Rats in the Walls

Echos of what was Kowloon, plugged in and left to waste
Like Gibson's vivid warnings, a price we're forced to pay
Blinded with endless visions, we cum and binge and feast
Despair glossed over with the shine of machined deceit

Rats within these walls
Scratch and bite and claw
They gnaw and burrow deep
We are the rats within these walls

This pen that grows around us, the interlocking chain
These rotted, cobbled ramparts and rusted barricades
That blot out light and constrain, a vision gone awry
Has wrapped themselves around this until our will subsides

Rats within these walls
Scratch and bite and claw
They gnaw and burrow deep
We are the rats within these walls

The mounting, crushing weight
And fleeting anguished cries
New numbing comforts when
The horrors cannot be denied

The hopeless reaching to
The empty endless skies
New cloying luxuries
Ensure their ultimate demise

Rats within these walls
Scratch and bite and claw
They gnaw and burrow deep
We are the rats within these walls

The mounting, crushing weight
And fleeting anguished cries
New numbing comforts when
The horrors cannot be denied

The hopeless reaching to
The empty endless skies
New cloying luxuries
Ensure their ultimate demise
