I'm looking down at shaking hands
They belong to a different man
He's changing fast and I've been thinking
About this place and all its demons
So much to gain, so much to lose
Different paths that we must choose
You weren't there but I hope you know
Holding on hurts more than letting go
Sometimes holding on hurts more than letting go
I've been there before and now I know
Now after all we've seen
Through veils of apathy
We try to gain new ground
And watch our demons drown
Control slips through the cracks
I feel myself detach
Time can't heal every wound
When the contagion is you
This rotted heart inside a cage
Beating hard and bound in chains
Hatred flows through arteries
Colder blood and hardened veins
Although alike, we're not the same
No choices left but to change
I see in you what I can't become
Holding on hurts more than letting go
Sometimes holding on hurts more than letting go
The only way to heal is to let go
Now after all we've seen
Through veils of apathy
We try to gain new ground
And watch our demons drown
Control slips through the cracks
I feel myself detach
Time can't heal every wound
When the contagion is you
There's no cure
When the contagion is you
Time, searching for the answers
Can't cut away the cancer
Heal, wounds still open
I'm here, barely fucking coping
I need to just let go
Can't look into the rearview
Hold you up any longer
If it doesn't make me stronger
Sometimes holding on hurts more than letting go
Letting go
There's no cure
When the contagion is you
Now after all we've seen
Through veils of apathy
We try to gain new ground
And watch our demons drown
Control slips through the cracks
I feel myself detach
Time can't heal every wound
When the contagion is you
Now after all we've seen
Through veils of apathy
We try to gain new ground
And watch our demons drown
Control slips through the cracks
I feel myself detach
Time can't heal every wound
When the contagion is you
