lyrics

Do you see what I see?
Can you feel what I feel?
Will you scream when I scream?
How do you know it’s not conformity?
Have you been tricked?

The rain keeps falling as we walk out the door
We’re trying to hide somewhere save to restore
All the things they have taken from us once more

Their beauty, their fame and pursuit of money galore
Signs of degradation that they still adore
I’ve taken the pills to become their whore but I won’t fall for anymore!

Will you move on
Or will you drop out of this pathetic rat race?
Will you pick sides
Or will you stand up for your own rights?

One step forward, two steps back (two steps back)
We’re awaiting your wolf pack (your wolf pack)
Until they realize who we are (who we are)
And what they have become so far.

The pressure - it’s growing
The silence is ongoing
Who will start the overthrowing
Of our walls
In our minds?
Will it be yours or will it be mine?

Is there a way out
Of this maze full of doubts?
We’re running in circles-
It’s time to break out!

Just watch the news and you’ll see crime after crime (Frustration)
Wait for the ads there’s something “as cheap as a dime” (Sedation)
Buy all those things you don’t need just to waste some more time (Imitation)

Their beauty, their fame and pursuit of money galore (Sensationalizing)
Signs of degradation that they still adore (Disguising)
We’ve taken the pills to become their whores, but we won’t fall for anymore (Uprising)

We won’t fall
No, we won’t fall
We won’t fall

One step forward, two steps back
We’re awaiting your wolf pack
Until they realize who we are
And what they have become so far.

One step forward, two steps back (two steps back)
We’re awaiting your wolf pack (your wolf pack)
Until they realize who we are (who we are)
And what they have become so far

One step forward, two steps back
We’re awaiting your wolf pack (so faaaar)
Until they realize who we are
And what they have become so far

What have we become?
