I start to hold my breath

'Cause I believe I need a fix more than air

It's like a new hierarchy

Built on self destruction and despair

Forgoing basic needs

To suffer from disease

But to no end this leads

The cycle repeats

The cycle repeats

Even though I know it destroys me

We are self poisoning

While believing that it will set us free

Blood fills my lungs till I choke and scream

The reckoning

Blood fills my lungs, it's what reminds me

Reminds me to breathe

Welcome the reckoning

The pain that prompts me to do something

That my instinct should already be doing on its own

The cycle repeats

Even though I know it destroys me

Why are we are self poisoning

While believing that it will set us free?

Blood fills my lungs till I choke and scream

The reckoning

Blood fills my lungs, it's what reminds me

Reminds me to breathe

A better life of redemption

Is only a simple breath away

But I keep suffocating

From insisting that I already know everything

But there will be a reckoning

Brought to the surface to set us free

What we hide will see the light

No matter how hard we try to hold it inside

But there will be a reckoning

Blood fills my lungs till I choke and scream

The reckoning

Blood fills my lungs, it's what reminds me

Reminds me to breathe
