Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Immunity, long Overdue. Contagion, I exhale you
Naive, I opened up to you, venom and mania
Now Contagion, I exhale you
[Verse 2]
The Deceiver says, he says, "You belong to me. You don't wanna breathe the light of the others
Fear the light. Fear the breath. Fear the others for eternity"
But I hear them now. Inhale the clarity. I hear the venom, the venom in what you say
Inoculated. Bless this immunity
Bless this immunity
[Chorus]
Exhale. Expel. Recast my tale. Weave my allegorical elegy
[Verse 3]
Enumerate all that I'm to do. Calculating steps away from you
My own mitosis, growing through division from mania
[Chorus]
Exhale. Expel. Recast my tale. Weave my allegorical elegy
[Bridge]
Forfeit all control, you Poison, you Spectacle
Exorcize the Spectacle. Exorcize the malady
Exorcize the disparate poison for eternity
Purge me and Evacuate the Venom & the Fear that binds me
Your veil now, lift away
[Outro]
I see you running
Deceiver, chased away. A long time coming
Written by: Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor, Adam Jones, Maynard James Keenan
