Designer skin

Verse

The foundation cracks beneath our feet

While they're counting bills on blood stained sheets

Secret circles hide the decay

Smiling faces as the world gives way

We built mansions out of greed

Fed the machine while the children bleed

Progress measured in the body count

While they drain every last single account

Pre-Chorus

Can you smell it?

The stench of what we've become

Can you taste it?

The poison on your tongue

Chorus

We're rotting from within

Dressed in designer skin

The infection spreads unseen

Behind the silver screen

We're rotting from within

Where does it end, where did it begin?

This beautiful disease

Has brought us to our knees

Verse

They sell us dreams in plastic wrap

While the earth collapses, about to snap

Medicate the symptoms, ignore the cause

Applaud the executioner, break into applause

We're drowning in our excess

Choking on our own success

The tower's built on shifting sand

But no one wants to understand

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it?

The ground about to break

Can you see it?

The cracks we can't escape

Chorus

We're rotting from within

Dressed in designer skin

The infection spreads unseen

Behind the silver screen

We're rotting from within

Where does it end, where did it begin?

This beautiful disease

Has brought us to our knees

Bridge-Clean

We painted over all the rust

Turned our conscience into dust

Traded souls for convenience

Worshipped at the altar of indifference

Build

Look around, what have we made?

A monument to our decay

We are the architects of our demise

Building our coffins while we're still alive

Breakdown-Scream

ROTTING! FROM WITHIN!

CAN'T WASH AWAY THIS SIN!

ROTTING! FROM WITHIN!

THE END IS WHERE WE BEGIN!

Groove

Consume, destroy, repeat

March to the corporate beat

Consume, destroy, repeat

Digging graves beneath our feet

Final Chorus

We're rotting from within

Dressed in designer skin

The infection spreads unseen

Behind the silver screen

We're rotting from within

Where does it end, where did it begin?

This beautiful disease

This beautiful disease

Has brought us to our knees

Outro-Whispered

The decay was always there

Beneath the surface, in the air

We just chose not to see

The rot consuming you

And me

FROM WITHIN!
