To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
We 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 you
But we sow seeds to see us through
But 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 sirens combing the streets
Chased 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 you
But we sow seeds to see us through
But 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 youWe sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue
We bring the dawn all over new
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl, all over you
