Lyrics

I can't stand so I'll sit and see what we've all become
A nation of liars and thieves, it festers with no room to seethe
Dreams of the broken, schemes as wide as the ocean
Cemetery of broken teeth choke the words of the unspoken
Deepest fears
Worn like a prized souvenir
Ink is spilling, constantly failing, we are all drowning
Is this what we call "collective improving"?
Think nothing of the thoughtless ruin
The fall is here, my friends
Foundations of sand
Good luck on your walk through the field of graves
Dead ends are showing
We've buried anything slightly thought provoking
Grey matter is our mine field, tickers mistaken for insulated shields
Carrion fledglings are circling our body parts
Ink is spilling, constantly failing, we are all drowning
Is this what we call "collective improving"?
Think nothing of the thoughtless ruin
Fuses on the roots
Piercing through the tomb
Ink is spilling, constantly failing, we are all drowning
Ink for the dances of cancerous masses
One foot in the grave, one foot on a fresh banana peel
False bravado until the end, the art of the steal
Judgment is in, good luck in the court of appeals
Tried to bend the knee but you forgot how to kneel
Gonna take a chance when you overstep your bounds
Double up your makeup, mockingbird's sad clown
Echo chamber playground, ambition is earthbound
Never gonna die when the lost are fucking found
Ink is spilling, constantly failing, we are all drowning
