lyrics

Inhale rotten air with the taste of defeat
from this system of competition where we’ve only gained anxiety
and this feeling of never quite having enough.
We shop more and think less as we cut ourselves off.
Trapped in this fish bowl battling for each wasted breath,
my lifestyle is a prison with no future left.
So connected to everyone, but I’ve never felt so alone
DESTROY WHAT YOU’VE BUILT; DESTROY WHAT YOU OWN.

We’ve built MONUMENTS to our ENSLAVEMENTS and we glorify the loss of compassion
We’ve built MONUMENTS to our ENSLAVEMENTS and we glorify the collapse of intellect

I’ve witnessed what this creates and it makes me fucking sick to the core.
I can’t break away from these chains; I’ve gained nothing but still want more.

We are a culture of slaves cursing the sky;
we worship our chains and never ask why.
There exists no power except that which we give.
RETHINK WHAT YOU VALUE; RECLAIM HOW YOU LIVE.

Destroy this religion; destroy all this shit.
Burn down the system and tear down monuments.
Break through the walls that leave us all so alone.
DESTROY WHAT YOU BUILD; DESTROY WHAT YOU OWN.
