Lyrics

Cadmium

A serious end

The serious air is calling

But look around

Look around

Isn't the atmosphere charming?

Chorus

Why do we ever go outside anymore?

The air in here is cadmium red

Why do we ever go outside anymore?

The air in here is fine

I let you live inside my lungs

You couldn't leave anyway

I'll build you up 'til you are strong

'til i can't breathe anyway

Hit the one that's self-destruct

It's marked especially

It's easy to read

We'll light one up and celebrate our disease

Chorus hit self-destruct

It's marked especially

It's easy to read
