Karoshi 過労死 by In Dreams of Reality Lyrics

We’ve built your wealth up on the cost of our lives
Built your safety sacrificing our sanity
We‘ve built this system with no glimpse of regret

Because empathy has lost its worth in this cold world
In this competitive world

Smash the door into the framework
Throw the bag upon my bed

Sleepless restless totally stressed out
There are more things to do

Lay all your work down on me
I can’t say no can I?
Forget the things once were
Precious to me because

Coming back home I wash these dry tears right off my face
Open bottles and I don’t feel like a slave
The same places every day
I never tried to escape
For your own sake
Do me a favour

Take a small break
Life is not labour

Freedom is no
Self-evidence

Don’t you dare
Not to esteem it

We’ve built your wealth up on the cost of our lives
Because empathy has lost its worth in this cold world
In this competitive world

With no time to look back
You slave away everyday

There’s no sense of regret
For you there’s no other way

In sight
The days
Go by
Coming back home I wash these dry tears off my face
Open bottles and I don’t feel like a slave
The same places every day
I never tried to escape
We’ve built your wealth up on the cost of our lives
Built your safety sacrificing our sanity
We built this system with no sense of regret

Follow our way
It leads straight to the top
Upon highest buildings
You better not stop
Cause we all go down

To the ground
