Hypnotize / Mesmerize

Lyrics
Verse 1
You spin the screen
Feed me the scene
Tiny teeth in every headline
Bite-size fear
Straight to the bloodstream
You sell me comfort as a landmine
Click
Reload
Another red glow
Drip-feed dread like a halo
Smiling fangs in a plastic face
Say my name while you wipe my trace
Chorus
Hypnotize
Mesmerize
Hands on my head
Fingers in my eyes
Turn my thoughts into static lies
Hypnotize
Mesmerize
You program the panic I memorize
And I still press play
I still press play
Verse 2
You chant the script
Pixelated priest
Cheap confessions in a comment feast
Bless the screen
Curse the disconnect
I bow down just to feel correct
Scroll
Obey
Needle in the vein
Same three words
Branded in my brain
Every frame cuts another thread
I chase your echo till my pulse plays dead
Chorus
Bridge
low vocal register
You say:
"Look here
Think this
Fear that
Wear this"
[spoken
Close to the mic]
You paint the cage in my favorite color
Call it choice while you tighten the cover
Every "fact" is a trigger pulled slow
Every blink is a seed you sow
crescendo
Rip the wires from my tongue
Let me choke on what I've sung
If these thoughts were ever mine
Why do they sound just like your lines?
Chorus
