I was in love
That was enough
I swear to god
I’m coming apart
Cut up
Eyeing the mask
Singing at last
Consume and collapse
It’s violence
Violence
Broken hands,
Begging at the altar of the grey commute
Some of the weight
We can’t carry it
Hand on the wall
Reading it wrong
I look around but
They covered us
Covered, cut up
Promising the world if we only bear the cost, yeah
Picking out the change from your purse and your pockets
Broken hands,
Begging at the altar of the grey commute
So much so, its untenable
Broken hands,
Praying to see if there’s someone to remove
Some of the weight
We can’t carry it
And there’s a foot on your throat
That you’re fighting to undermine
There’s gonna come a time
They’ll get what they’re owed
It’s a crime
