"Collapse" lyrics

"Collapse"

Tell me what you want me to see
(There's no remedy) The moment has come when everything falls apart
(Toxic legacy) Is our heritage just a guide for our next scar?

All those obvious lies are making me sick
I can't predict the mistakes of your next step
Once set in motion, impossible to stop
You can ignore the grievances but sometimes it is too late, it's going to escalate
Paralyzed by the vicious mass of indifference
How is it possible to get out of this self-imposed prison of ignorance?

The last breath you get, but still longing for the crown
This concrete waterfall won't stop dragging us down
More and more, life feels like a countdown
Black raindrops are falling down till we drown

What will dreams be made of when there's nothing left to wish for?
This path is doomed to failure
Don't deny it or become a liar

Creating nightmares that only haunt the innocent
But just move on, pretend that there is nothing wrong
All you get is a ticket to oblivion

I will no longer put up with this, will you?
If we don't fight back, who will?
So tell me now, is it even worth it?

Evil takes a new shape, destruction must cease
Even in your dreams you can't find peace
Not even in your fuckin' grave
No one will be safe

The black clouds will never disappear

Hanging by a thread, you pull the last string
You have been warned but you're still too close to the sun
Your wings are melting, dripping down to the ground
Remains will never be found

The last breath you get, but still longing for the crown
This concrete waterfall won't stop dragging us down
More and more, life feels like a countdown
Black raindrops are falling down till we drown

The cold smoke of greed filling your lungs
Everything is collapsing 'cause enough is enough

Now we reached the point where we can't run away
Here we are, wishing it was just a nightmare
