To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machinesWe toss and turn but don't sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing elseWe crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for youBut we sow the seeds to see us through
'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
We wait to reap what we are dueTo the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
And the blare of the siren's combing the streetsChased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes upWe crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for youBut we sow the seeds to see us through
'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
Look now at what they've done to youWhite needles buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies 'cause we don't live, we just survive
On the scraps that you throw awayI won't crawl on my knees for you
I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
I won't sweat one more drop for you'Cause we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insect in your ears
We crawl, we crawl
We crawl all over you!We sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are dueUnder this sky no longer blue
We bring a dawn long overdue
We crawl, we crawl
We crawl all over you!
