[Verse 1]
Yeah, you spend your life trapped inside a machine
Victimized by the calamity
You blur the lines, create your reality
Swear you're awake, but you know you're asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no rebuilding
When the temple comes crashing down

Hollow eyes staring as we suffocate
We're drunk on death and high on fire
It's not enough to satiate
Until the whole world burns away
Until the whole world burns away
[Verse 2]

Hollow eyes staring as we suffocate (As we suffocate)
We're drunk on death and high on fire
It's not enough to satiate
Until the whole world burns away

Until the whole world burns away
[Bridge]
Until the whole world burns away
Until the whole world burns away
Until the whole world burns away
Burns away
Burns away
Burns away
Burns away
[Outro]
Drunk on death and high on fire
