It crept to me like a cancer in my sleep
It gnawed the meat right from these bones
And so it seems somewhere, somehow, the wonder was stolen
And the truths we've held were squandered or sold
And these walls will find us beggars, liars, and whores
It's getting colder quicker and we're putting bets on who's quickest to leave
We've picked our poison, talked shit, but couldn't choke it down
We tap the vein
We taint the trust
This silver spoon has been licked to rust
If this is a test, we're failing
