No Surprise

My surrender is complete, whatever fate decrees
All hope and fear and life and death in symmetry
See light through crooked trees, through charlatans and thieves
As algorithms filter our reality

And so it came
As no surprise
That each of us
Had lived a lie

I scaled the highest peak, the scene defies belief
Looked out on all the horrors of humanity
A vile and vivid dream, their greed was so obscene
All men conspire to cultivate a tragedy

And so it came
As no surprise
My mouth was shut
My hands were tied

A little love
Would serve us well
A stitch in time
Toll of the bell

Talk technicolour, the truth is uncovered
I'm sick and I'm startin' to shake
Sluggish for days, now I step through the haze
I'm awake, I'm awake

Talk technicolour, the truth is uncovered
I'm sick and I'm startin' to shake
Sluggish for days now, I step through the haze
I'm awake

And so it came
As no surprise
My mouth was shut
My hands were tied

A little love
Would serve us well
A stitch in time
Toll of the bell
