[Verse 1]
A circus of madmen
Running the show
Where are we heading?
Nobody knows
Too much confusion
With no end in sight
A prison of promise
Polluting our minds
Oh no
[Chorus]
My heart's beating, buried alive
Open my eyes, my soul won't survive
Dead and gone
My heart's beating, everyone cried
Said their goodbyes, covered in lies
Dead and gone
[Verse 2]
The future is bankrupt
With no change to spare
The city's on fire
A family affair
You call it destruction
But you hold the knife
The pŠµople's induction
The peoplŠµ's demise
Oh no
[Chorus]
My heart's beating, buried alive
Open my eyes, my soul won't survive
Dead and gone
My heart's beating, everyone cried
Said their goodbyes, covered in lies
Dead and gone, so gone
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Hungry as vultures
Craving the thrown
Posing for pictures
Then eating your own
Raising our voices
Feed the machine
They're coming to save us
But watching us bleed
Oh no
[Chorus]
My heart's beating, buried alive
Open my eyes, my soul won't survive
Dead and gone
My heart's beating, everyone cried
Said their goodbyes, covered in lies
Dead and gone
[Post-Chorus]
Dead and gone forever, baby
Dead and gone forever
Dead and gone
Dead and gone forever, baby
Dead and gone forever
Dead and gone, so gone
