It Ends With Rockets - Exile in Creeptown

Out here no one knows my name
I'm just lost in the crowd
No voice, who'd hear me anyway?
When life is so loud
Surrounded by monsters, surrounded by ghosts
And I'm a vampire out on the west coast
Where there's too much sun and too many wolves
And a graveyard for love where once we stood

And it's burning now, it's all burning down
But they keep going round and round and round
And it's turning out that everyone around
Will watch as we all tumble to the ground
And as the sirens sound and they release the hounds
We best go underground and we best go now
And I can hear them pound, so don't make a sound
Because once we're found, its exile in Creeptown

Out here no one sees my face
Through my mask you don't know what's fake
No choice, lie like everybody
Surrounded by vultures, surrounded by beasts
We're all on the menu, it's all you can eat
They're throwing us scraps just to keep us at bay
While I'm like a lion locked up in a cage

What are they feeding me?
Tastes like hyperbole
The hypocrisy to tell me that I'm free
Born into need, life in captivity
They threw away the key
We are majority
Now it can only be either you or me
Reality TV, social celebrity
They systematically divide society
Creeptown has brought us to our knees

Out here in Creeptown, man, you better watch out
This is dog eat dog like you've never seen it before
This is like, we're like gladiators thrown into the ring for the big cats' entertainment
But instead of sitting in the ima cavea, we're streaming it straight to their pocket
How's that for reality TV?
It's like, they moved it all online, but we're still all just chasing the carrot
Running on the hamster wheel that is industry
There's no you do you in Creeptown
No, This is simulation theory with the highest stakes imaginable
This is life
It begs the question, did Creeptown turn man into a monster?
Or was man always a monster and Creeptown was just the byproduct?

Predator or prey, surrounded by decay
Will you stand and fight or will you run away?
This is judgment day, you've got a choice to make
Pick a side or get out of the way
With every move we make and every inch we take
We'll push back Creeptown until it breaks
And in these streets of rage, it's not too late to change
We'll get assembled and we'll take back the day
