Same As Everyone

[Instrumental Intro] (full intensity from beat one, fast heavy downtuned power chords, double kick blast, no build up, maximum volume immediately) [Verse 1] (relentless fast palm-muted riffs, thick wall of distorted guitars, pounding double kick, full intensity) The billionaire flew in by helicopter to a private floor His doctors came from three countries with machines nobody else could get He died on a ventilator same as everyone The influencer filmed from her bed with the oxygen tube tucked behind her ear She coded at four AM and nobody posted that The girl down the hall was nineteen, ran cross country in the fall Couldn't breathe by spring, her mother's scream went through the walls I AM SICK AND I AM DYING LORD HAVE MERCY ON US [Verse 2] (same high intensity, fast downtuned power chords, double kick drums never stopping, dense heavy distortion) The firefighter benched three hundred pounds and ran five miles every day They flipped him face down on the mattress and his oxygen still dropped His wife taped photos of their kids to the window he couldn't turn to see The doctor who wrote the protocol got admitted to his own ward He read his own chart and watched his lungs fill on the screen He knew exactly what was happening and couldn't stop a thing The kid did everything right, masked and distant, didn't leave his room for a year He came in on a Tuesday and I zipped his bag on Thursday I AM SICK AND I AM DYING LORD HAVE MERCY ON US [End]
