Bled dry and gutted clean in this maledictive maze
Assembly lines are full of dreams and promises of cathode rays
Can I afford a life? The walls are caving in, again
Gears turn and metal burns in my atavistic daze
Their pacifistic paramours just sodomize and walk away
Starving hearts and hollow heads in dialectic dread
As economistic carnivores bleed the population red
Standing alone again, eternal wait
The absence of empathy, so out of date
The body will age, the mind will rot
The essence of apathy, we're parasites
The ending of time has yet to start
We're standing in line, yet miles apart
Our will to live, the fate that we share
Belies the fact that we never care
Caves of raw steel, the modern graveyard
What human failures promise for us
Day turns into night
Spirits shred and will drains, reinjected fiscal fix
Cash gods and money whores guarantee the perfect trip
Hate thrives as stressed lives cultivate their capital
Cities grow and people die as the rich stuff their guts full
Sometimes I can never bleed enough to forget that I'm alive
Standing alone again, eternal wait
The absence of empathy, so out of date
The body will age, the mind will rot
The essence of apathy, we're parasites
The ending of time has yet to start
We're standing in line, yet miles apart
Our will to live, the fate that we share
Belies the fact that we never care
Caves of raw steel, the modern graveyard
What human failures promise for us
Day turns into night
