     Dm
The truth is like when
                             F
I am killing in order to survive
        A             Dm
I have never felt so alive
                        F                  A
I am always seeking to live and die on the edge

Life is a broken simulation
I'm unable to feel
I'm searching for something that's real
I am always seeking to see what's behind the veil

 Gm     Dm    A              Dm
Trapped in a maze of unseen walls
       Gm  Dm         A
These blockades must fall

Chorus:
Dm       C
Crush, crush
 Gm          Dm
Where's the rush?
C       A#             A
Seize, fight for your life
 Dm     C
Smash, test
Gm        D
Beat the best
Gm              A
Fight for your life
A
You've been summoned now

I never sleep or rest
But I'm still running out of time
I have sacrificed all of my life
The time has come to
To prove to you what I'm worth

Trapped in a maze of unseen walls
These blockades must fall

Chorus - x2
