A circus of madmen
Running the show
Where are we heading?
Nobody knows
Too much confusion
With no end in sight
A prison of promise
Polluting our minds
Oh no

My heart's beating, buried alive
Open my eyes, my soul won't survive
Dead and gone
My heart's beating, everyone cried
Said their goodbyes, covered in lies
Dead and gone

The future is bankrupt
With no change to spare
The city's on fire
A family affair
You call it destruction
But you hold the knife
The people's induction
The people's demise
Oh no

My heart's beating, buried alive
Open my eyes, my soul won't survive
Dead and gone
My heart's beating, everyone cried
Said their goodbyes, covered in lies
Dead and gone, so gone

Hungry as vultures
Craving the thrown
Posing for pictures
Then eating your own
Raising our voices
Feed the machine
They're coming to save us
But watching us bleed
Oh no

My heart's beating, buried alive
Open my eyes, my soul won't survive
Dead and gone
My heart's beating, everyone cried
Said their goodbyes, covered in lies
Dead and gone

Dead and gone forever, baby
Dead and gone forever
Dead and gone
Dead and gone forever, baby
Dead and gone forever
Dead and gone, so gone
