I want to stand up

With nowhere to stand

We're left destroying ourselves

In a place with a bitter unknown

I feel isolated in a world that's plated in gold

Trying to succeed in a place with no end in sight

I slowly start to lose my mind

(I slowly start to lose my mind)

One day at a time

Deranged, there's beauty in the eyes of the beholder

Petals falling, our days have passed we grew into something that cannot last

Manufactured by machines

Connected cog by the ones with greed

A spark that grew into a flame

A fire that can't be tamed

We're left with nothing but our shirt on our back

We fill their pockets with the time from our lives we lack

(Lies!)

But don't you worry about the ones who are better off

(Because they'll leave you behind)

Because without their pockets full

We'd all live consciously

Self control and conscience minds

Trying to keep our lives on track

Discrimination due to the color of a man's skin

Led to die by the hands of another's sin

Who swore to protect and serve his fellow man

Drunk on power in part of his racist plan

We walk the streets with a blaze blinding like the sun

Echoed by the sounds of a shooting gun

We stand,

We stand by and watch as the world starts to burn

We stand,

We stand by and watch as our world is destroyed.
