The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Lined up waiting for the execution

Blank stares fall from out of trees

Never leave home praying for the new solution

Sick from all the indifference in the breeze

Put your head down, you're tied up

With a blank stare you know that your time's up

Now you're lined up for the execution

For de-evolution

For the new solution

So you can see the way that things are gonna be

And it seems like you've been running out now

Like you've been running out now

Now it seems like you've been running out

God knows you could lose some pride

With an ego you could never even try to hide

On your deathbed nobody stops by

I remember when you thought you would never die

With your head high, go to sleep forever

It's your last endeavor

Who could do it better?

I know it's just a game to you but not for me

And it seems like you've been running out now

Like you've been running out now

Now it seems like you've been running out

Every second is passing by so fast

Everything that you cling to will not last

There's a chemical weapon made from all your broken dreams

With fear in your eyes lie still in your bed

Don't concern yourself with things left unsaid

With fear in your eyes lie still in your bed

Don't concern yourself with things left unsaid

With fear in your eyes lie still in your bed

Don't concern yourself with things left unsaid

Your contribution is slowing progress

You can't build something with empty promises

Every second is passing by so fast

Everything that you cling to will not last

There's a chemical weapon made from all your broken dreams

Every second is passing by so fast

Everything that you cling to will not last

There's a chemical weapon made from all your broken dreams

From all your broken dreams

From all your broken dreams
