What We Are

This is a poison everyone knows

It runs through my rivers

Created and cured by the same

And it will flow

Tear through these holds

And rip away my heart

With an effort so constrained

This is the venom in my veins

This is the venom in my veins

Created and cured by the same

This is the venom in my veins

I've spoken reckless words

And I know I've built a bed of unrest

That destroys my heart once I lay my head down

Destroys the crutches that I've built

I thought they were sound

We are the reasons for health and light

For illness and weakness

It will flow from my body to yours

An infection that can't be cured

We are the reasons for health and light

For illness and weakness

We will tear through these holds

We will tear through these holds

Or we will keep them strong

We are the reasons for health and light

For illness and weakness

We will tear through these holds

Or we will keep them strong

We will keep them strong

With an effort so constrained

This is venom in my veins

Created, cured by the same

By the same

I've chosen selfless over selfishness

I've left a bed of disgust and unrest

Destroyed the crutches that I built myself

I found that they were never sound

It won't consume my heart anymore

And I know I've built a bed of peace

That restores my heart once I lay my head down

Rebuilds the crutches that I destroyed myself

I plead to change my life, just before I dream

And wake to realize that change is inside me

We are the reasons for health and light

For illness and weakness

We will tear through these holds

We will tear through these holds

Or we will keep them strong

We are the reasons for health and light
