I walked this streets a thousand times
Still this world never seemed colder
Compromised a thousand times
To the will of malicious minds
Reality never hit so fucking hard
Crushed by endless desperation, endless surrender
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps
Is this what I have become?
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps
What the fuck have I become?
Security, illusion for the weak
Refuge, sought in routine
Another gear in the fucking machine
See, you can win the rat race
But you're still nothing but a fucking rat
So seek that crown
Because in this kingdom of fools true ignorance reigns supreme
I see this city for what it is
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps
A monument to the depths of human misery
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps
Retrace the steps
Retrace the steps
Retrace the steps
Retrace the steps
What have we become?
