lyrics

Half buried in the quicksand
Yet we keep on moving

A constant withering

We’re hanging by a thread
Oblivious to the void beneath our feet
Envy consumes the soul
We struck the match that started the fire
We provide for the cycle
As you sow, so shall you reap
We assemble to destroy
Driven by these senseless desires

Feed me
I only thrive in property
Cure me
Dazzled by lust and envy

As the rest of the world perishes
We provide for the cycle
As the alarm bell rings
We assemble to destroy

The more we have the more we want
Trapped in a cage we’ve built
The more we have the more we need
Witness the decrease, the price of disbelief

Deafened by the noise of our grievance
Drifting inside the same loop
The real power lies in the mass
The cure is the poison

We’re hanging by a thread
We’re standing on the edge

Feed me
I only thrive in property
Cure me
Stripped down from my humanity

They gave us a heaven
That turned into a blaze
The rhythm of the seasons
A distant memory

Half buried in the quicksand
Yet we keep on moving

Lost in the motion
So disconnected
Swept by the current
A river with no end

Swimming through a black tide
Blind and barely breathing

The more we have the more we want
Trapped in a cage we’ve built
The more we have the more we need
Witness the decrease, the price of disbelief

Too late to realize we’ve already crossed the line
We’re headed straight for the crash
But ‘till then
Feed me, cure me
Endlessly dazzled by envy
A bunch of sad clowns wandering
So many promises thrown to the wind
Hollow, empty
We’ll pay the price of our disbelief
