lyrics

what've we gotten out of this, open your eyes
no sky no sun, something despised
we're cellophane wrapped in the valley of lost souls
we're screaming out loud for our emaciated world
we're just wasting time, we've been left behind
we're cellophane wrapped, in the valley of lost souls
we're screaming out loud for our emaciated souls

last chance there taking over, planting thoughts inside our head
its just a fantasy, our collective destiny, when we're stripped of our autonomy
there's nothing left
we're as good as dead
bury us

welcome to the gilded age, we've failed to do anything
a sense of sadness in her eyes, we look up to the ones that we despise

medicated, distracted, exhausted, reactive
apathetic to each others needs, just the way they want us to be

last chance there taking over, planting thoughts inside our head
its just a fantasy, our collective destiny, when we're stripped of our autonomy
there's nothing left
we're as good as dead
bury us
