Maxband - Depraved

The ruthless will prey
The votes will get changed
No time for debate
Once everyone's paid
They'll say you're to blame
They'll say there's no way
So inside you'll stay
Translate rage to faves
Nothing will change
If you misplace your faith
They welcome decay
There's no other way
Cause we'll never break
Austerity's wave
Without a real force

I don't wanna end up replaced
Before they even give me a taste
Don't blame me for rejecting my fate
I'm really not the one you should hate

Shuffling through a state of malaise
Where nothing's in its natural place
Is there anything left to save
Or have I just become too depraved?

Try to replace
the light in your face
But nothing will take
The real just seems fake
The image portrays
A place I would trade
But it's hard to relate
To what's out of frame
Search bygone days
Of loves torn and frayed
But all that you crave
Is one touch away
Can't figure it out
We're buried by doubt
But you can't pick up
What I'll never put down

I don't wanna end up replaced
Before they even give me a taste
Don't blame me for rejecting my fate
I'm really not the one you should hate

Shuffling through a state of malaise
Where nothing's in its natural place
Is there anything left to save
Or have I just become too depraved?

Down here we all float

I don't wanna end up replaced
Before they even give me a taste
Don't blame me for rejecting my fate
I'm really not the one you should hate

Shuffling through a state of malaise
Where nothing's in its natural place
Is there anything left to save
Or have I just become too depraved?
