Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Swallow societal bile
We are all dying to live in denial
No rat king, no halcyon dream
Beyond the reaches of suffering
[Chorus]
Sick in life, dying in debt
Left to rot with all the rest
The survivor's disease
Has given me everything that I need to stop
Before I become a broken man
[Bridge]
The venom of my fantasies
Addicted to pure misery
I no longer recognize myself or what I have become
[Chorus]
Sick in life, dying in debt
Left to rot with all the rest
The survivor's disease
Has given me everything
[Bridge]
And I don't wanna live in this fatalistic
Sick, fucking twisted
Exiling existence
[Bridge]
I am the only one
Who can make it stop
No stationary, stagnant life
I am my own god
I am the only one
Who can make it stop
No stationary, stagnant life
I am my own god
[Outro]
I am the only one
Who can make it stop
No stationary, stagnant life
I am my own god
