  • With aversion this distortion came so swiftly
    Cut the cord from this day forward, we'll be drifting
    No direction, no affection, watch the soul dive
    You're dissected, resurrected, still don't know why
    This illness is like a monster that is
    Eating us alive

    Hold on, be strong
    So right, so wrong
    With all of our senses, all of our defenses
    Hold on, be strong

    New arrival, our survival still not certain
    What's a virtue, where do you go to when you're hurting?
    It's a weakness, it's a sickness in the gene pool
    Show no mercy, people here say "Kill the damned fool"
    This illness is like a monster that is
    Eating us alive

    Hold on, be strong
    So right, so wrong
    With all of our senses, all of our defenses
    Hold on, be strong

    My
    Soul
    Blood
    Run

    Don't ever let me go, no
    Don't ever let me go, no
    Never, never let you go, no
    I'll never let you go, no

    Hold on, be strong
    So right, so wrong
    With all of our senses, all of our defenses
    Hold on, be strong Writer/s: Graham Edwards, James Christian Shaffer, Jonathan Howsman Davis, Lauren Christy, Reginald Arvizu, Scott Spock, Zachary Ryan Baird
