[Verse 1]
I feel the pain
(Carotid arteries exposed to cold skin)
Feeding me
(Diastolic curdled oxygen)

[Pre Chorus 1]
I look suspicious when I look in the mirror
Swallow placebo and the mountain gets steeper
Stomach won't digest demons
One wound for every reason why

[Chorus 1]
Pills are contagious
Prayers for ageless sight
Monsters religion
Bleed me through to midnight

[Verse 2]
Peeking red
(Another episode of playing pretend)
Medicine
(Cut the feed for one moment)
Released endorphins and then it's over

[Pre Chorus 2]
Hands of the shadows grope dirty diseases
Somebody tell me why I should believe this
One more unknown condition
One wound for every reason why
[Chorus 2]
Pills are contagious
Prayers for ageless sight
Monsters religion
Bleed me through to midnight

Pills are contagious
Prayers for ageless sight
Monsters religion
One more, one more

[Bridge]
Try as I may
Inside this creature's still alive
Try as I may
Inside this creature's still alive

[Interlude]
Focus on the fire burning virus in me
Hopeless host hooked to a wire keeping me
Focused on the dangling, burning virus that is me…

A hopeless host
A hopeless host
A hopeless host
A hopeless host
A hopeless host
[Outro]
Sickness! Sickness!
Is crumbling me, born into disease
Stomach won't digest demons
Mother, please, I beg: just finish the stitch
Sew me up to live!
