[Verse 1]
Transcend
We try to rip the shell away
Into the void without a trace
The countermeasure you have now
Won't do a thing
It won't stick
The ugly truth is here
Go on and disappear, love
The crooked smile we fake
Is that the best we get? (x2)
[Chorus]
This is the thing that swallows you whole
Don't give away what you wanted so long
There's no more words no more reasons
Not one more lie you can feed us
Oh you know all the things we loathe
We become it
[Refrain]
I defeated it we will become this
[Verse 2]
Resist
You bite your tongue and stay asleep
That's all the dirt that we need
The guilty pleasure you came for fed your disease
It don't stick the lines are blurred and grey
Go on and try to kill love
And that's your last mistake
Is that the thanks we get?
Yeah, that's the thanks we get
[Chorus]
[Refrain](x2)
[Bridge]
If I was wrong, then shut me down
You open up surrendered
All things must end but not today
But you don't know what gives us hope
Enough to move forward
[Chorus]
I defeated it we will become this
I defeated it we will become
