Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This farce, our freedom
A freedom to consume
Never enough, never mind
The scars we leave behind
Our kin, paranoid and addicted
To longing, desire, a moment's reprieve
Entombed in bliss, falling asleep at the wheel
Entombed in bliss, falling asleep at the wheel
[Verse 2]
A well-worn faith you clutch onto like pearls
That the world belongs to you
That the world belongs to you
[Verse 3]
Thorn of light
Cut deep into sin
The way of the flesh
To rust unto dust
[Chorus]
Treading water
On this sinking ship
Lambs to slaughter
Can you outlive it?
[Chorus]
Treading water
You are innocent
On this sinking ship
You are virtuous
Lambs to slaughter
You are happy
Can you outlive it?
[Chorus]
Treading water
You are innocent
On this sinking ship
You are virtuous
Lambs to slaughter
You are happy
Can you outlive it?
