lyrics

There's an avalanche falling just behind your wooden eyes
And your shovel is lost but you're too cold to realize
There's a glacier at your heels and it's catching up to you
And speed doesn't matter but you still try to
run, run, run, run, ...
Through the blindfolded street with your backbone in your mouth
You don't know it yet, but you're trying to make it south
The smell in the air says, "don't stop and don't care"
But you're too far now, too far to feel anywhere
Something's gotta give but won't give it to you
That's when I found you and told you the truth

Business as usual, it's just business as usual (x2)

There's a fire in your bones with its hands tied to the wheel
The fuel is low and ammunition won't make a meal
Some things you never want to learn how to do
But it's too late for that, you already stripped the screw
With blood, blood, blood, blood, ...
I've hunted you long enough to have respect
Our parallel paths will cross and I mean to intersect
Two brothers, two strangers, too bad it has to end
I do you this favor as your closest unknown friend

Business as usual, it's just business as usual (x3)
