lyrics

Apathy sedates my brain
As I walk down through the crowded streets
Alleys filled with agony
Reflecting through puddles of endless rain

Countless of darkened shapes breaking through
The lights of the billboards surrounding us all
Shaded faces minding their own
Enduring the life of plutocracy

In this ever-glowing sphere
We’ll never see what’s clear

Humanity's worth reduced
As a product of the modern world
Survival of the fittest playing out on segregated streets

An endless war invisible
Gunshots, just a breeze of wind
Don't get involved just walk on by through the artificial glow

Coming home once again
Greeted by faint lights like from a distant dream
Chugging down liquor to contain my emotions
Gazing through the window which shows the new world

Endless skyscrapers a sight to behold
A beautiful display of mankind's work
Colors shining bright through the night
Mixed with the torment which occurs down beneath

Humanity's worth reduced
As a product of the modern world
Survival of the fittest playing out on segregated streets

Inaudible war always raging
Gunshots, just a breeze of wind
Don't get involved just walk on by through the artificial glow

Forced vigilance
Everything that fills the mind
No sense of purpose
Only detachment fills the hole

Screams, whistling through the clouds of the shining enigma
But I cannot hear

A sense of emptiness
Deceptive luminescence
May the grim reality show
Misery aglow

Apathy sedates my brain
As I walk down through the crowded streets
Alleys filled with agony
Reflecting through puddles of endless rain

Countless of darkened shapes breaking through
The lights of the billboards surrounding us all
Shaded faces minding their own
Walking down the neon-lit metropolis

Illuminating gloom
Down with the sun
Prismatic painted streets (it's all we need)

Neon-lit metropolis
Illuminating gloom
Down with the sun
Prismatic painted streets (it's all we need)
