All music written and arranged by I Was Awake
All words by Chris Harvey

lyrics

A force of all this deconstruction, surrender all priority.
This virus has proved quite contagious.
Stench and adoration running rampant.

Come on, tell me this is healthy.
These pills (the common thread), remedy.
The cure, this disease
Can’t stop, can’t kill, what you feed.

Full on, short ideology
Dismiss all ugly stability.
I’ve grown tired, tired of this story…
Her life, their loss, this will never be clean.

Feeling everything.
Feeding that need.

Go on and take, you will take away
Upon your pulpit, recovery from this chemical constant.
Jesus Christ, how do you sleep at night?
Defile and conquer, the quickest collector.
Contagion, chemical constant.

Brought on, a simple medication
A bribe (the common cause), feed that seed.
Deceive, tempt this sobriety
Can’t stop, can’t kill, what you need.
Now then, tell me this is healthy.
Branded, a symbol so unholy.
Cowards cower, papers as security
Dismiss all ugly instability.

Go on and take, you will take away
Upon your pulpit, recovery from this chemical constant.
Jesus Christ, how do you sleep at night?
Defile and conquer, the quickest collector.
Contagion, chemical constant.

Can’t stop, can’t leave, closure, a need to come clean.
Without a friend, without that need…
To not tell stories of recovery…

Come on, this isn’t healthy
Can’t stop, feed the need
Their lives, worth more than this
Convince them all to give a shit.

Convince them all.
