You'll break
Take all the empty words that you spoke
You never meant motherfucker go burn that lie down
You'll break
Take all the promises you made, lost with our future
You burned it down
With every breath
With every step you take
More or less you'll break
You'll break
Take all the empty words that you spoke
You never meant motherfucker go burn that lie down
You'll break
Take all the promises you made, lost with our future
You burned it down
Swing the battle axe, swing it again
Feel the burden, the weight on your shoulders grow
Live for the gain, die being haunted by all the lives you sold
Can you, will you, would you, should you
Could you really shake them off your mind?
Can you, will you, would you, should you
Could you really axe those staying on their grind?
For all the promises and all the hands you shake you'll break
Swing the battle axe, swing it again
Feel the burden, the weight on your shoulders grow
Live for the gain, die being haunted by all the lives you sold
Can you, will you, would you, should you
Could you really shake them off your mind?
Can you, will you, would you, should you
Could you really axe those staying on their grind?
Take all the empty words that you spoke
You never meant motherfucker go burn that lie down
Take all the promises you made, fucked with our future
You burned it down
With all the lies you shape we'll be swept to the edge
No no no
Fuck this game 'cause this pay isn't worth the pain
This one thing we're taught: Our time has come
With that odd system with that we're sought out, time has come
The golden crown you're flaunting everyday will be swept to the edge
With every breath, with every step you take, more and more you'll break
The crown you're sporting everyday will break
Fuck you!
