[Verse 1]

We bend over backwards for psychos and cowards

They're calling out for togetherness, but bitterness is imminent

And you can't fight the dissonance, the sycophants have twisted this, But we gotta make it out alive!

All your pleas for unity, will fall apart, just wait and see

And I'll be here to point the finger and say I told you so!

Faceless disgraces, defenseless, forsaken, it's ours for the taking

So we'll burn it down!


[Pre Chorus]

Collapse the system, don't ask for forgiveness. Accept what we're given? I'd rather be dead


[Verse 2]

We've fallen so far and I don't see a comeback

We've thrown away what made us stronger all along

And now it's gone and I can see that this was wrong, and carrion is all we've got, but I'm gonna make it out alive!

All you see is vanity, insanity, and tragedy

So I'll be here to point the finger and scream I told you so!

Faceless disgraces, defenseless, forsaken, it's ours for the taking

So I'll burn it down


[Pre Chorus]

Collapse the system, don't ask for forgiveness. Accept what we're given? I'd rather be dead


[Bridge]

I've fallen in hate with your victim mentality your lack of reality

It's goddamn insanity, BURN IT DOWN!


[Chorus]

No rest until it's over, hopeless, with no composure

Collapse the system, don't ask for forgiveness

Accept what we're given? I'd rather be dead!

No rest until it's over, hopeless, with no composure

Collapse the system, don't ask for forgiveness

Accept what we're given? I'd rather be dead!


[Verse 3]

We fought through a war and it all made us weaker

The segregated ones are hated, smiles are laced with accusations

On their faces, nothing changes, I'll erase this, quick and painless

I'm about to make you famous!

All you see is vanity, insanity, and tragedy

So I'll be here to point the finger and scream I told you so

Faceless disgraces, defenseless, forsaken, it's ours for the taking

So I'll burn it down!


[Chorus]

No rest until it's over, hopeless, with no composure

Growing ever closer to throwing the future


[Brisge]

I've fallen in hate with your victim mentality

Your lack of reality, it's goddamn insanity, BURN IT DOWN
