lyrics

Relentlessly, we run faster, we dig deeper and hallow out
The train passes; we travel safe
There’s lesser sleep, no lullabies

Our western fate, their judging eyes
The sunrise gap, look at it
Day after day, it vanishes, choked by idleness

I don’t want a blinker hood
Deeper, younger, quicker

Deeper goes in the lie we live
Deeper, younger, quicker

Relentlessly, we play it safe
Wolves take control
With composure and wine power
Safely numb
Unknowingly, I go to sleep
Smothered and unaware

Now I see with blood shot eyes
We look but don’t realize

Deeper goes in the lie we live
Deeper, younger, quicker
