(Verse 1) Static in the cranium, clockwork in the vein Swallowing the program just to numb the fucking pain Corporate code of conduct, a plastic personality Trading in your heartbeat for a slice of banality You’re a mannequin in motion, a programmed repetition A lobbyist for status in a neutered condition! (Chorus) Wake up! Or rot in the comfort of the cage You’re burning out your life on a plastic stage Sleepwalking riot, you’re dead behind the eyes Buying up the fiction, you’re drowning in their lies! (Verse 2) You fear the silence, so you pump up the noise A broken transmission for the broken boys Quote the morning headline just like you’re enslaved Building up your prison just to show how you behave You’re terrified of depth, you’re terrified of soul Your life is nothing more than a deep, dark, empty hole (Bridge - Half-time, heavy, sludge-like) The world is turning charcoal, the sky is turning black You’re staring at the screen and you’re never coming back No pulse, no truth, just a synchronized decay Watch the fire swallow us, we’re dancing anyway! (Guitar Solo - Chaotic, screeching feedback) (Chorus) Wake up! Or rot in the comfort of the cage You’re burning out your life on a plastic stage Sleepwalking riot, you’re dead behind the eyes Buying up the fiction, you’re drowning in their lies! (Outro) Not monstrous! Just hollow! The blind leading the blind to the cliff, we follow! ASLEEP! IN A WORLD ON FIRE! (Feedback explodes into silence)
