Lyrics

I want to be original
I want to be surrounded by art
But everything is digital
The formulas are fallin' apart
They riot in the streets
Because there's not enough money to share
Is the burden of fame
Just a universal cross we can bare?
But out here on the border line
You've got to hold it together
You've been deprived of dedication
You've been condemned by your dreams
Is it as bad as it seems?
And can you pull the hook from your mouth?
Do you wanna feel the breeze
Before the air you breathe finally runs out?
We're divided, it seems
This is a diary of life in between
This is obese and obscene
This isn't music, it's a pyramid scheme
And out here on the border line
You've got to hold it together
You've been deprived of dedication
You've been condemned by your dreams
And out here on the border line
It feels a lot like forever
We'll all be damned if this machine
Turns life into routine
Thieves have taken the crown
Melted it down
Kept it in near to the ground
Now they're praying for sound
And I don't know what's found
'Cause we used to be gifted
And persistent
Now we're bored, reminiscent
We used to laugh without misery
Spoon-fed our desire
We've lost our fire
And now they won't remember our names
Our days are mixed in the crowd
And our nights are spent fanning the flames
But out here on the border line
You've got to hold it together
You've been deprived of dedication
You've been condemned by your dreams
Oh, and out here on the border line
It feels a lot like forever
We'll all be damned if this machine
Turns out into a routine
We're dead and gone, we're dead and gone
We're dead and gone, we're dead and gone
The thieves have taken the crown
And melted it down
The thieves have taken the crown
And now they're praying for sound
