Restlessness was infectious when we began the hunt
And then we broke and began making ourselves numb
Ran so fast, tripped upon pride  
Fell so hard, black and blue these bruises shine

Sink into slumber, just ourselves we're fooling  
**** in this poison, deny that it's pooling
Below the flesh where we can't see it
Find the antidote before we bleed it

The lie strung us up before we could cut it
Claim fear of oblivion but why do we rush it?  
Embrace our decay on the way to a grave  
We could escape, but reject the way

Lived just for us, but turned out to be empty  
We were stuck in selfishness upon entry
Forgetting-we got that wrong when we left out each other  
Using humans to fill lonely voids, but never loving our brother
