They won't take you with them
Cos they don't really care, as long as the profits roll in
The drugs they deal won't kill you
They'll just be enough to slowly pull you in
And there's no drive
Nothing to keep us alive
And in my mind
There's all that they left behind
Cos theres no light, and theres no reason to fight
They're wired to the thoughts you're thinking
You'll give them all a piece of your mind
The lightning cracks, so does the bathroom mirror
You're chasing away, the shards of who you were
And there's no need
For your insufferable greed
And deep in thought
Your soul was sold to be bought
Collecting dust, for all your hopeless mistrust
The sun is now imploding
The earth is caving in
The skies are clouding over
You're so unwelcoming
You live without a meaning
Your lifelines are so bleak
Just like a barren wasteland
Your excuses are so weak
There's no disguise
No escaping the lies
You know its true
There's nothing you can do
You drag them in
There's no forgiveness for sin
When even God can't relate
You know you've left it too late
Back at the place you begun, found mercy in the barrel of a gun
They won't take you with them
Cos they don't really care, as long as no one's listening.
