 I wanna be original, I wanna be surrounded by art
But everything is digital, the formulas are fallin' apart
They riot in the streets because there's not enough money to share
Is the burden of fame just a universal cross we can bear?
But out here on the borderline, you've got to hold it together
You've been deprived of dedication
You've been condemned by your dreams
Is it as bad as it seems?
And can you pull the hook from your mouth?
Do you want to feel the breeze before the air you breathe finally runs out?
We're divided it seems, this is a diary of life in between
This is obese and obscene, this isn't music, it's a pyramid scheme
And out here on the borderline, you've got to hold it together
You've been deprived of dedication
You've been condemned by your dreams
And out here on the border line, it feels a lot like forever
We'll all be damned if this machine turns life into routine
Thieves have taken the crown
Melted it down
Kept it in near the ground
Now they're praying for sound
And I don't know what's found
'Cause we used to be gifted, and persistent
Now we're bored, reminiscent
We used to laugh without misery, spoon-fed our desire
We've lost our fire!
And now they won't remember our names
Our days are mixed in the crowd,
And our nights are spent fanning the flames
But out here on the borderline, you've got to hold it together
You've been deprived of dedication
You've been condemned by your dreams
Out here on the borderline, it feels a lot like forever
We'll all be damned if this machine turns art into a routine
(Dead and gone, we're dead and gone)
Thieves have taken the crown
And have melted it down
Thieves have taken the crown
And now they're praying for sound
