Verse 1:
Can't you see the 
Dm
clocks are ticking away?
They try to fit more 
hours into the day
To see that you was 
crunching numbers away
We're running out breath
just to keep up the pace
And when did the 
  Bb
revolver start the race?
               Gm
When did the revolver 
start the race?
            Dm
Accelerated architecture creates
a manufactured lifestyle 
for the deranged
They swallow up the green
and build up the gray
And like tomorrows
kids dispose of today
And when d'you think the
Bb
roots will buy them out?
When d'you think the
Gm
roots will buy them out?


Chorus 2:

  Crooked minds under gray skies

until the ground touches the sky

(the kids will tear it down)


Verse 2:
          Dm
Cemetery statue stare into space
sucked into a social media craze
They're looking for an 
answer to explain
the reason why 
disaster strikes again
                  Dm
A picture perfect family 
sits by the lake
swimming in a sea 
of mechanical waste

And can't they see 
  Bb
a tragedy awaits?
Can't they see a 
tragedy awaits?

Tear the ground up with their lives
          Gm              Dm
Raise the caskets in the sky
        C               Bb
Someday soon they'll realize
                           Gm
Nothing's left for you and I
Nothing's left for you and I
