Schizm - Crowded Cages Lyrics

Before the sun awakens, and takes its place high above us all
We sprung out of crowded cages, cluttered passaged until we reached our stall
Strapped down to speed production, flickering screens, grinding gears which never halt
Fueled by benevolent ambition, coerced to think we could have it all

With broken backs, we still stand tall
While wealth eludes us grind on
With broken backs, we still stand tall
While wealth eludes us grind on

To avoid any mental breakdowns, We learn to worship material gods
They control our thoughts and prayers, feed us scraps, synthetic meals for all
Create a climate of comfort, egocentric technology keeps the blinders on
We power through each hour, never complaints merit to us all

With broken backs, we still stand tall
While wealth eludes us grind on
With broken backs, we still stand tall
While wealth eludes us grind on

Spun out on aberrant behavior, kept me pacing
Led me to stumble upon the light, we'd been chasing
If could find the strength within each other
Step away with no anxiety never falter

Never offer a seat at the table
When the numbers, just don't add up
We'll make a play to fill our plates
And make sure it pours into this cup

Try to break these chains
We're still in cages
Stare at the face that oppress us
While we take our claim
You were convinced you could have it all
