I give, I break, I grind, I kneel, But nothing changes, nothing grows! Bury me deep, rip me apart! TAKE WHAT YOU WANT AND LEAVE ME SCARRED! I’M JUST A TOOL IN YOUR MACHINE! RUNNING ON BLOOD, NEVER SEEN! (Grinding me to dust!) – Pulling, breaking, never bending! (Grinding me to dust!) – No escape, no way of mending! (Grinding me to dust!) – Give my all, get nothing back! (Grinding me to dust!) – CRUSH ME, CUT ME, FADE TO BLACK! Your hollow words, your empty lies, They mean nothing when you bleed me dry! I sweat, I burn, I scream inside, But no one hears me—NO ONE TRIES! NO ESCAPE! NO ESCAPE! Your hands around my throat, I CHOKE! NO ESCAPE! NO ESCAPE! Bite my tongue ‘til I taste the smoke! I’VE BUILT YOUR EMPIRE FROM THE GROUND… AND YOU JUST TEAR ME DOWN! EVERY DROP OF BLOOD I GAVE… YOU LET IT WASH AWAY! I WAS NEVER MEANT TO STAND! JUST A TOOL IN YOUR HAND! GRIND ME DOWN! BREAK ME! CRUSH ME! TEAR ME TO PIECES—MAKE ME NOTHING! GRIND ME DOWN! BREAK ME! CRUSH ME! I WAS NEVER HERE AT ALL! (Grinding me to dust!) – Digging deeper, pulling harder! (Grinding me to dust!) – Dead inside but working longer! (Grinding me to dust!) – No reward, just cracks and rust! (Grinding me to dust!) – GIVE IT ALL AND LOSE YOUR TRUST! I… AM… NOTHING… I… AM… USED…
