"Asphalt" lyrics

"Asphalt"

System error, blood and oil turn to asphalt
We all struggle for survival, burn the candle from both ends, it seems
I feel the curse repeat
Prosperity and misery begin to blur between

We struggle for survival
My heart turns into asphalt

Chaos and clarity are all that's left of me
I think I found a way, but at what cost
I forget all my dreams, not just when I'm asleep
Lay awake and I turn into asphalt

In your arrival
You've been traveling for miles and miles
We'll find a place to rest tonight
Palm trees and cables
We're just passengers to power lines
The lights and sounds, they synchronize

We struggle for survival
My heart turns from dust into asphalt

Chaos and clarity are all that's left of me
I think I found a way, but at what cost
I forget all my dreams, not just when I'm asleep
Lay awake and I turn into asphalt
I turn into asphalt
I turn into asphalt

I've got a stained glass past looking cloudy at best
Now I'm a candle burning at both ends
Come get it
Come get it

Chaos and clarity are all that's left of me
I forget all my dreams, not just when I'm asleep
Lay awake and I turn into asphalt
I turn into asphalt
I turn into asphalt

We struggle for survival
My heart turns into asphalt
