A Castle of Rats Lyrics

So there’s this castle of rats
I mean a million of them
Butchering each other
As they try to get a window open
Burying the new dead beneath the old dead
Squeezing through any crack in the wall bigger than their own head

And this castle of rats
Is worse than all that there is
And anything in this world can make you go back
There isn’t any meaning in the metaphor
I’m weaving a series of words that i heard anymore
And the more that i repeat them
And it’s 1, 2, 3, deep breath and hold it
3, 2, 1, and let it go
I keep crawling onwards even though there’s no road
Cut your knees to shit don’t scream just hold it woahNana nanana na
Nana nanana na
Nana nanana na na naThey say that history repeats itself in cycles
Well i could walk you through the next 10 years with my eyes closed
Empires rising to scrape the sky
Then wondering why when the sky falls
It leaves a crater a mile wideShit, fuck, goddamnit i’m tongue tied
Struck dumb by the notion of another nation in decline
No toll(?) for the gas(?) oh
Go straight to the back of the bread line
Keep going to work, keep paying your rent
Please, keep buying your TVsI’m the free(?) release
Keep voting for people that don’t give a fuck if you freeze to death in the streets
Keep feeding your species, to the high priests
To the beasts and pray
That you’re big enough in your life to maybe afford a coffin one day
Oh, you’ll be a well end slave
To the global [?], god save the economy, woah-
Sorry what’s that
[?] a notification from the state sanctioned anxiety appOkay
Apparently people who suffer from panic attacks resembling mine
Are 7 to 9 times more likely of committing a crime along the lines of
Going on strike
Being a nuisance
Distracting the workforce
Radical discourse in a public space
Holding the people to blame for the state of this place
I kinda prefer the decisions they make
And if all else fails
If there’s no other recourse
Taking the recourses we desperately need
From the people that hoard them, by forceAnd so i have been prescribed a guided meditation
To be completed 3 times a day or receive a formal citation1, 2, 3, deep breath and hold it
3, 2, 1, and let it go
Keep crawling onwards even though there’s no road
Cut your knees to shit don’t scream just hold it1, 2, 3, deep breath and hold it
3, 2, 1, and let it go
Keep crawling onwards even though there’s no road
Cut your knees to shit don’t scream just hold it
Oh nana nanana na na na
Nana nanana na
Nana nanana na
Nana nanana na na na
I said oh, oh
Oh ma nananaYeah, something like that, i don’t know
