Within a mechanical pose
And a heart pumping a need for control
Forced to fit inside a mold

Living to dehumanize is gonna take its toll
Take it in
And let it saturate

Under the skin
Until you can't even
Remember when

You first felt the sinking
Feeling that
Something's missing you

Traded for a gun
Did we inflate your sense of pride
And did it feed your lust for power

When you threw us to the ground
You took what's ours and sold it back
Another day another dollar for this town

Your uniform made a perfect burial suit
