lyrics

Another day but it leads to nothing
You ask why I hate this city? Well the walls are caving in while they bathe in their wealth
Snakes made of iron and a heart full of mould
Warm blooded bodies make me shiver in cold I need to get away, get away, get away I need something new

Build your house on hollow ground
Can you hear the sound
Of their teeth grinding on their backs
Hoist their heads on a plaque
This modern placement, baron complacence

Are we dreaming?
Lost in the feeling
Are we dreaming?
Lost in the need for something real

So lets use a filter on the face of the girl that died
Romanticise her life and all inside
This city turns to the beat of a drum
Turning over bones on the street
What a way to make ends meet
Working for someone else’s wage

Build your house on hollow ground
Can you hear the sound
Of the whip against their hopeful hands
Shattered plans
Trip the fuse, there’s nothing to lose

Are we dreaming?
Lost in the feeling Are we dreaming?
For the need of something real
Another day but it leads to nothing
Another day breaks
