MUTE – Glass Bones lyrics

Can't go back
Can't slow down the pace
The monster's got to be fed
How far will you go, to keep yourself ahead?
In this race, they just never stop raising the stakes
Competing against your own team
Allied with the machine
Each player for himself
Doing what it takes
Ambition's got a price, because we all want a slice
Rotten by the grain
Exhausted by the burden
Symptoms of greed a spreading disease
Blindly entertained
Can't cope, with simple problems
Number by naivety, complacency
One by one, they collapse, they all fall down
One by one, under pressure under stress
They're caving in
We sterilize
Our differences we dull our brains
It doesn't take a sixth sense to see
That we're all living dead
Each player for himself
Repeating past mistakes
Never taking blame
Now watch us decay
Rotten by the grain
Exhausted by the burden
Symptoms of greed a spreading disease
Blindly entertained
Can't cope, with simple problems
Number by naivety, complacency
One by one, they collapse, they all fall down
One by one, under pressure under stress
They're caving in
You can't deny all the signs of a system that has failed
I can't deny all the signs of a system that has failed
You can't deny all the signs of a system that has failed
I can't deny all the signs of a system that has failed, with me
Rotten by the grain
Exhausted by the burden
Symptoms of greed a spreading disease
A spreading disease
