"Reality is in the mind. The Party controls
your mind. The Party controls reality."

Sweating, panting
Body in stasis on this table
Panic beyond comprehension
The power races through me again
My muscles spasm uncontrollably

You told me that you loved only me
When my heart was on the brink
How could you love, but also despise
How did you learn your doublethink

Go on! Go away
I know now about the ugly inside
The loss of your human core
I'm the only one
The minority of one
The last human son
Two and two is five

"How many fingers is this?" (two... and two)
"Four... aaarrrhh!" (two... and two)
"How about now?" (two... and two)
"I can't tell"
"Now we're making progress"

Dizzy, nauseous
Vision is blurry, memory failing
Resistance gone, self forgotten
Mind a canvas, emotions erased
Becoming one of the automatons

I must be the one who's insane
The only one willing to fight
Can't you see the contradiction
How can you say that black is white

No more! End my life
I have this desire to battle you all
You mindless horde of zombies
Now I'm the only one
The last human son
A minority of one
Two and two is...

Two... and two, Two... and two
Two... and two, Two... and two

The soul is just a fantasy (two... and two)
Heaven, just a dream (two... and two)
Freedom is lost out to sea

Two... and two, Two... and two

Humanity ended long ago (two... and two)
Now you're just a tool (two... and two)
Now you've lost the vibrant glow (two... and two)
Of thought and reason
Of empathy and life
Of hate and treason
Now is the future

Two and two! Feel it now!
Make your brain a part of the whole
A piece of lost humanity
Now there's only one
The Party is the sun
We are all only one!

"The Party is immortal. It will always be.
It has always been. The Party is eternal"

The only one willing to fight
Know what this reminds me of? Tool: "Think for yourself...question authority."

I am guessing you have music for this lyric.

I liked it overall but the "twos..." kind'a lost me. You keep saying you're the only one but then the whole "two" dynamic comes into play.

Must have been a bit nerve wracking waiting for this to post. Could be wrong, of course, but that is what kept running through my head when reading this lyric.

Glad you posted it.

o... kay...
and breathe out... and relax... ;)

I’m kidding, actually quite liked this piece in a post-apocalyptic violent chaotic Orwellian dystopia kind of a way… I’m hearing heavy thumping industrial to this… but then I hear that a lot… in my mind ;)… I’m also a big VAC fan, and this was reminiscent of some of their stuff- not in a rip-off sense, in a kindred spirit sense- that’s a good thing… far as I’m concerned at least…

there’s an merging here- if I’m reading this write- of personal/ political, in terms of emotional content and narrative... reads kin of paranoid, a you don’t love me ergo the whole world is against me, kind of a thing. could be song’s I has been sectioned by loved one/ could be song’s I has just been wheeled through the doors of room 101, thing is song’s I is insane, so has no way of distinguishing the two… humm…

don’t think this would have worked as poem, the madness is too cinematic, too stylised, the images too rapid fire, too chaotic to allow for mindful reflection… but do I think this works as lyrics: boy howdy, do I ever?!

so, comrade, thanks for posting, now how’s about you dip a tow in the water and get to commenting on some other’s pieces. you’ve got an original voice and your take would interest many, I’m sure. don’t be shy, we won’t bite… hard. ;)
