it crept to me like a cancer in my sleep

it gnawed the meat right from these bones

and so it seems somewhere, somehow, the wonder was stole

and the truths we've held were squandered and sold

and these walls, these walls will find us

beggars, and liars, and whores

it's getting colder quicker

we're putting bets on who's quickest to leave

we've picked our poison, talked shit, but couldn't choke it down

we tap the vein, we taint the trust

this silver spoon's been licked to rust

if this is a test, we're failing
