I've walked these 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 their fucking machine See, you can win the rat race But you're still nothing but a fucking rat So seek that crown 'Cause 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?
