Lyrics

[Verse 1] You suffer from a manufactured sickness and envy by design Pre-calculated status and patterns of desire Accumulation and adoration, built to feed your ostentation Perpetually unsatisfied, but you never question why [Pre-Chorus] So hang it on the wall of your golden cage Tell yourself that it means something [Chorus] Empty actions to fill the time Commercial gods keep you in line Industry and empire thrive While you're dying for always more [Verse 2] Your endless hunger automated, industry defined A systematic impulse, parametric lines Subjugation and degradation, the blueprint to your annihilation Your assets personified, a product of the times [Pre-Chorus 2] So hang a mirror on the wall of your golden cage Tell yourself that you mean something [Chorus] Empty actions to fill the time Commercial gods keep you in line Industry and empire thrive While you're dying for always more [Bridge] So you can't take it with you but you don't use it now A shallow life to crush you, drive you into the ground So scared to lose the nothings you acquire Everything must fall, bones on a pyre [Refrain] (So scared to lose it all) (So scared to lose it all) (So scared to lose it all) Always more Always more More and more and more [Chorus] Empty actions to fill the time Commercial gods keep you in line Industry and empire thrive While you're dying for always more [Outro] Always more
