we learn to live life
only wanting a happy death
seeing only a deep void
expressing nothing

but decay
but decay

the dying flame of hope
9 til 5 day in, day out
bearly conscious of it all
burn you soul and work

it's all decay
yeah decay

it's a cycle delayed (??)
but you know you better leave it (??)
everything's so pale blue/grey
life tastes like water, yeah

we learn to live life
waiting for each day to end
nameless victims of it all
expecting nothing

but decay
but decay

it's a cycle delayed (??)
but you know you believe it (??)
everything's so pale blue-grey
life tastes like water, yeah
