Skyscraper Ambitions Lyrics - The Honor System

Black steel skeleton penetrates the haze 

You are foundation, firmly planted in dirt 

They've broken their necks, now they're sleeping in graves 

They've broken their necks, still they feel compelled 

To look up, look out and return to ground 

A sky scraper is ambition 

And sweet victory is the sweetest poison 

Under the brickwork lies a structure of hurt 

And stress points scream bearing friction of steel on steel 

They shoot up, shoot out, and return to ground 

And the vision is concrete 

And this city's become overgrown with weeds 

And it doesn't matter how you play the game 

It's what game you play 

Pulling up weeds has been pulling on you 

But your head is a cloud 

Skyscraper ambitions aren't feeding on fools 

They're feeding on you
