Pyramid Scheme from Sleepwalker Sessions by GregVK

Aren't you tired,
Of stepping on their hands just to reach a little further?
You must be sick,
Of turning your head from their hungry eyes.

Broken smiles in a trash-can empire,
We bear the marks of a broken world.
Silent tears fall on deaf ears,
and the steps of your pyramid scheme.

Sometimes I don't want to be here anymore.
Sometimes I don't want to be here anymore.

I'm so tired,
of waking up to wanting something more.
I'm so sick,
of hollow days on the corruption line.

Broken smiles in an online coma,
We wear the scars of a dying world.
Blood falls from the throats of our neighbours
On the steps of your pyramid scheme.

Sometimes I don't want to be here anymore.
Sometimes I don't want to be here anymore.

But I've found,
I've found a sign.
A reason to keep on dreaming.
And I will never give up,
Until the last breath is ripped out from my lungs.

Here's my question:
Are you willing to change?
Here's my question:
Are we willing to change?
Here's my question:
Am I willing to change?
Am I even able to change?
