Annuit Cœptis

Tilted democracy
Zero footholds anywhere in sight
How can I hold on
'Cause I hear millions
Crashing far behind me

We all play this game
Faking a smile through it all
Trampling who we can
So we can reach the higher rungs

Mindfulness has no place in business
So proceed and step into the ring
Into this nation of black and white

Instinct tells me to ignore it all
But I feel so blind
We've taken the streetlights
Into our homes
I can't seem to find
Any peace of mind
Everyone distracts themselves with work
And I'm left with this constant guilt

I always judge and despise
Anyone that gets too close
I sense some apathy
I see the greed in their eyes

I always judge and despise
Anyone that gets too close
But if I distance myself
Maybe I'll be alright

I find it hard to live for the world
When it's ever at my neck
The struggle to the top will never end
Oh, what a wasteful life I've led

My loud steps grow silent
My voice becomes internal
Take a step back so you can help me see
(Help me breathe)
Can you help me see
How the slaves can rule someday
