we are the reasons

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. 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.
