Qualms Of Reality Lyrics - Contradictions Collapse - Meshuggah

Redundant cruelty 

Children are shoveled into enclosed solitude 

in lack of value cause by minor defects 

Each one an unsuitability 

Outside the publics field of vision 

Left to die on a bed of concrete 

While the rich swallows ostentation 

Distorted minds screaming for consolation 

The vanity of convenience rules the world 

LOCKED UP 

Who cares about rights 

SO WHAT 

If the world's a bit rude 

The PROSPEROUS 

Pay to keep it concealed 

Leaving problems untouched because of fear 

ABONDONED LIVES 

Hundreds in a room, staring with empty swollen eyes 

Mutilated possibilities 

Enslaved by INSANITY 

The belligerent ARROGANCE of the leaders 

strangles the subjecteds RIGHT 

to a childhood of safety 

NIGHTMARES But for real for ever engraved 

in the minds of lost infancies 

SHUT OUT 

From this dying world of calumny 

INFANTICIDE 

A thousand souls a day flows away with the breeze 

Living corpses, breathing lungs filled with disease 

Underdeveloped twisted thoughts, trying to understand 

Unfairly secluded by the prevailing injustices 

that pushes this mentally ill world 

over the edge of acceptance 

LOCKED UP 

Who cares about rights 

SO WHAT 

If the world's a bit rude 

The PROSPEROUS 

Pay to keep it concealed 

Leaving problems untouched because of fear 

DEATH INSIDE, WITHOUT REACH-THEIR FREEDOM. BOUND TO FEEL, WITHIN- 

ILLNESS FLOATING. SOULS IN PENURY, SOON TO FADE OUT-AGGRAVATION IN 

CHARGE...BEMOAN OPPRESSION, EXTENSIVE CARNAGE BEHIND WALLS OF 

UNCERTAINTY, WE'LL REALISE AS THE FLOODS OF INSIGHT COME DOWN
