lyrics
like a rat in a cage
you justify your wage
alone inside this room
this room without a view
it's disgusting
how you choose to live your life
catching hands in closing doors
spending less is hurting more
and in this selfish game you play....
I just won't play
as witness to your latest breakdown
you dance on every word
inverted pyramid
comes crashing down
on all your hopes and all your dreams
all your underhanded schemes
your faith in them can't save you now
running down in this selfish game you play
I've taken the pieces all away
the song remains the same
it's just that I refuse to sing anymore
I quit
