[pulsating synths] [Make vocals] [intro] [Verse 1] Greed is the air we breathe, cold and thick Chasing time, but we can’t outrun it Empathy fades in the back of our minds, A ghost of a time we left behind. Coins in the pocket, hearts in the drain, Building our kingdoms on others' pain. Where’s the compass that points us true? Lost in the fog, but we’re still pushing through. [Pre-Chorus] Is this what keeps us alive, what keeps us whole? A hunger that we feed, but it’s taking our soul, What if there’s nothing more, no higher road? Just a game we’re playing, and the stakes are gold. [Chorus] What keeps you going when it’s all falling down? The weight of the world’s crushing, pulling you to the ground. Is it the power, the thrill, or the endless chase? Or is it just the coin we collect in the race? [Verse 2] Decadence wears a suit, sharp and clean, But underneath it all, we’re empty and mean. A mirror reflects what we’re too scared to see, The cost of success is our humanity. We talk of love, but do we know its name? We barter our souls for a fleeting flame. The world spins faster, can we still keep pace? Or are we just a step behind, in a hollow chase? [Pre-Chorus] Is this what keeps us alive, what keeps us whole? A hunger that we feed, but it’s taking our soul, What if there’s nothing more, no higher road? Just a game we’re playing, and the stakes are gold. [Chorus] What keeps you going when it’s all falling down? The weight of the world’s crushing, pulling you to the ground. Is it the power, the thrill, or the endless chase? Or is it just the coin we collect in the race? [Bridge] And when the world’s been sold and the promises break, What’s left to hold onto, what’s left to take? The heart’s a machine, but the soul’s gone blind, We’re just trying to find something we can’t define. [Chorus] What keeps you going when it’s all falling down? The weight of the world’s crushing, pulling you to the ground. Is it the power, the thrill, or the endless chase? Or is it just the coin we collect in the race? [Outro]
