heartbeats and flatlines

lie down

curl up in a ball

you'll never even need to crawl

strive for shit

slave to it

you're working for the means to an end

build walls and watch bridges fall

so hungry for the new next best

strive for shit

slave to it

you're working for the means to an end

does your heart have a beat?

does it just sit in your chest?

crowding your soul

taking space

while you wait for a place to decay

there is more to this life

than the flesh and the pain

who keeps carving their mark on your fate?

while you wait for a place to decay

to decay

wide open skies

a billion dreams or dead stars in the night

exploding cannonballs

breaking down the walls between you and life

it's time to open up your eyes

to cut all strings and die

to draw the fucking line

between the living and alive

does your heart have a beat?

does it just sit in your chest?

crowding your soul

taking space

while you wait for a place to decay

there is more to this life

than the flesh and the pain

who keeps carving their mark on your fate?

while you wait for a place to decay

your greed

our greed

consumes

everything

does your heart have a beat?

does it sit in your chest?

crowding your soul

taking space

while you wait for a place to decay

there is more to this life

than the flesh and the pain

who keeps carving their mark on your fate?

while you wait for a place to decay
