lyrics

Could it be, what we perceive, is just interference?
The Old Devine got the wires crossed
And what you love, and what you don't, is all contradicted
By the way you can relate to everything you hate

Reach out for the life raft
An escape route
Intubate and save these
Collapsed lungs

What resulted in us entering service?
Their promises were all paper-thin
We're all left with no sense of a purpose
No place in the world at all

Then they gave us all pennies for tears
So cold..
This stuck hog has been bleeding for years
So cold..
They paint a picture for what is means to be free
Everyone you meet is just a commodity

So cold..

Brace for the crash
Now they're in a nosedive
They'll get what's right
Now they've kicked up the hive

They'll never see us coming
