lyrics
Is this my natural state?
Am I right where I’m supposed to be?
Teetering on the edge I wait
I’m full of potential energy
Is this just a long rat-race?
Trapped— no map in a maze
Following crumbs to eat
I’m scaling walls
I’m climbing out
I’m breaking through
Will you come with me?
Born screaming. I’ll die screaming
I’ll live breathing, dreaming for something
Running from nothing at all
Our backs are against the wall
At home I can sit and wait
still as a mountain range
Watch the seasons change
I’m coming outta my cage
And it’s all totally fucked
I gotta, gotta be down
‘Cause I just want enough
A world that’s coming of age
Stand by me while we rise up
It’s all gonna crash down
Hold tight, the landing is rough
Born screaming. I’ll die screaming
I’ll live breathing, dreaming for something
Running from nothing at all
Our backs are against the wall
Your paying through the nose
While they lie through their teeth
Kicking a tribute to the bosses that already eat for free
Wasting your change on the claw machine
Painting the facade of the pyramid scheme
Still screaming. We’re still screaming
We’re all bleeding, pleading for justice
Running from nothing
Running from nothing at all
Calling you bluffing
We’re ripping down your walls
