[Intro] EYES UP! [Verse 1] The ink is black but the blood is red Weâre counting cents while youâre overfed You trade our seconds like theyâre grains of sand From a crystal desk in a promised land! Numbers dancing on a neon screen The cleanest hands of the most obscene Youâre betting on the fire while we hold the match But every sky-high ego has a ghost to attach! [Pre-Chorus] Youâre looking down from the clouds of gold Selling the futures that we already sold The air is thin where the vultures fly But can you hear us from the bottom of the "Why?" [Chorus] Locked away in your Golden Towers Counting the minutes and the stolen hours You think the summit is a safe retreat But the foundationâs rotting underneath our feet! High above in your Golden Towers Youâve mistaken the greed for god-like powers But remember when the lightning starts to break... The taller the spire, the harder youâll shake! [Verse 2] A game of shadows, a sleight of hand Youâve bought the ocean and youâve taxed the land DIVIDENDS OF DEBTI! Youâre sipping nectar from a hollow skull While the engine of the world is coming to a lull Is it lonely in the penthouse of the sun? When youâre the only winner and the race is done? [Bridge] The marketâs crashing... BUT WEâRE ALREADY ON THE GROUND! CLIMB! CLIMB! CLIMB! UNTIL YOU FALL! [Chorus] Locked away in your Golden Towers Counting the minutes and the stolen hours You think the summit is a safe retreat But the foundationâs rotting underneath our feet! High above in your Golden Towers Youâve mistaken the greed for god-like powers But remember when the lightning starts to break... The taller the spire, the harder youâll shake! [Outro] The higher you climb... The less you see. THE VIEW IS BETTER FROM THE DEBRIS!
