lyrics

Drag me underneath, pulling teeth, kicking screaming. Please, it can't be this easy just to smother me when honestly, I need some consistency. Just going back and forth between all the things keeping me buried.

Try to keep my head down and stay inside my lane, but as it all gets worse at every single turn, you get accustomed to the pain.

Let ‘em claw. Let ‘em scratch as they fight for the fucking scraps.
Let ‘em pray and beg and think that you know best.
Let ‘em line up and confess as you take what little’s left,
as you lead us to our death in more pointless wars that don’t make sense.

Drag me underneath lock and key, stuck in the American dream.
I pray to god on my knees, and I beg him to take this thorn from me.
Are we all really ok with less?
Do we feel like we deserve this?
It's just thoughts and prayers to a silent god and the leaders who forgot us.

There is no karma, no justice, just the level of shit we put up with.
Not a promise, just a sales pitch, so you can gut us and stay rich.
We’re all gutted. Make a new stitch

All hail to the gods over a broken people. We’re born to be enslaved, and we're all fearful and hateful. If I were you I'd be embarrassed to say that the world that I made was such a broken and pathetic waste.
