lyrics

Lyrics Written by Jackie Marugg, Trevor Roberts

Slow steady & quickening heartbeat numbness of chemical drink lost in the bloodlust swept away by groupthink (swept away by group think)

You haven’t seen hell, you haven’t seen hate, you have become the prey you have become the bait. The state has taken me & wrapped me in its womb. This cell of contemplation has now become my tomb.

So many lost ghosts wandering this monument of stone & steel. So many blackened bodies crushed beneath the systems wheel.

So many lost ghosts, so many blackened bodies.

& When the lights go out, so does our trust. You can feel the bloodlust consuming everyone, & when you hear the screams that’s when you know. That’s when you know that we’re all fucked.

& When the lights go out you can feel the bloodlust (& when you hear the screams that’s when you know) that’s when you know.

Within these walls, none of us are safe. No one can save you hell has become our fate.
Within these walls we are all to blame. No one will save us; death is our only escape.

Fire up the torches melt off their faces.

You haven’t seen hell, you haven’t seen hate, you have become the prey you have become the bait. The state has taken me & wrapped me in its womb. This cell of contemplation has now become my tomb.

Slow steady & quickening heartbeat numbness of chemical drink lost in the bloodlust swept away with groupthink (swept away by group think)

Shivering in the heat of the sun mind set on the edge of the brink dying in the halls of the southwest prison swept away by groupthink.

You haven’t seen hell, you haven’t seen hate, you have become the prey you have become the bait. The state has taken me & wrapped me in its womb. This cell of contemplation has now become my tomb.

Shivering in the heat of the sun mind set on the edge of the brink dying in the halls of the southwest prison swept away by groupthink.
