lyrics

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 til 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 til 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 til I choke and scream
The reckoning
Blood fills my lungs, it's what reminds me
Reminds me to breathe

Reckoning
The reckoning
