The tension builds
Until the threads detach
Everything that once held it together
Finally snaps
Is it the mind that kills?
Are we programmed this way?
The greatest mistake

If it's all just a fabricated decay
Do we hold on for nothing?
The light at the end just gets further away

Cut out my eyes
To make it disappear
Leave me blind to it all
When nothing matters here
Can't find a reason to borrow time
I've already sold what's mine

Does the soul leave when we finally rest our eyes?
Will there be closure for us if we don't say goodbye?
Are we as lost as we feel?
Is this all part of the plan?
How do we know what's real
When it always slips through our hands?
It always slips through our hands

We swallow chemicals for the taste
Soaking the soil with poison
We're draining the veins
Every last drop
The price that we pay
Suppressed by disease
It's all that we know
As it spreads underneath
As it spreads to every limb
Choking again
Hard to breathe with the air so thin
So we suffocate
It's our only fate

Reduced to ashes
Left to blow in the wind
Never to be seen again

Cut out my eyes
To make it disappear
Leave me blind to it all
When nothing matters here
Can't find a reason to borrow time
I've already sold what's mine

Are we as lost as we feel?
I've already sold what's mine
It's hard to know what's real
Always searching
Until we leave with nothing
