lyrics

Powerless so we red in tooth and claw take fire to the streets
Lead to think that we are blind but you are weak
Bought and sold unseen, taking everything
Looking the other way while the ground rots beneath

It is the same story that keeps repeating
The loop returns again, denial dilutes meaning
We stand upon a rock, not alone but as one
Each step leaves a trail, nothing is undone

I want to run as far as I can get from here
A wasteland that's on fire with people I can't stand
A chokehold on us all, there is nowhere to hide
No cost that buys more time, the end won't be denied

Not master of your fate, it's not going away
Free of church and state, impermanence remains
We're all tied to this rock, down to the last drop
Echoes from our past, waves that never stop

I want to run as far as I can get from here
A wasteland that's on fire with people I can't stand
A chokehold on us all, there is nowhere to hide
No cost that buys more time, the end won't be denied

Stuck in a daze, a foggy haze
Keeping us occupied so we don't put up a fight
Stuck on replay, endless delays
Willing to sacrifice our future for a price

It's a new day but I'm stuck here dying with you
You get in the way so we're stuck here dying with you

Nothing they do, nothing they say carries weight
Decaying monuments of yesterday, digging our grave

Powerless so we red in tooth and claw take fire to the streets
Lead to think that we are blind but you are weak
Bought and sold unseen, taking everything
Looking the other way while the ground rots beneath
