Bubble in my Bloodstream

Someone caught a bullet in the underpass
And I heard rumours on the street about these freaky gangs
But this is monochromatic
No, I can't stand it
They're in the shadows
Lurking in the shadows
Yeah
So now I'm whispering a prayer

This tepid hell
I know it well
It's like a bubble in my bloodstream
Stem the flow and watch me swell
Yeah watch me swell

It's the bubble in my bloodstream
It's the itch I can't possibly scratch
It's the congenital condition I'd hoped was in remission
That inevitably came back
It's the bubble in my bloodstream, yeah, yeah, yeah
