Everything That Once Held It Together

The tension builds Until the threads detach Everything that once held it together Finally snaps Is it the mind that kills? Are we programmed this way? The greatest mistake If it's all just a fabricated decay Do we hold on for nothing? The light at the end just gets further away Cut out my eyes To make it disappear Leave me blind to it all When nothing matters here Can't find a reason to borrow time I've already sold what's mine Does the soul leave when we finally rest our eyes? Will there be closure for us if we don't say goodbye? Are we as lost as we feel? Is this all part of the plan? How do we know what's real When it always slips through our hands? It always slips through our hands We swallow chemicals for the taste Soaking the soil with poison We're draining the veins Every last drop The price that we pay Suppressed by disease It's all that we know As it spreads underneath As it spreads to every limb Choking again Hard to breathe with the air so thin So we suffocate It's our only fate Reduced to ashes Left to blow in the wind Never to be seen again Cut out my eyes To make it disappear Leave me blind to it all When nothing matters here Can't find a reason to borrow time I've already sold what's mine Are we as lost as we feel? I've already sold what's mine It's hard to know what's real Always searching Until we leave with nothing
