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
