Cog

[Verse 1] Neon gutters bleed a crimson glow Scraping by in this chrome overflow Another day, another credit chip burned Just another cog, for the megacorps to churn [Chorus] We're all drowning in data, a future so bleak Augmented and starving, a world for the meek Dreams implanted for a hefty fee While the CEO's laugh from their ivory sea [Verse 2] My engineered lungs struggle for the air Toxic fumes billow, don't you even dare To question the system, the profit machine Just keep on grinding, 'til you're bio-obsolete [Bridge] Brainjacked with promises, a future untold But the only dream I see, is getting old Another bill flashing, a holographic tear Will I ever escape this neon nightmare? [Chorus] We're all drowning in data, a future so bleak Augmented and starving, a world for the meek Dreams implanted for a hefty fee While the CEO's laugh from their ivory sea [Verse 3] Empty streets echo with the drone's tired whir Scraps of hope flicker, then quickly blur Memories fractured, digitized and cold A price for survival, a story untold [Outro] Lost in the shadows, a million lost souls This city's a monster, feeding on its own goals We're just numbers, a statistic to keep But maybe someday, the system will sleep [Instrumental outro]
