lyrics

About the song:
So, we all live in this hotel. A discussion about politics, capitalism and the current plight of our planet.

----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

The hotel's on fire
Satan leads the choir from the hall,
"It's checkout at 11,
here's your key, Floor #7... wake up call?"

And if I say nothing,
will we end up bearing the same scars
through the fear of showing it,
the pain of knowing what we are?

Oh you know this isn't real
No judge, no need appeal
No good, no evil reign
In this life, this life of dreams

It's a 50 storey monster,
we travel every chamber without fail.
Through the smoke, through the heat
check outside, hear the sirens wail.

How's the clock keep ticking
while the flames are licking up the walls?
And if I stop watching, I'll hear someone say
"We tried to save them all."?

Oh you know this isn't real
No judge, no need appeal
No good, no evil reign
In this life, this life of dreams
