Override lyrics

The ghosts have given up

Familiar haunts have had enough

Too much thought will give you doubt

And now they found you

It's safer in a cage

They can't tell you what to say

All your dreams come with a price, so they own you

But what did you expect?

Was it too much to protect?

Did you understand they had selfish intentions?

When they were pulling you in opposite directions

You don't know the hell that's coming

Everybody get on the ground

You don't know the hell that's coming

Everybody get on the ground

We are the override

We are the override

The dead don't know, the dead are lonely

A fascination fades

When this mercy execution says it's over

You follow as preferred

Now their plans are undeterred

Who can break their need to supersede? It's over

Even hate starts out as love

Sometimes when it's all you want

Maybe satisfaction will take you for granted

When all that's left is the emotion you abandoned

You don't know the hell that's coming

Everybody get on the ground

You don't know the hell that's coming

Everybody get on the ground

We are the override

We are the override

You clawed out from nothing and I sent you back

Fought to the metal, and law's what you lacked

Covered in sores - you cannot be the one

You are the answer to why we have risen

You are not the way

You are judged to be afraid

You are simple and unchanged

We believe you should give up

Give up

Give up

Satisfaction will take you for granted

When all that's left is a life you abandoned

You don't know the hell that's coming

Everybody get on the ground

You don't know the hell that's coming

Everybody get on the ground

We are the override

We are the override

Give up

Give up

Give up

Give up

Give up

Give up

Give up

Give up

Give up
