lyrics

erupt again 
ignore the pill
i won't let it show
sacrifice the tortures
orchestral tear cash-flow
increase delete escape defeat 
it's all that matters to you
cotton case for an iron pill
burn my knees burn my knees and pray
distorted eyes when everything is clearly dying
all my friends say "get up get up get up"
e-motion sickness to idle with and idol
addict with no heroine 
good things will pass
it helps with excess, access lessons learnt
lost no friendship 
corrosive head pollution lessons learnt
