Looking for the signs But can’t find anything The clues are all around But they lead to not a thing They say they know the answer But they haven’t read the book They have it all uncovered But they didn't even look ⟢⟡⟣ They base their reputation Claiming they can only see Bending facts and figures Into a false reality They think that they can tell The timing of the tides But they're nowhere near an ocean It's just their foolish pride ⟢⟡⟣ They say that they are genuine But they turn out to be hollow They never lead the way There's someone else they follow Money is their master They are its puppet on a string Their lives so morally bankrupt And hell is all it brings ⟢⟡⟣ They are the gatekeepers Behind a facade they hide They control the opposition Pretending they're on their side Down an endless rabbit hole They'll send you on you're way Which leads in all directions Lost forever you will stay
