Nodding Cattle

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Woke up to a screen inside my bedroom wall

They told me it was safety I don't recall

Asking for permission just to breathe the air

Cameras in the bathroom watching everywhere

Pre-Chorus

Every word I whisper gets analyzed

Every thought I conjure gets revised

Chorus

Welcome to the garden where the flowers never see

They're feeding us distractions behind a gilded screen

The corporation's scripture is the law we're forced to read

And we're all just nodding cattle on a leash

Post-Chorus

Nodding nodding

On a leash

Verse 2

Tried to find a crack inside the concrete truth

They flagged my profile back when I was still a youth

Neural implants tracking every blink and nod

They rewrote the history that my father taught

Pre-Chorus

Reduced to data points and serial strings

We traded all our souls for shiny things

Chorus

Welcome to the garden where the flowers never see

They're feeding us distractions behind a gilded screen

The corporation's scripture is the law we're forced to read

And we're all just nodding cattle on a leash

Guitar Solo

Bridge

I remember letters written by my hand

Now it's fingerprints and fines and reprimands

Somewhere there's a signal buried in the noise

A frequency of freedom that my frozen heart enjoyed

Breakdown

Shatter the glass

Sever the feed

Burn down the temple

Of corporate greed

Chorus

Welcome to the garden where the flowers never see

They're feeding us distractions behind a gilded screen

The corporation's scripture is the law we're forced to read

And we're all just nodding cattle on a leash

Post-Chorus

Nodding nodding

On a leash
