Exile in Creeptown Lyrics

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
