Skyscraper Ambitions Songtext
von The Honor System

Black steel skin
Penetrates the haze
You′re a 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
They look up
Look out


Return to the ground
A skyscraper
Is ambition
And sweet victory
Is the sweetest poison
Underneath brickwork
Lies a structure of hurt
And stress points
Fleeing the friction of steel on steel

They shoot up
Shoot out
They shoot up
Shoot out
Return to the ground

And this vision is concrete
And the cities become overgrown with weeds
And it doesn't matter
How you play the game
It′s what game you play
Pulling these strings has been pulling on you
Your head is in the cloud
Skyscraper ambitions are feeding on fools
And feeding on you
