[Verse 1]
Sending current down the barbed wire
Burning currency in bonfires
There’s no why
And are you passenger or crew?
The time you kill is killing you
Too much, too soon

Bending light despite
Hiding behind the tipping of the scales
[Chorus]
Trying to untangle the knot
Everything slips right through your shaking hands
Whether we ask for it or not
To live is to suffer again and again
[Verse 3]
