lyrics

The gap just gets bigger
Yet another trigger
All alone in a sea of doubt
What’s all this fighting about

Pockets zip lined to acres
Made it now, they’re no fakers
In front of your eyes, hard to believe
I’m so worried now I can’t breath

We tread the path to ascent
We tow the line that we consent
We accept it all
We accept the fall
You take what little we have left
You work us down to our last breath
We accept it all
We accept the call

I scream these words of silence
Through bursts of internal violence
If only i knew sign language
Only sound I hear is anguish

Empires aren’t built by cynics
Look around we’re living in it
Glass cracked with blue stones
Thrown so hard they break our bones

We tread the path to ascent
We tow the line that we consent
We accept it all
We accept the fall
You take what little we have left
You work us down to our last breath
We accept it all
We accept the call

They say empires aren’t built by cynics
But look around we’re living in it
How can they believe in anything
Whilst the world suffers tragedy
Tragedy after tragedy
How can they believe in anything

We tread the path to ascent
We tow the line that we consent
We accept it all
We accept the fall
You take what little we have left
You work us down to our last breath
We accept it all
We accept the call
