[Verse 1]

We try to outrun the process

Try to outrun the gun

There's no escaping a new awakening

Conflicted in everyone

They drip-feed us answers

What next will they crave?

They're wrecking a future for all

There's no escape


[Bridge]

I don't feel alive

Admit defeat


[Verse 2]

Explain yourselves

You're sacrificing life for your own gain

In a prison with no bars

Empty vessels and broken hearts

No one knew

That we would go this far

It makes no sense

To go on


[Chorus]

I can see no other way out of here

We are the lost in a world full of fear

Blind to injustice extracting life

Birth and death get twisted, born in chains


[Verse 3]

Well they tried to take back my memories

Tried to take back myself

There's no forgiveness for mutilation

They're caging in everyone

They make all the rules

Yeah, it's all just a game

They're wrecking a future for all

And human waste


[Chorus]

I can see no other way out of here

We are the lost in a world full of fear

Blind to injustice extracting life

Birth and death get twisted, born in chains
