Lyrics Caught in the System - Aversions Crown

Caught in the System

The vanity of the desire of the will
So selfish and entitled
Living life possessed by a digital screen
That connects us to each other
But reveals the unseen
We’re addicted to the phantom feeling
A ghost of the digital wasteland
We get lost in the phantom feeling
Given unreal expectations of the world
Resulting in your vain imaginings
Caught in the system
A social prison
Like a rat in a box
Do you see the resemblance
Fall deeper
Into the egotistical sea
So misunderstood
And full of conceit
Impractical standards
Mental fractures
Damage inflicted
Creating the resistance
Put a filter on life
Distort the original image
No longer reality
A narcissistic society
We’re addicted to the phantom feeling
A ghost of the digital wasteland
We get lost in the phantom feeling
The sensation of the lost and brain dead
You are not special
You are owed nothing
This world will eat you alive
You will not be spared
You are not prepared
Caught in the system
A social prison
Like a rat in a box
Do you see the resemblance
Fall deeper
Into the egotistical sea
So misunderstood
And full of conceit
This life is ruthless
Everyone is to blame
It will tear you apart
Unless you conform to a system created
To cause physical and mental harm
It’s no surprise to see
That there’s no difference
Between you and me
We all fall victim
And become a prisoner
To our vanity
The phantom feeling
Is always there
