Avarice

Heads underwater Looking for help at last Find it in a photograph of how we were Piling up, stacking high and shutting down But the hunger keeps digging on and on Just when you thought you got away with it You're losing grip You're losing it Picking away at the cracks in the mask Unravel everything, 'til nothing's left Trying so hard just to fake it That what you have's not who you are We're living way beyond our means The flashing lights and TV screens Selling a thirst for plastic fantasy Spend it all myself trying to be somebody else What keeps us warm is wanting more With every passing moment we give into the greed Taking everything we want but nothing that we need With every fleeting second the chase of gain consumes You think you're owning something but something's owning you Trying so hard just to fake it That what you have's not who you are We're living way beyond our means The flashing lights and TV screens Selling a thirst for plastic fantasy Spend it all myself trying to be somebody else What keeps us warm is wanting more Just when you thought you got away with it Heads underwater Looking for help at last Find it in a photograph of how we were Piling up, stacking high and shutting down But the hunger keeps digging on and on Breed Consume Destroy Repeat It's all you'll ever be (heads underwater)
