Wake up to the same gray ceiling overhead Another day surviving just to wish that I were dead They tell us work will set us free, but chains just multiply The system feeds on broken backs while feeding us their lies Born into a rigged game with loaded dice The poor stay poor no matter how we sacrifice They criminalize our hunger, monetize our pain Then point their fingers at us when we're circling the drain Trapped in concrete walls that close in every day Society's machinery grinding hope away We scream but silence swallows every word The weak get crushed while hollow voices claim they're heard Watch them build their towers on our fractured spines Drawing cleaner boundaries, sharper lines If you stumble once you're garbage, thrown away No second chances in this predatory game they play And I'm so tired of pretending That this nightmare has an ending Every door just leads to nowhere Suffocating on their empty prayers Trapped in concrete walls that close in every day Society's machinery grinding hope away We scream but silence swallows every word The weak get crushed while hollow voices claim they're heard Trapped in concrete walls that close in every day Society's machinery grinding hope away We scream but silence swallows every word The weak get crushed, forgotten, never heard This dead end reality won't let us break away Just another casualty of their designed decay
