I no longer believe we are in control of this The machine calculating our death This wasn't built to last ! Our entire system dissolving fast Resolve will be our only escape As this virus spreads, we lose more love If we are to survive, rewrite history, reboot our minds We are taught to fear the unknown Regard each other as a foreign threat We have all been programmed, now we all must press reset. Reboot ! They've hijacked our minds Lay waste to innovation, they've squashed our imagination Trade human life for profit margins as we stand back and observe As this virus spreads, we lose more love If we are to survive, rewrite history, reboot our minds We are taught to fear the unknown Regard each other as a foreign threat We have all been programmed, now we all must press reset We are taught to fear the unknown Regard each other as a foreign threat We have all been programmed, now we all must press reset The solution is not in the sky The apathetic cannot hide There is no satisfaction, no cure for this disease Set fire to what you think you know Understand, it's only your belief You think this wasn't in "their" plan? This was not built to last, it was designed to collapse!

Listen while she's still speaking! Will we only learn our lesson when our desires have eclipse the earth Where will you hide? And when the veil is stripped away from her, there will be nothing left to consume And time you can't take back We cannot begin again! We are one, this is our broken home Our mother she weeps tonight Are we lost and running out of time How can we live if she dies Listen while she's still speaking Fix your eyes on the horizon and walk to the edge of the earth Should a child pay for their father's sins or is it to late to save you And time you can't take back, we cannot begin again We are one, this is our broken home Our mother she weeps tonight Are we lost and running out of time How can we live if she dies Fix your eyes on the horizon and walk to the edge of the earth Listen while she's still speaking We are one, this is our broken home Our mother she weeps tonight Are we lost and running out of time How can we live if she dies We will reap what we sow Listen while she's still speaking We cannot begin again We will reap what we sow Listen while she's still speaking We cannot begin again We will reap what we sow Listen while she's still speaking We cannot begin again We will reap what we sow Listen while she's still speaking We cannot begin again We will reap what we sow!

Your life casts a long shadow A jaded legacy The world you leave behind Will be a barren wasteland You said you did this all for me Thought only of yourself These habits can't sustain our lives! CONSUME! DIVIDE! Rewind and start again CONSUME! DIVIDE! Rewind and start again! All as one blindly working To build another Hollow Empire! Everyone slowly losing ambition To become... CONSUME! DIVIDE! Rewind and start again CONSUME! DIVIDE! Rewind and start again ...Violence! Fills my mind These days are so misleading Tear out my throat Because our voices have no meaning! The cross you made Is too heavy to carry! The burden you left Will end up leaving us buried! Start again! All as one blindly working To build another Hollow Empire! Everyone slowly losing ambition To become... There's no future here! (No future here) These lies will stand no longer! It's time to bring it Bring the fucking justice! Bring the fucking justice! All as one... All as one! (We will) CONSUME! DIVIDE! It's a vicious circle CONSUME! DIVIDE! When will it end?! CONSUME! DIVIDE! Rewind and start... AGAIN!

Thinking, desperate for answers A mind that never stops All alone the nights are cold Distance grows greater to a place I've never seen! I've been wandering how did I get here I'm so far away from who you thought I'd be Always trying to be myself Because knowing who I am Afraid of who I'm not! Grieving a loss of certainty In following one path! Break the mold Be whoever whatever I need to be But I can count on one hand The times I felt you'd understand me! I've been wandering how did I get here I'm so far away from who you thought I'd be Always trying to be myself Because knowing who I am Afraid of who I'm not! ...Wandering how did I get here I'm so far away from who you thought I'd be! Always trying to be myself Because knowing who I am Afraid of who I'm not! (Far away...) (Always...)

So take your flame And watch your bridges BURN! I'm so sick and tired Of your endless preaching But the certainty of your divinity Is about a stable as quicksand! You manipulate a story of grace Fear becomes your god Turning servants to slaves! It was never your right To tell me how to live my life! I'm not yours to rule Interpret for myself now I'm not your god damned fool! You claim the promise of love Offering inner peace! But instead of quenching ones thirst for water You justify hatred by breathing fire! I cannot take anymore Of your small mindedness! So take your flame And watch your bridges BURN! You manipulate a story of grace Fear becomes your god Turning servants to slaves! It was never your right To tell me how to live my life! I'm not yours to rule Interpret for myself now I'm not your god damned fool! If humanity is god's most precious creation Why do you condemn it to damnation? So take your flame And watch your bridges burn! 'Cause who needs bridges When you can walk on water?!

Losing endurance, testing my patience Resisting the temptation to walk away and forget about tomorrow You'll never get this far unless you fight, and if you are broken, start picking up your pieces And rebuild again You haven't come this far without a fight, and if you falter, don't listen to your demons Persevere! My anger is a parasite My heart will never justify Until the record is set right, don't stop now! In my sleep I dream of sinking There is no one near to hear my cries Watching my dreams go up in flames Before I fade away and die The odds are stacked against us! Persevere, like cancer inside me Satiate it's hunger Prophecies are beckoning my soul I need this, I can't stop now! You'll never get this far unless you fight, and if you are broken, start picking up your pieces And rebuild again You haven't come this far without a fight, and if you falter, don't listen to your demons Don’t listen to your demons! Drag the anchor holding you down Break the line and pull yourself out Fight your demons, get up off the ground Persevere and save yourself Persevere, like cancer inside me Satiate the hunger! Persevere, like cancer inside me Satiate this hunger Prophecies are beckoning my soul I need this, I can't stop now! Persevere, like cancer inside me Satiate this hunger Prophecies are beckoning my soul I need this, I can't stop NOW!

I stare into the mirror Revealing blood shot eyes Examining the beast withing! I no longer believe my lies! I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders I cannot breathe! I can't carry much longer... Contemplating my existence Been out of touch out of my mind In time our memories will fade Who will be left, what will remain! We spend our lives, trampling the earth Until the day we die! We are kicking up dirt I can feel it rise, take back control Who will remember you? Are we really along? Will I lose it FUCKING LOSE IT ALL?! Followed my instincts, until I lost Who I was, where I'm going I dug a grave, a grave for hope! I must rebuild with my two hands... I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders I cannot breathe! I can't carry much longer I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders! I cannot breathe! I can't carry much longer! I must rebuild! "There comes the times in everyone's life Where we must question Everything we think we know, and understand About ourselves and the world around us To truly discover one's self, one's purpose We are at the precipice of change The entire human race, an awakening! 'Cause if there is no fate Is there not even more meaning In whatever we decide Our purpose should be?!" We spend our lives, trampling the earth Until the day we die! We are kicking up dirt I can feel it rise, take back control Who will remember you? Are we really along? Will I lose it all?! (Lose it all...) I must rebuild with my own hands!
