Prompt / Lyrics
Hook: We functional junkies, livin’ in the lies Escalation creepin’, can’t trust your own eyes System unravelin’, truth they try to hide Final crash comin’, nowhere left to slide Verse 1 – Phase One: The Functioning Junkie Yeah, it started generations back, famine and the grind Population control, they said it’s for humankind No gods above, just necessity cold The chosen play the part, doin’ what they’re told Volunteers or exiled, everyone knows the deal Like a family watchin’ marks, pretendin’ it ain’t real Leaders feel the high, power in their veins Society moves smooth, but paranoia remains Brittle normalcy, like a thin glass floor They lie airtight, but we know what’s in store Hook: We functional junkies, livin’ in the lies Escalation creepin’, can’t trust your own eyes System unravelin’, truth they try to hide Final crash comin’, nowhere left to slide Verse 2 – Phase Two: Escalation & Mistakes Like a junkie needin’ more just to feel the same The system crave sacrifices, playin’ the game Plagues hit, babies rise, quota climbs high They take the beloved, can’t hide that cry Artifacts left behind, witnesses awake Clean narrative bleeds, mistakes they can’t fake Leadership twitchin’, erratic, forced smiles Guards over-placed, crushing dissent wild Lies get louder, more elaborate, less real Denial cracking, that’s the poison we feel Hook: We functional junkies, livin’ in the lies Escalation creepin’, can’t trust your own eyes System unravelin’, truth they try to hide Final crash comin’, nowhere left to slide Verse 3 – Phase Three: The System Unravels Open secret screamin’, trust evaporates People pull back, love carries the weight Parentin’ turns nightmares, art stops breathin’ Innovation dies, creativity leavin’ Black markets rise, bribes buy escape Utilitarian lies show their ugly shape Leadership addicted to power, not stability Rituals just feed greed, killin’ civility Brave ones refuse, metaphors in the streets Intervention starts, social cohesion depletes Hook: We functional junkies, livin’ in the lies Escalation creepin’, can’t trust your own eyes System unravelin’, truth they try to hide Final crash comin’, nowhere left to slide Verse 4 – Phase Four: Final Crash Catalyst hit, leader goin’ too far Sacrifice children, lesson under the stars Frenzy erupts, old scores settle fast Integration’s a lie, now chaos amassed Drug raw, no lies to buffer the blow Population either dies or just goes slow Trauma permanent, biological shame Society hollowed, can’t rebuild the game Mirror held up, see the addicted hive Sober now, facin’ the wreckage alive High of survival burned, humanity lost Addiction consumed it all, reality the cost Bridge: From lottery to frenzy, from denial to rage Population addicted, trapped in a cage No gods above, no salvation in sight Just the needle of habit, in the dead of night Outro: Addiction is the story, society the junkie Rituals as the needles, power the monkey Denial grows, transparency fades Crash inevitable
