Lyrics:

We are not what we once were.
We have trained ourselves to need what we don’t have,
It’s so sad to know that we won’t make it much longer.
Why are we so needy when the end is near?

I feel the shame
But I indulge with you, I love it so much.
I was an addict, a desperate young man,
But now I'm an animal begging for more.
Is there anything that can save us? Oh god please.

We are America, the land of the free
Sex and self-loathing from sea to shining sea 
Each of us will lie to others
And take what we need from our dearest brothers
All we know is the present and the past
Our country will finally rest at last
We will grow up and begin to concede
And fall to our nation’s new creed

I have to drink the poison just to survive
Oh how I need it, its bitter-sweet sensation
   
We cannot slow down, we cannot stop,
We crave the distractions, we cannot sit still,
I can feel it affecting me and changing my ways.
Am I too weak to fight it? Or too far gone to want to?

We’ll run away from what makes us us,
Just to survive.

I will sing for the last time,
Goodbye to you and goodbye to this. 
The filth and the guilt that we all live in,
Will be the cause of this premature the end.


The Sickness We Carry

Less Odd

A little messed up, but it makes the next song sound pretty cool.
