Relight those eyes, tomorrow’s come and gone
Abide, you’re wasting time
We’re stale, still type into that black box
And I’ve thrown away every crumb that led beyond the grave
Ink pens with arteries, cite miseries on resumes
But I’ve been thinkin’ that there’s not a way out of this place
I lay my name upon a database, placeholder face
(Dies iræ, dies illa)
Dear lady Death, could you spare me just one kiss?
Just a moment’s respite
Taking hours at a time, passing by, we’re all passerby
Connect the spots behind my eyes
Counting sheep laid twixt these walls
Crushed my head between those bars
Excel sheets and cable cars
You’ve had the gall to hold the line some time how
Marching on, still marching on ‘till you're fried
Rely on lies, that towers come undone
Resigned in record time
Yet still so tired, do you think gods can die?
But I’ve thrown away every crumb that led back to my name
Numb stains with pleasantries, auxiliaries should not be saved
But I’ve been thinkin’ there’s gotta be a way out this place
Biding my time until the judgment day, keeping my pace(Get out of here, you gotta get out of here
They’re waiting until we’re ready to die here
Get out of here, we gotta get out of here
They’re counting on us to sit and burn here)
(Dies iræ, dies illa)
Reformat minds and replace scars
Linked inside those catalogues
Iron taste, revolver shots
Skimming past those rorschach blots
You’ve had the gallows hollowed out some time now
Marching on, still marching on ‘till we’ve died
(Get out of here, you gotta get out of here
They’re waiting until we’re ready to die here
Get out of here, we gotta get out of here
They’re counting on us to sit and burn here)
Dear lady Death, could you grant me just one sin
Etched upon my casket
If my wrath has crossed the line
Biding time, still burning alive
I’m seein’ red behind my vice
Drag you back from whence I crawl
Pretty desks and burning hogs
Inhale smoke and ethanol
You’ve had the gall to run the lines some time
You’ve built this hell
So you should watch it fall
