Lyric

Piled up high, the wreckage of my dreams

Feeding the crows, or so it always seems

Self-inflicted wounds, a daily game I play

Climbing to a peak that’s crumbling away

Falling was the plan, right from the start

In this city built of lies, tearing me apart

Spare me the speeches, spare me the lecture, too

I’ve forgotten how to pray, but the applause rings true

Worn-out emotions, a temper like a blade

Swallowing the lies, the promises we made

Standing for someone, but who is it now?

Lost the reflection, I’ve forgotten how

Hey, drive a "wedge" into this day

Before it all just fades away

No reason left to hold me here, it's true

But my heart keeps beating, pushing me through

Come on, pull the "chain" and let it break

How many endings do I have to take?

Heading for the sun, where nothing grows

We’re just shadow-figures, in rows and rows

The thorns of kindness, piercing through my throat

Silently killing me, on this sinking boat

Smiling on the surface, while the filth remains

Today’s arrogance, fueling the pains

In a sea of "normal," craving the shore

I’m worn down to nothing, can’t take any more

No one hears the crying, the prayers in the deep

Just another soul, lost in the keep

Rotten utopia, stitched up and frayed

Sentimental logic, the price that we paid

Who am I living for? I don't know the name

And I’m tired of playing this losing game

Hey, drive a "wedge" into this future

Even if it's broken, even if I’m the suture

Holding all the loneliness, I don't need to know

But my heart won't be silent, it refuses to go

Come on, pull the "chain" and let it break

Dreaming the same dreams, for heaven's sake

Heading for the shadows, where I belong

We’re just shadow-figures, singing a song

Despair becomes a habit, I’ve learned to live inside

A thirst that’s withered, with nowhere left to hide

"Righteousness" is trash, a pathetic kind of lie

Stepping on the weak, watching them die

What can I believe? All the noise in my head

The voices and the wishes, better off dead

I just want to dream that I’m smiling in the light

But that’s a dream too heavy, to hold on to tonight

Hey, drive a "wedge" into this world

Where everything’s wrong, as the banners are unfurled

I don't need to know it all, I don't need to see

But everything irrelevant is welcome to me

Come on, pull the "chain" and let it break

Knowing the ending, for goodness' sake

Heading for a tomorrow that doesn't save a soul

We’re just chipped shadow-figures, losing all control
