Governing Dynamics
A watchful eye is what you’ve got
Overhead well under notice
This awareness weighs so heavy
Most can’t say they’re this devoted

Get your prophet on the screen
And the voice over the system
Light of truth touching so sweet
Why would anyone resist them

Points of data linked by thread
Forest green and spilled blood red
Nothing’s funny, just nothing’s happening quite yet
You’ll have the last laugh, no one listened when you said

“You people haven’t done the homework
Skipped out on the reading
Fell asleep in class
You’re blind to
The strings tug you sideways
Emerging from the shadow
Of the smoking looking glass”

Got it all under surveillance
Watching from the fortress
Checking off the boxes
Logging every near miss

The masses lining up for mourning
No sympathy no sway
They should have heard your warning
Surely hell is on the way

Your eyes are wide
Sliding past the stations
Prepared and terrified
Well within expectations

“You people haven’t done the homework
Didn’t do the reading
Fell asleep in class
You’re blind to
The strings tug you sideways
Emerging from the shadow
Of the smoking looking glass”

We don’t see it like you see it
Believe it with your bulletproof conviction
It’s a fine line, betting on a long shot
Dotting lines to distant dots
And making a god from fiction

“You people haven’t done the homework
Didn’t do the reading
Fell asleep in class
You’re blind to
The strings tug you sideways
Emerging from the shadow
Of the smoking looking glass”

We don’t see it like you see it
Believe it with your bulletproof conviction
It’s a fine line, betting on a long shot
Dotting lines to distant dots
And making a god from fiction
