unbearable
Are we the only ones who haven't lost our minds?
A reality too twisted to define

[Bridge: Vicky Psarakis]
It's fine, now rest your head, go back to bed
This nightmare you declare
You said is all made up, it isn't real
Stay asleep so you won't feel, so you won't think
So you won't question anything
All that you want, all that you please
Is here online for your release
[Pre-Chorus: Robby J. Fonts]
Fools, they take you for a ride
Defy, don't fall for it this time

[Chorus: Vicky Psarakis]
Hold your ground
When the vultures gather, let them circle you
Stare them down
Let their voices carry, hovering from above

[Breakdown: Robby J. Fonts]
They take me for a ride that I don't wanna be on
Like I'm a nobody, a worthless measly peon
Like I am nothing when I'm something, yet you hold this doubt
I'll show everyone who ever mocked what I'm about

[Refrain: Vicky Psarakis]
When the vultures gather
Let them circle you

[Chorus: Vicky Psarakis]
Hold your ground
When the vultures gather, let them circle you
Stare them down
Let their voices carry you
[Post-Chorus: Robby J. Fonts]
You'll never take me, I'd rather go die
Leave here in a body bag than keep living lies for you
