Had they been the ones dying under the cooking sun
Picking through the dust
Scratching at the barren earth
Had it been their f___ing insides spilling into the sand
They'd see on cracking land
Their spirit cannot triumph

Take a breath
Sit back and relax
Enjoy your moment of peace
You'll soon be back in the middle

Prepare for this one
To make you flinch in disbelief
When you catch a glimpse of those
Just following the path that got us to where we are

Who are these human (shadows)
With still-beating hearts? (Why do corpses litter the road?)
Scratching at the door to our paradise (Who are these humans?)
Who are these humans?

So this is paradise?
Beyond the distant hands of the world
Here we all think we don't belong
But still bow our heads to our emperors

Is this all there is?
Maybe we really have nothing to say
Maybe we truly are just shallow and lame
And we're all just waiting
For the end,
The spectacle
Or some kind of catastrophe
To bring us back to earth
To stun our ever-nodding heads
To introduce us once again
To the one incorruptible
As she flushes us from her veins
Kills us to live again

In case you wonder - I'm not trying to be cynical
I know how you feel - if your life's disconnect
In case you wonder - "What the f___'s wrong with me?"
If it all makes sense - you're the furthest f___ing gone

They've got badges that they
Cover with their hands while they're
Bashing your f___ing head

They've got graveyards that they'll
Fill with that head if you
Start getting anywhere

I won't pretend that we're on the winning end
But when did that matter before anyway?
