lyrics

Lyrics:

We build ourselves up in these catalogue rooms
Until we're lost in the catacombs
Of the life we buy
Of the death we choose
And it's the perfect murder

See the test subjects suppress their doubts
You can steal anything from them
They're so indifferent to it now
Drop the scraps for the rats
Let them fight it out
Keep the poison sweet
Starve the habit, feed the need

We build ourselves up in these catalogue rooms
Until we're lost in the catacombs
Of the life we buy
Of the death we choose
And it's the perfect murder

See the actors fight for the better parts
You can have anything you want
If you can act without your heart
Aim your gun at their feet
And watch them dance
(to the beat of ignorance)
Call the war drums art
They'll soon learn how to march

We build ourselves up
With the aid of a crutch
That will soon turn to rust

We build ourselves up in these catalogue rooms
Until we're lost in the catacombs
Of the life we buy
Of the death we choose
And it's the perfect murder

We kill ourselves for our greed
Our green screen false reality
Kick the chair from our feet
And it's the perfect murder
