All the leaders on the throne, And all the smiling dignitaries
Keep centered in the crosshairs of the weak and weary
But if the world was all our own (our own)
So raw and scary
Could the peasants hold the weight that all their masters carry
No one wants to step up and be brave
Hide in the crowd just to save face
Feel the stress of the weight so we taste our own pity on the blade just to feel safe
No one wants to step up and be brave (slave)
Just hide their head and get outpaced (erased)
The drug to complain is so easy to take the rush of the hate like it's freebased
Crawl to take it - live lies to make it - the anger stays lit - in the hole the soul sits
All the empty shells forsaken, falling till the last in line's been taken, and how we all
Reach out, and grab the master's hand, lay a kiss upon our time remaining
The needle is deception wrapped in freedom keeps us all behaving
Even in our darkest state we're still alive and we're still paying up
Push you off the wall to engage you
Push you onto the glass to enrage you
Make you think your voice will save you
Play the fear inside, pay the gods for the fall
No one wants to step up and be brave
Hide in the crowd just to save face
Feel the stress of the weight so we taste our own pity on the blade just to feel safe
No one wants to step up and be brave (slave)
Just hide their head and get outpaced (erased)
The drug to complain is so easy to take the rush of the hate like it's freebased
