From day one, we are trained to be self abusers A virus that coexists along with being human We grow up, get numb, get old, stay dumb, pay up, fall down And don't get back up until the Earth engulfs us whole I'm sick as a dog (one to never have its day) A taste of my own medicine (would knock me out for days) I see through The emptiness set inside of living to provide I feel it Constricting my way, my way to survive I see you Gloom and afraid of the path that you've paved I feel you Growing to hate all the people you love ♪ The virus of life lives inside of me On a timer to make myself feel complete The virus of life lives inside of me On a timer to make myself feel complete ♪ Things are looking good, starting to add the pieces I feel like I'm right on the cusp, but never really get shit Things are looking good, starting to add the pieces I feel like I'm right on the cusp, but never really get shit The dreaded optimism is turning toxic The constant nagging to move on and drop it I see through The emptiness set inside of living to provide I feel it Constricting my way, my way to survive I see you Gloom and afraid of the path that you've paved I feel you Growing to hate all the people you love I see through I feel it I see you I feel you I see through (struggling to find a way to give up) I feel it (a way to terminate) I see you (it would be easier to complete than leave it) I feel you (rotting inside of me)
