[Verse 1]
I've walked these streets a thousand times
Still this world never seemed colder
Compromised a thousand times
To the will of malicious minds
Reality never hit so f**ing hard
Crushed by endless desperation, endless surrender
[Pre-Chorus]
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps
Is this what I have become?
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps
What the f** have I become?
[Chorus 1]
Security - illusion for the weak
Refuge, sought in routine
Another gear in their f**ing machine
[Verse 2]
See, you can win the rat race
But you're still
Nothing but a f**ing rat
So seek that crown
Cause in this kingdom of fools
True ignorance reigns supreme
[Chorus 2]
I see this city for what it is
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps
A monument to the depths of human misery
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps
[Outro]
Retrace the steps
What have we become?
