fading neon gleam casts shadows over stone 
The city’s shining skin is shedding from the bone 

I’ve gone from pillar to pariah in the slide 
In seas of doubt I swim against the turning tide 

Broken bodies line the walls 
Midas empires crash and fall 
Wings that melt when we try to soar 
Close my eyes as I descend 
To the [bad word] at it’s end 
Take me back to before... 

This isn’t human anymore 
Look into the natural heart 
Following the beat of the chemical 
This isn’t human anymore 
Tearing the connections apart 
Crawling at the feet of our pedestals 
Are you still human at the core? 

Pushing the reflex 
Pressure the defects 
Breaking down is inevitable 
Spraining the rivets 
Straining the limits 
Breaking down is inevitable 

The ghosts of order dot the eye and the tilt the three 
I stalk the trinity into conspiracy 

They painted masterworks and set them all alight 
The scars of persecution always harden into spite 

Broken bodies line the walls 
Midas empires crash and fall 
Wings that melt when we try to soar 
Close my eyes as I descend 
To the [bad word] at its end 
Take me back to before... 

This isn’t human anymore 
Look into the natural heart 
Following the beat of the chemical 
This isn’t human anymore 
Tearing the connections apart 
Crawling at the feet of our pedestals 
Are you still human at the core? 
Look into the natural heart don’t let it turn to stone 
Are you still human at the core? 
Look into the natural heart don’t let it turn to stone 

Pushing the reflex 
Pressure the defects 
Breaking down is inevitable 
Spraining the rivets 
Straining the limits 
Breaking down is inevitable
