lyrics

The sickest thing we'll ever witness is at the hand of our own invention. Meant to fight infection, meant to prolong good intention. We're trying our best at dancing but we're stepping on the toes of time. Falling flat on our faces, a sorry sight to see, a sad state of affairs.

One of the worst things to realize is the de-evolution of mankind. This might come as a bit of a surprise but it's true. A slap in the face, a kick in the shins. Driven by our realization that things will come to an end one day. We will come to an end one day.

Run, run but we can't hide this time. The fact at hand, we're just a piece of this fallen card house, rundown madhouse, this place we built on good intentions.

Congratulate ourselves!

Congratulate ourselves!

Too proud to admit the truth. The fact at hand, we must admit that the egg's on our face, filled with disgrace, empty handed, self-inflicted.

Congratulate ourselves!

Congratulate ourselves!

Short term mask to hide our fate. The fact at hand, we must admit that the solution’s man made, it’s just a Band-Aid. There’s nothing left for us to fix now.

Congratulate ourselves!

Congratulate ourselves!

Congratulations!!!
