The Whole World's Collapsing
The Whole World’s Collapsing
The whole world’s collapsing
In front of our eyes
It’s nearly impossible
Knowing truth from the lies
Have the pictures been tainted
Designed and repainted
Have the dates now been altered
Were the images cropped
Engineered to appear
And falsely re-propped
Are we made to believe
That something is fake
Feel good in the moment
Because of that take
Then all of a sudden
Be shown something new
That rattles our brain
And makes us unglue
Is the evil so rampant
We cannot perceive
From whence it is coming
And thereby deceived
Is the right hand holding
The magic reveal
Or did somehow we miss
The left hand conceal
