lyrics

I wake up
In the concrete flat
Given me
By this town

Rise from slumber to the never-ending march
Full of bitterness and sorrow that we spread out
Rituals and habits we conduct in the lines to cash
Tribal dances around our bosses and no self-regard

Why, tell me why,
We repressed our own cry?
Concrete walls consume all
All my dreams are part of this stone

Everyone seems joyful in this concrete paradise
Smile at photos and be thankful for the chance
Everyone seems joyful in this modern amusement park
Do not share your darkness or they mark you as the Pariah

Looked at the mirror and I didn’t recognize
Those blue eyes, full of horror and withdrawal
Walk out of the house and I didn’t recognize
Those pale faces pass me by with no hope in sight

Lies replace the feelings that I once had deep inside
Cult of productivity devour people’s hearts
No more friends or foes, just business liaisons
No more Gods or ideals, just targets and constant rush

I want to break free from this modern trap
Find a new path that would bring back my smile
But then I realize I cannot do that
They simply adjust me to this neo-tribe

Why, tell me why,
We repressed our own cry?
Concrete walls consume all
All my dreams are part of this stone

Show me your true-self and tell my your hopes
Give me the part of you that still want to erupt
Do not hide yourself behind pride and jokes
Do not let this world to left you corrupt

Why, tell me why,
We repressed our own cry?
Concrete walls consume all
All my dreams are part of this stone

I lay down
In the concrete flat
Given me
By my blood

Go to slumber after unfulfilling life
Welcome nightmares about forgotten yearnings
Alternative would be sleepless, frightful nights
Filled with thoughts about ending all of this with the piece of string

Why, tell me why,
We repressed our own cry?
Concrete walls consume all
All my dreams are part of this stone

March and smile for our overlords
Hide all fears and doubts to show that you are worth
March and smile for our noble lords
Gazing at the numbers and performance measurement

Who am I, where I go, is there something more?
Who are you, what’s your goal, will you show your face?
What’s the point, is there sense? Don’t care anymore
What is life, what is joy? Darkness we embrace
