Counterfeit Lyrics by The Northern

Cloudburst

0

Fighting a world that never gave a damn
Spit on the weak, they’ll kick us while we’re down
Medicated until our brains go numb
Spoon fed, brain dead
We’ve lost all self-control
Programmed to hate, fueled by greed
Inflicting pain
We choose to cheat, lie, and beat
Steal from the poor, there’s nothing to spare
Please sir, may I have some more?
Locked in one dimensional perceptions
(How does that make you feel?)
Validated? Pissed off? Indifferent?
Disappointed...
Disappointment feeds anxiety
So run away, run away for our lives
Objectifying the world around us
Single-minded and dumbfounded
We choose to suffer
Depleting energies
Failure to communicate
We choose to suffer by burying our heads in the sand
Why’re you always running away
Cause it won’t solve a thing
Why’re you always running away?
Letting fear lead blindly
Pick your poison carefully
Cause your anger won’t subside that way
Why’re you always running away?
Away from me
Choking on the dirt we swallow
It’s hard to breathe
Buried above our shoulders
Is it too late to dig ourselves out
Choking on the thoughts we dwell on
I can’t see, my eyes are soiled
Choking on the dirt we’ve swallowed
It’s getting harder to breathe
Burn the candle at both ends of the day
Break our legs for minimal pay
Blackened lungs at the cost of what?
We’re the nameless, faceless
We’ve lost all control
Lost in a maze, feeling like rats in a cage
We chose to cheat, lie and beat
Steal from the poor, there’s nothing to spare
Please sir, may we have some more
We’ve built these walls
We can break them down
From this self-made prison
We insist to be locked up with a door that’s wide open
