[Intro: Janel Monique]

Face your annihilation

Face your existential reckoning

[Verse 1: Kia Castillo & Janel Monique]

Obsession, crawling out of our own skin

Our appetite is limitless

Disillusioned, we overstate our significance

In the ashes of our negligence

Defending our consumption

Underneath a deadened sky

All hail to our selfish pride

What a legacy to leave behind


[Chorus: Kia Castillo]

Can you face what we've become?

Waiting on the tide to rise while we livе on borrowed time

Therе's nowhere left to run

Waiting on the smoke to rise, close your eyes

Welcome to paradise


[Verse 2: Kia Castillo]

Gravedigging, pull down your window shades

If you don't look then it won't decay

Indifference, we're dancing on our own graves

We all go out the way we came

[Bridge: Kristen Sturgis & Janel Monique]

Powerless to stop what we became

Blot out the sun, the ground gives way

One more mistake 'til we suffocate

No one here is safe

Powerless to stop what we became

Blot out the sun 'til the ground gives way

One more mistake, you should be afraid

The Reaper is coming, he will be paid


[Breakdown: Janel Monique]

Hasten our demise

Nailed to a vice

Marching in our own fucking disgusting cesspool paradise


[Chorus: Kia Castillo]

Can you face what we've become?

Waiting on the tide to rise while we live on borrowed time

There's nowhere left to run

Waiting on the smoke to rise, close your eyes

Welcome to paradise


[Post-Chorus: Kia Castillo]

Oh, we can't see it dying out

Little by little

And we don't know the hell we made

When we're right in the middle

On borrowed time, saving change

It's clear as crystal

They couldn't pay us enough

To blow the whistle

[Outro: Kia Castillo & Janel Monique]

On the road to oblivion (Close your eyes)

Marching in our own death parade

Close your eyes, feel the rhythm (Breathe the smoke)

An ancient debt that will be paid

On the road to oblivion (Close your eyes)

Marching in our own death parade

Close your eyes, feel the rhythm

Welcome to paradise
