lyrics

light slips through cracks in the roof illuminates disheartened faces the confusion is constant asking if the worst is over a life worth living is not too much to ask we compartmentalize the violence from the carcass on our plates life seen through bars on the cages warehoused and twice removed a cold storage casket awaits you a life worth living is not to much to ask we compartmentalize the violence from the carcass on our plates we sing out in languages they don't understand the lights are times to twenty hours our days are numbered to forty five cycles and all our motives are framed by efficient output auspiciously packaged we've been singing for more that survival this cafo has broken us down to the point of commodity we've been singing for more that survival we're fighting and failing this fleeting life will pass before you ever get the chance to see the sun or ever sink your claws into the soil
