Built upon this filth and disease
Of a life you swear forsaken
Battered dreams and broken truths
There was a life once if I'm not mistaken

But along the way, you got caught in the ride
The glitter of this neon nightmare
Playing skin to win and picking spit over swallow
Losing footing on these icy stairs

You're headless - in what you've chosen so far
You're headless - burning out like a star
You're hopeless - your falling farther in
You're hopeless - in everything you've been

Leviathan in sweet repose
Goddammit you're the devil's due
Never would have picked you as the candidate
But there were things I just never knew

Driven by a slow decay
Using sex to fill the holes
Fucking for food, fucking for the bills
Fucking just so you could make yourself whole

You're headless - in what you've chosen so far
You're headless - burning out like a star
You're hopeless - your falling farther in
You're hopeless - in everything you've been

Now the sex is disease
You will do as I please
Take your seat in the row
Usher in the new show
You have tried your hand
Now I take the stand
Have you fallen this far?
Have I fallen this far?
Have I fallen this far?
