Hydra

I watched a man die in the cold
He slept in the street
We left him there with nothing to eat
I watched a man burn in the coals, shoveling shit into a furnace, trading a check for his soul
The city is a fucking prison
Force fed failure. Eat what you're given
The ivory tower, the higher power. I swear they're laughing as we claw at the scraps
\We were the lions, now we bow to the hydra. 'Cause when you cut off the head, fucking two grow back.//

See them at their worst
Another day goes by, everything I love dies in the passenger side of the hearse
Lower the bar
It's pathetic to think
I knew their souls would sink, but I never knew how far

Repetition is only failure
Repetition is only failure
Repetition is only failure
Repetition is only failure

The cycle repeats
A march towards defeat

The wretched accept it, a bleak tomorrow
The fathers of greed sow the seeds for sons of sorrow
The wretched accept it, a bleak tomorrow
The fathers of greed sow the seeds for the sons of sorrow

I watched a man die in the cold
He slept in the street
We left him there with nothing to eat
I watched a man burn in the coals
Shoveling shit into a furnace, trading a check for his soul
The city is a fucking prison
Force fed failure, eat what you're given
The ivory tower, the higher power, I swear they're laughing as we claw at the scraps
We were the lions now we bow to the hydra, cause when you cut off the head fucking two grow back

I watched a man die in the cold
I watch a man burn in the coals
