Deadweight

Can you tell me, why the rats have fled the ship?
So, do you feel it, it's sinking in my chest.
Those two more lies won't make one truth.
You tell yourself what you will, but still i wonder...

Has it come to this?
Fighting for wings when we're chained to the ground.
No one will care, if we stay here,
When we're just chained to our deadweight and only going on down.

I hate to say this, but you're completely out of your mind.
You can't deny this, as the truth is seen in your eyes.
Those two more lies wont make one truth.
You tell yourself what you will, but still i wonder...

Has it come to this?
Fighting for wings when we're chained to the ground.
No one will care if we stay here,
When we're just chained to our deadweight and only going on down.

So when you've cast your vote and presented your own cause,
But we're still stuck in the same sinking boat.
I could promise you the moon and the stars but they've been pledged.
All i have is my world, is it enough?

Has it's come to this?
Fighting for wings when we're chained to the ground.
No one will care if we stay here,
When we're just chained to our deadweight and only going down.
