The day will come life turns its back on you
A prayer unanswered, a body in the ground
This isn't make believe, this is not religion
This is ritual sacrifice of the human condition
I can lead you to the water, but i can't make you drink
Just like cattle to the slaughter, we don't question anything
Do you really think they care about you?
About your families or your lives?
Hell, our coastlines are sinking down into the ocean
Yet, nobody seems to mind
Just keep selling me my existence
Tell me who i am and what i need
You can take what is left of my body and my mind
But please leave my old soul here with me
Because the beating in my chest reflects dissonance
While the world before my eyes remains so out of focus
If i thought it'd make a difference, i would take your vaccines
But i can't swallow your lies, i've grown immune to disbelief
Do you really think they care about you?
About your families or your lives?
Hell, they're stealing your rights right from under your nose
Yet, nobody seems to mind
Nobody seems to mind that we're running out of time
