Civil Isolation

Said the skeptic
 Born and bred negative
 No peace for the calm collective
 There's a cold war coming in
 Go
 ♪
 Please let me know when it's gone
 It's really not the best of times
 And all we've got is guided by this light within
 I'll hold us both until the smoke clears
 We're suffocating
 Sick of our society
 Sick of trying to fit inside a life I cannot lead
 Sick of always following
 Sick of trying to be another cog in their machine
 Sick of running on empty, pushing the blame
 Waiting for tomorrow to save us from today
 There's no profit in poverty
 And I'm running on empty
 I'm running on empty
 Running myself into the ground

 Born and bred negative
 No peace for the calm collective
 There's a cold war coming in
 Go
 I feel the need
 It's a darkness disease
 In this dead town, lights out
 The creatures come out in the streets
 My ears are burning
 In this circle of eyes
 Close the curtain and hide the knife
 We're stacking up
 We're piling high
 We've gone too far to recognise salvation
 This is civil isolation
 The bitter truth of the world is fucking sickening
 ♪
 Tear my eyes on your barbed wire facade
 Divides of colour and small talk
 Medicate for patience
 Dig up the graves of our saviours
 Civil isolation
 It's all gone right to my head
 Wondering why we're not all dead
 
 It's safe to say I'm not alone in this
 There's something deep within we miss
 ♪
 There's a line in the sand that we won't look past
 A cure for the pain but it's out of our grasp
 If all we love will leave us asking
 Why do we deserve disaster?
 Let me know
 Please let me know when it's gone
 It's really not the best of times
 And all we've got is guided by this light within
 I'll hold us both until the smoke clears
 We're suffocating
 Sick of our society
 Sick of trying to fit inside a life I cannot lead
 Sick of always following
 Sick of trying to be another cog in their machine
 Sick of running on empty, pushing the blame
 Waiting for tomorrow to save us from today
 There's no profit in poverty
 And I'm running on empty
 I'm running on empty
