More Dead Than Alive

The air is tainted and the sky stays grey In this city where the angels have left People walk around soulless unable to quench their thirst for riches and the pleasures of the flesh The only happiness they know is when there are chemicals buzzing in their heads They give me the biggest cosmetic smile and say boy I've been blessed Hoping their expensive suits and dresses hide their iniquities and immolation of the innocent And hope the that the sweet smelling fragrances will mask the smell of decay of what are now skeletons in their closet The truth is you are alive but inside you're dead So your thirst can never be quenched
