lyrics

I only wonder
everything that we could be
when all it takes to hold us back
is this god damn world

do you lie awake
faced with delusional decay?
or do you concede it all to fate?

to the conditionally blind
we're all basking in the light
'but we're just beasts in denial'
argues the animal inside

so as you lie awake
battle this wretched place
ask whose the holder of your faith

you couldn't tame it once you've had a taste
it's the savagery that outlives confine
an ego stapled to the mind, the misfortunate divide
another cripple, a product of our time

cause you're the owner of your mind
cause you're the owner of your time

theres no life where you can elude
the paralytic consume
that no ones controlling you
you're just a submissive fool

if we sharpen our teeth we'll survive till the sunrise
if we sharpen our teeth we'll be here for the sunrise
