To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
We toss and turn but don't sleep

Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else


We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue

We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
The sometimes dreams just don't come true

We wait to reap what we are due

To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away

And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up


We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue

We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
The sometimes dreams just don't come true

Look now at what they've done to you

White needles buried in the red

The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
'Cuz we don't live

We just survive
On the scraps that you throw away


I won't crawl on my knees for you
I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
I won't sweat one more drop for you

'Cuz we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insects in your ears
We crawl

We crawl
We crawl... all over you


We sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due

A judge's sky no longer blue
We bring the dawn all over new
We crawl

We crawl
We crawl... all over you
