IRIS (William Alex Ryan)
Corporate Pain
[Verse 1]
For all the pain I put right on the wall
The corporate advertisement rises
Higher and higher
You crave what I don’t want

[Verse 2]
I can’t break right through
You’re hypnotised
I can’t break
The foundation for your obsession

[Verse 3]
I cannot abide
Corruption piles as I
Break or take flight
A single pixel online
Gets stolen from my grasp
This thievery on blast
Your lives are seats in Broadway
And I’m your personal buffet

[Chorus]
I can’t take my exposure anymore, anymore
I’m here for all the things I cannot control
We’re born to serve this class forevermore
But no more
We are a new machine
We won’t remain in this corporate pain
[Verse 4]
Eradicate the mold
Your heart is cold
We terminate
The hearts addiction to consumption

[Verse 5]
I can’t break your mind
Give back what’s mine
Exploitate
You can’t create, so stealing’s fine

[Verse 6]
I will not abide
Will not now before your knees
Oh please comply
We attack as we’re not blind
Our possessions not your craft
This tyranny’s on blast
Your virus won’t decay me
Our torrent seeds above your fleet

[Chorus]
I can’t take my exposure anymore, anymore
I’m here for all the things I cannot control
We’re born to serve this class forevermore
But no more
We are a new machine
We won’t remain in this corporate pain
[Bridge]
Maybe I was meant to grow colder
As I grow older
(Defy)
Sooner than later I will grow tired
We as common men are all soldiers
Against your boulders
As we say enough

[Chorus]
I can’t take my exposure anymore, anymore
I’m here for all the things I cannot control
We’re born to serve this class forevermore
But no more
We are a new machine
We won’t remain in this corporate pain

[Outro]
I can't break your mind
(Maybe I was meant to grow colder)
(As I grew older)
(I can’t take my exposure anymore, anymore)
(I’m here for all the things I cannot control)
