Raven Echo - Kerosene Dreams Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Empty tanks and empty hands
Crawling through the wasteland
Mom's working triple shifts again
While suits count their dividends
Kerosene dreams in rusty drums
Feeding habits that make us numb
Sheffield nights, frozen to the bone
Playing thieves to heat our home

[Chorus]
We're the f*cking scavengers
Living off the scraps they left behind
Siphoning salvation
One more hit to keep us alive
This ain't survival, it's a goddamn show
Watch us dance while the whole thing blows

[Verse 2]
Sean's got the tools and I've got the nerve
Breaking locks that we don't deserve
Ghost factories, our hunting ground
Where steel dreams crashed and burned down
Mother's hands are cracked and raw
While they wage their foreign wars
Price tags on our dignity
But we're too cold to give a shit, you see

[Bridge]
In the shadows of dead machines
We're making rituals obscene
Every drop we steal tonight
Is middle fingers raised up high

[Chorus]
We're the f*cking scavengers
Living off the scraps they left behind
Siphoning salvation
One more hit to keep us alive
This ain't survival, it's a goddamn show
Watch us dance while the whole thing blows

[Verse 3]
They cut the power, cut our throats
While fat cats warm their winter coats
Playing chess with empty lives
Like we're pawns in their paradise
But we've got matches, got our pride
Got nothing left but suicide
Or one more night of breaking in
To fuel this fire deep within

[Outro]
Tonight we're burning their remains
Tomorrow we'll do it all again
'Cause when you're born into the dirt
You learn to love the f*cking hurt
Yeah, we're still here, still alive
Still giving death the middle five
In this wasteland that they made
We'll dance on their f*cking graves
