Collapse

Forever betrayed, we stand at the edge Ourselves are to blame, there's no turning back We buy into this madness Waste every resource and remain mindless We stand and watch the world decay Living a lie as we're wasting away There's no measure of control No concept of what we hold We've bled our future dry and there's no one else left to blame In this mindless paradigm We can only decline Our future's being sold by the hands of greed But what is the real cost? Watch as we all collapse I tell you that we've lost our way Under the dying sun Watch as we all collapse Watch as we all collapse Sedated masses swallow headlines over and over again So consumed in the mundane, there's no way for us to maintain This vicious cycle is spinning out of control We're left dead behind the eyes and there's no one else left to blame In this mindless paradigm We can only decline Our future's being sold by the hands of greed But what is the real cost? Watch as we all collapse I tell you that we've lost our way Under the dying sun Watch as we all collapse Under the dying sun Watch as we all collapse Staring at the end, a future obsolete We're only living to consume ourselves In this mindless paradigm We can only decline In this mindless paradigm We can only decline In this mindless paradigm We can only decline
