Building Our Tomb

Lyrics: [Verse 1] Every screen is a cracked-up mirror Selling me a plastic truth Dead eyes scrolling through the wreckage Crowns of credit on the youth Empty talk in a poison circle Every handshake hides a knife Smile wide while the planet’s burning We call this a life? [Chorus] We are building our tomb Brick by brick in a bright white room Laughing as we choke on fumes And I hate what the world’s become We are carving our names In the walls of a slow-decay cage Digging down while we burst into flames And I hate what the world’s become [Verse 2] Every cause is a brand for sale Blood is just a trending tag Loyalty’s a loaded weapon Pointed at a painted flag Pray for peace Then profit from ruin Sip your guilt from a paper cup Pile the lies like bones in the basement How much is enough? [Chorus] We are building our tomb Brick by brick in a bright white room Laughing as we choke on fumes And I hate what the world’s become We are carving our names In the walls of a slow-decay cage Digging down while we burst into flames And I hate what the world’s become [Bridge] Tear down the towers inside my head Rip out the wires that keep me fed I won’t drink from their poisoned well If this is living Then live in hell [Chorus] We are building our tomb Brick by brick in a bright white room Screaming but we stay in tune And I hate what the world’s become We are carving our names In the walls of a slow-decay cage If this is all Then let it erase ‘Cause I hate what the world’s become (yeah) I hate what the world’s become (hey!)
