[Verse - 01:41]

No innocent exit when hope dies,

And claustrophobia buys my mind,

I ran to breathe contagious lies,

No reason for just living life.

Ripcord opens but my soul is cold,

With you I never felt more alone,

Skin never sweating dignity,

Kept my line beneath ecstacy.


[Pre-Chorus - 02:09]

This fragile prison of sanity,

An ocean wave to death babe,

Masochistic love going nowhere,

You're nothing, pestilence, a seed.


[Chorus - 02:24]

Lips I kiss just another plague,

Love can't fix the hole they made,

Condemned to rock N', oblivian's all we know.
