lyrics

They always hide in plain sight
Laughing behind our backs
Moving furniture and mixing cocktails
And threatening our habitats
A group of vultures picking off
The scattered flesh from our hands
Us never rising to temptation
And never meeting their demands

And what am I supposed to fear
It's just a million other donkeys
Spitting verse in my ear
They won't hear
And they're running out of time

I can see
A way out of here
It's time to fight
Or grow old in fear
I've crossed the void
And seen the truth
They hide behind the noise
It's falling fast
This arrogance will never last

This city sleeps fifteen hours a day
And it just uses and abuses
Though it doesn't know your name
And it's breaking my spirit
And it's making me weak
And all the people looking up
Just can't hide their relief

And as I sit trapped in this hole
You're my reason to stand up
You're the light in my soul
And you hold
My salvation in your hands

I can see
A way out of here
It's time to fight
Or grow old in fear
I've crossed the void
And seen the truth
They hide behind the noise
It's falling fast
This arrogance will never last
