Consume - Polaris

Before we knew what we were missing

Before we felt desire’s sting

We were content with what we had

And never wanted for anything

We, know, it’s futile to compare

Our culture was the culprit, we were taken unaware

Manifest the weakness, a self-fulfilling prophecy

Undermining every insecurity

It’s a fear growing deeper when no one’s around

Like a nagging aching sore

The devil’s in the detail, the truth inconsequential

The idle mind is scrutinized and robbed of its potential in time

Begging for redemption

Pleading for solutions

We know we never should have had this cross to bear

Our culture was the culprit, we were taken unaware

We’ve been led to think we needed more

Resenting who we are

Only to find that we were better off, better off before

Before we bought what we were sold

Before we tried to fit the mold

We’ve been chasing false perfection

Searching in the wrong direction

This is the crux of our corruption

Drawn into social seduction

Manifest the weakness, a self-fulfilling prophecy

Undermining every insecurity

To fan the flame, to watch your pride burn away

To reinforce the fear that taught us that we’re never good enough

We’ve been chasing false perfection

Searching in the wrong direction

This is the crux of our corruption

Drawn into social seduction
