Lyrics

Chasing Death

[Verse 1]

You can never truly see

Inside the ones you know

Until you've found them near

The edge of self-control

All I hear are lies

You're lying to yourself

And everything is out of control

You're just a fuckin' slave of discontent

I'm sick of watching you dig this hole

[Pre-Chorus]

Time waits—for no one

Won't stop—it can't be outrun

You know—that pain in your head

Won't stop till the desperation ends

[Chorus]

You've found yourself chasing death

Oblivious until the end

You'll never stop chasing death

[Verse 2]

Innocence, common sense, I don't see the relevance

Of anything that you've got to say

Parasite, socialite, you're never gonna win this fight

There is no fucking easy way out

No easy way out

[Verse 3]

I know I should have seen it all coming

But I had to find it out on my own

A whore to incompetence, you hide behind

The shadow that once was your throne

Control is a discipline even when

Frustration just stands in your way

The throes of insanity feel just like

A war inside you every day

[Lead – King]

[Verse 3 Reprise]

I know I should have seen it all coming

But I had to find it out on my own

A whore to incompetence, you hide behind

The shadow that once was your throne

Control is a discipline even when

Frustration just stands in your way

The throes of insanity feel just like

A war inside you every day

[Pre-Chorus]

Time waits—for no one

Won't stop—it can't be outrun

There's just—no way of knowing

How long—paranoia's growing

Can't stop the poison winning

Please—just take away this feeling

You know—that pain in your head

Won't stop until the desperation ends

[Chorus]

You've found yourself chasing death

Oblivious until the end

You'll never stop until you're dead

[Outro]

Innocence, common sense, I don't see the relevance

Of anything that you've got to say

Parasite, socialite, you're never gonna win this fight

There is no fucking easy way out

No easy way out

No easy way out

No easy way out

No easy way out
