LYRICS:

Verse 1

The ruins are withering in time
A city that’s founded on a lie
I don’t want to watch the world divide


Pre- chorus

One step
From losing everything
One crack
From it all collapsing
Plunged to eternity
Absent security

Idolize
Devastation
Paralyzed
Decimation
Selfish dichotomy
Forced anonymity

Chorus 1:

I don’t want to force this
But I have no choice
It’s left to the faceless
But they have no voice
I don’t want to watch this world burn
But I’m lost in silence

Verse 2

The ruins are withering in time
A city that’s founded on a lie
I don’t want to watch the world divide

Breakdown 1:

Breaking sanity
Full-scale annihilate
The smoke rises from the devastation
In the suffering
Find reason to live
This hellscape of separation

Chorus 2:

I don’t want to force this
But I have no choice
It’s left to the faceless
But they have no voice
I don’t want to watch this world burn down
But I’m lost in silence

Breakdown 2:

Lost in silence

Lost in silence

With no way out
