Verse 1
I sleep beside the humming walls
Where wires crawl like spider legs
The television softly bleeds
Blue light across the rotting bed
The ceiling peels its paper skin
And whispers numbers in my ear
Every dollar born from hunger
Every clock sustained by fear
Outside, the city coughs black smoke
Into the artificial dawn
While people drift like amputated ghosts
Smiling with their spirits gone
Pre-Chorus
And somewhere beneath the traffic noise
A thousand quiet hearts collapse
No one notices
No one looks back seems like a zombie apocalypse no one notice no one looks back. Seems like a zombie apocalypse.
Chorus
We chew the bones of our own lives
And call it living
Drink from poisoned cups
And call it freedom
The skyline blooms like open wounds at rotting through the night Beautiful And septic
Verse 2
I watch as men become machines
One payment at a time
His spine bent slow beneath the weight
Of invisible designs
Children learning how to obey just to disappear
Inside illuminated screens
Mothers crying in bathroom stalls
With silent mouths and blistered dreams
And every hallway smells like mold
Wet concrete
Perfume
Decay
Like heaven drowned face-down in a sink
And left there for days
Bridge
Maybe hell was never fire
Maybe hell is repetition
The same grey morning
The same empty eyes
The same procession toward exhaustion
Maybe God abandoned this place
Like a condemned building
Boarded shut
Still echoing with old prayers
Final Chorus
So we dance beneath collapsing lights
With fractured teeth and shaking hands
Pretending this is normal
Pretending this was always the plan
While the earth grows cold beneath us
And the oceans swallow names
And every human heart becomes
Another room without a flame
Outro
Tonight the moon hangs low and sick
Like an infected tooth
And somewhere in the dark
Something ancient
Wears our faces
And watches quietly through the glass
