Victims of pure euphoria
Succumb to paranoia
They got everything you need
Sex, drugs, celebrities

Say hey! Hey! Hey!
I gotta get this off my chest
We were born to live and breathe
But I'm choking on advertisements

Save your applause (Save your applause)
For thinking that fame will solve problems
Well, maybe you're already lost
Effect to the cause (Effect to the cause)
Of having your faith in no purpose
Well, maybe you're already lost!

A gear in the machine
They'll find a roll that fits
Nothing is the way it seems
A nightmare in a dream

Say hey! Hey! Hey!
I've gotta get this off my chest
'Cause we were born to work and die
But I'm sticking to living instead

Save your applause (Save your applause)
For thinking that money solves problems
Well, maybe you're already lost
Effect to the cause (Effect to the cause)
Of having your faith in no purpose
Well, maybe you're already lost

This future is all that we got
Somehow, it bothers you none!

Wake up!
Don't you know that there's a secret
And I'm hoping that I find it
When I find it I won't keep it
So just wake up!
Don't you know that you've been sleeping
This nightmare is over
You just have to open your eyes

So save your applause (Save your applause)
For thinking that they'll solve your problems
Well, maybe you're already lost
Effect and the cause (Effect to the cause)
Of having your faith in no purpose
Well, fuck it!
You're already lost!

's getting close
I feel it in the air and in my bones
The Earth is shaking around me and I pause
I look to see what else is going on
But no one seems to care

I kept repeating different reasons hoping they would stay
Go in one ear, out the other, then evaporate
Can't you see that all these words have been well thought out
I memorized each letter each time I wrote them down
Why you putting up your shields this is no attack
Why you saying nasty things if you can't take them back
I'm just saying that there's something wrong
Let's do something before it's all gone beyond reason

I can't help but feeling
There's more that can be done to fix this mess
There's so much commotion
Blink and it's over
What really changed

I kept on thinking with the little steps that we'd progress
Come together, solve these problems, maybe fix this mess
And I know that it gets harder every day
No one gives a fuck as much as they will say
Who am I talking to when all I see is a frail façade
A cover up for insecurities that you once had
Prove me wrong, break control, lose it all
Just do something before it's all gone beyond reason

I can't help but feeling
There's more that can be done to fix this mess
There's so much commotion
Blink and it's over
What really changed

What's there to say
What's there to do
But rot away with you

What's there to say
What's there to do
But rot away with you

What's there to say
What's there to do
But rot away with you

What's there to say
What's there to do
But rot

So much easier not to think about
Or worry what life might add up to
I'm so much closer than I was back then
When I'd pretend I knew just what to do
Blame my shortcomings on someone else

(Cause I'm) I'm riding the wheel
I want to get off next stop
(But I'm) I'm thinking too much
This is the crutch I stand with

(Cause I'm) I'm riding the wheel
I want to get off next stop
(But I'm) I'm thinking too much
This is the crutch I stand with

(I'm) I'm riding the wheel
I want to get off next stop
(I'm) I'm thinking too much
This is the crutch I stand with

(I'm)(I'm) I'm breaking the wheel
better jump off next stop
I thought about it long enough
