Slow Oppression

[Verse]
Grit in the gutter words on fire
Tires screech scream desire
Chains pull tight against the skin
Walls are closing they're creeping in
[Verse 2]
Clock hands slicing time like glass
Every second a punch that won't pass
Weight of lies crushing down slow
Heavy boots march nowhere to go
[Chorus]
Slow oppression pressing down
Metal chains grind underground
Sparks of rage ignite the fight
Burn the system black out the light
[Verse 3]
Raw breath gasping for a break
Freedom tastes like a bitter mistake
Eyes bloodshot vision blurred red
A world that feeds while we're left unfed
[Bridge]
Bite the rust hold the pain
Sweat and scars scream the refrain
Living trapped never free
Shatter the cage throw the key
[Chorus]
Slow oppression pressing down
Metal chains grind underground
Sparks of rage ignite the fight
Burn the system black out the light
