lyrics

The scenery is suffocating me.
It's so cold inside.

And I would run away so fast.
But where would I go? There's no place to hide.

Have you ever seen a forest full of trees.
I've only heard about them in stories.

Where is the soft green blades of grass?
Dirt is the beggar of our feet.

The people are dissipated. Souls eradicated.
Apathetic patrons of decadence.

Show me substance. Show me virtue.
Show me a way out.

Of this wasteland you call home.
There's nothing for me here. Nothing for me here.

Who am I? What is this?
And why do we try?

The bullets fly fast to silence. Align your crosshairs.
Caress the trigger and never look back.

We are accustomed to violence. We are death's harbingers.
We don't whimper. We swallow the tacks.

Who do they follow? The vindictive master?
All of this doesn't make any difference.

My peers seem shallow. These sieve-like creatures.
They transcend beyond normal existence.

Why can't I evolve? Why can't I move on?
I must deviate. I must regenerate.

What a wasteland you call home.
There's nothing for me here. Nothing for me here.

Who am I? What is this?
And why do we try?
