Cold Reality

If you truly believe that the good die young

Why do you think we’re still here?

We’re falling further and further from all the simple truths

From the ones that we held dear

Disappointment and despair flood the streets

There’s no high ground I can see

Eventually, we’ll drown. We’re all tethered to

This cold reality

We’re controlled by common criminals

Lying and killing in the service of the charlatans

Seated at the right hand of a glorified thief

Taking everything that’s left from the beggars’ hands

We know the answers to the questions

But we will never understand the reasons why

We’ve been stranded in the cold and left to rot

I paid my debt to the collector

But God knows I’m never getting mine

Divided we stand, united we fall

Divided we stand, just to kill them all

In the land of the free, we’re all still enslaved

This is not what we came here for

This is not what we came here for

Ten thousand years, and nothing has changed

The world moves on, but we’re resigned to stay the same

We’ll never change
