Dwindle
Falling Sickness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So fuck your righteous hype
I've had a long day I've gotta full time of questions
I'm not a product of your type
Wer'e all going nowhere-that's fine with me
I'm not afraid to stop this class race
That's set to be
No, I won't blindly follow no, war has not been won
You can fight the swindle
Or humanity will dwindle
Our destruction has just begun
You can hide your pride and split
Or show you give a shit
Cuz our destruction has just begun
Now isn't it strange how we're running out of excuses
Finger pointing keeps you in persistence
Don't you know we're humanity's misusage
Community is the key in resistance
Wer'e all going nowhere-that's fine with me
I'm not afraid to stop this class race
That's set to be
No, I won't blindly follow no, war has not been won
Our destruction has just begun
You can fight the swindle
Or humanity will dwindle
Our destruction has just begun
You can hide your pride and split
Or show you give a shit
Cuz our destruction has just begun
