Shadow cast on rust and rubble
As towers meet the clouds
Calloused hands to hold a lover
Who withers with the ground
Sons endure the sins of fathers
As mothers sew the scars
Bitter time has marked the hour
Through brittle bones we march to death
Got a glass half full but the water tastes unholy
That bitter bite of better days behind us takes its toll and
Brick by brick we dismantle
We took down the castle
Put a high rise in its place now we are climbing the ladder
No matter
The swine are getting fatter
While the rats make home in trash and all the roaches scatter
If home is where the heart is then I can't foot the bill
So tear me open at the chest and let the vermin have their fill
Hey Hey Hey
Thriving in the bloodshed
Hey Hey Hey
Bodies on the sunset
Hear me out or cut my tongue
Leave the song of the common folk left unsung
Until then
Hey Hey Hey
We're thriving in the bloodshed
Tainted children born of crooked fathers
We're sick to start and played the part
So well we lost ourselves
No forgiveness
Built homes on sour soil
Re-sat the throne and plated gold
Those things the devil gave us
We're tearing open at the seam
And recently it seems like
Everything's a throwback
And they always try to remind
Us of what a dream
We are leaving behind
Gotta close the blinds
I can't sleep with the streetlights
Beaming in my eyes
Look forward to the rewind
Then again the history favors the ones who rewrite
I ain't got a pen
I've let all my ink dry
Time and time again
Start the plan when we're knee high
Aiming for the head
Find the snakes when the weeds dry
Cut em up
