Disassociate the sickness streaming from your head
Sift the wine from the river you’ve been floating in
Numb the words that you spoke so loud in black and white
To color your blank canvas in the dead of night
So stop treading where the light won’t shine
My head is under water again and I can’t breathe
You’re waiting to save my life
Cause if we just make believe that we have nothing to say
They will spite the ground that we walked upon in those better days
And if we just make believe that divinity is lost
Then we will have bit the hand that feeds us
So stop treading where the light won’t shine
It won’t bear the fruit you’re seeking
It’s not a flower poised to bloom
It’s not a flower no it never was
