lyrics

We're here to show the world our scars
The prospect's real, we'll never see the stars
We bang against the wall our finger's bleed
And when we pause for breath
They beat us to our knees

The capital, tyrannical
Their lifetime's work
To keep us locked in endless hate
We're shackled to this dreary world
Our souls, they yearn
To break loose and accelerate

But you're invincible
They'll never know
You're invincible
You've got to give in to that killer glow

The moon shines bright for us, OK
So let's luxuriate in the night time's cool embrace
Then lift our faces up towards the light
We'll shed our skins
And then we'll step into the night

They tried to beat you down today
You tolerate abuse so that you will get paid
We sell our body parts against our will
And then we close our eyes
And let them have their fill

Invincible!

We shed our forms and bare our teeth
Share our final dance in this place
Cheek to cheek
Babe smell the promise coming on the breeze
And then we'll tear their throats out
As they sleep

But you're invincible
They'll never know
You're invincible
You've got to give in to that killer glow
