Lyrics
Hardwired
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.
In the name of desperation
In the name of wretched pain
In the name of all creation
Gone insane
We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self destruct
On the way to paranoia
On the crooked borderline
On the way to great destroyer
Doom design
We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self destruct
Once upon a planet burning
Once upon a flame
Once upon a fear returning
All in vain
Do you feel that hope is fading?
Do you comprehend?
Do you feel it terminating
In the end?
We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self destruct
Hardwired to self destruct
Self destruct
Self destruct
Self destruct
