Sycophantic Songtext
von Born With Open Eyes

Signs of vanity reflect in this fake reality
A persuasion to ourselves that we are larger than life
The illusion we are omnipresent

Like a double tap of a trigger, digital bullets are fired
Inflating our egos and feeding our worth
Welcome to the presentation

This slight of hand, those watchful eyes
Sycophantic images that can all be denied
The falsehoods we present aren′t what they seem


Our eyes glued to our screens, hypnotized by their enchanting gleam
We control what we want others to see
This cancerous behavior, pray to your digital savior
Perfections only a post away

True life lost in static
Existence digitized
Our lives given meaning through other people's eyes
True life lost in static
Existence digitized
Our lives given meaning through other people′s eyes

This slight of hand, those watchful eyes
Sycophantic images that can all be denied
Free your mind
Power down and pull the plug
