[Intro: Tim Lambesis]
The worst form of illness
Is  one that goes undiagnosed
Subtle  decay secretly spread
A cancer of the soul
A cancer... a cancer of the soul

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis]
We  are all dying
Some  of us just faster than our friends
But pointing to a greater fault
Won't  cure what we have hidden
I used to be able to pretend
But I can no longer hide from who I am

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis]
My deceit was displayed for all to see
The  only thing that could've saved me

[Chorus: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]
Only after we've fallen
Can we then find the cure
Looking up from the bottom
When dust settles, it's clear
When the dust settles‚ it's clear
[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis]
It's so easy to believe
That you are nothing like me
'Cause your deceit
Is lesser and yet to be seen
But doesn't that change
What you're hiding?

[Chorus: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]
Only after we've fallen
Can we find the cure
Looking up from the bottom
When dust settles‚ it's clear
Only after we've fallen
Can we then find the cure
Looking up from the bottom
When dust settles‚ it's clear
Only after we've fallen
Can we then find cure

[Breakdown: Tim Lambesis]
We are all dying
A cancer of the soul
We are all dying
A cancer of the soul
[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]
A heart that is bound by snakes
With a mind that sprouting wings
A dangerous combination
That fails to address our infection

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis]
My deceit was displayed for all to see
The only thing that could have saved me

[Chorus: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]
Only after we've fallen
Can we then find the cure
Looking up from the bottom
When dust settles, it's clear
Only after we've fallen
Can we then find the cure
Looking up from the bottom
When dust settles, it's clear
Only after we've fallen
We are all dying

[Outro: Tim Lambesis]
But will we find the cure?
Only after we have fallen
Looking up from the bottom
It seems so clear
