Raven Echo - Gas Mask Lullaby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Frozen pipes and empty tanks
Mom's crying while the landlord yanks
Our last bit of heat away
Living off the grid today
Black market dealers in the night
Trading warmth just to survive

[Chorus]
Gas mask on, can't breathe the air
Climbing towers, don't f*cking care
This city's dying, so are we
Survival's all we'll ever be
Just another f*cking rat
In this concrete combat

[Verse 2]
Derek's got the goods tonight
Under bridges, out of sight
Twenty quid for BTUs
While the rich man gets to choose
Who lives and dies in winter's grip
As the whole world starts to slip

[Bridge]
We're all junkies for the heat
Selling souls on empty streets
Mother taught me how to pray
Now I just learn how to pay

[Chorus]
Gas mask on, can't breathe the air
Climbing towers, don't f*cking care
This city's dying, so are we
Survival's all we'll ever be
Just another f*cking rat
In this concrete combat

[Verse 3]
Sean and me in empty flats
Playing chess with alley cats
Trading cigarettes for oil
While the whole world's set to boil
No more friends, just dealers now
Everyone's a sacred cow

[Outro]
Mask becomes my second face
As humanity gets erased
In this wasteland paradise
Everything's got its price
Even breathing comes with fees
In this world down on its knees
