Thousands of hours of status quo gone in a blink
Dollar signs cover one's eyes and obscure what they think
Backstabbing years of devotion on some random Saturday
None of this matters if it's all a ploy to drive me away
Loyalty never fades away, so they once said
A vigil that's built for a man who isn't even dead
Stab me and leave me to bleed in the mud
A fate far less painful than what we've become
Shipping our future to your choice of buyer
In return, smoke from a city on fire
Closing the window on hopes that never could start
Blood-sucking, straight f*cking rats playing chess with my heart
Eyes closed, collateral damage, no second thought
No care to make yourself clear and no care to stop
Dragging me down, man, I'm going on batshit
Call it collusion or corporate malpractice
'Cause loyalty never fades away, so they once said
A vigil that's built for a man who isn't even dead
Stab me and leave me to bleed in the mud
A fate far less painful than what we've become
Shipping our future to your choice of buyer
In return, smoke from a city on fire
