  • Immunity
    Long overdue
    Contagion
    I exhale you
    Naive
    I opened up to you
    Venom in mania

    Now, contagion
    I exhale you

    The deceiver says, he says
    You belong to me
    You don't wanna breathe the light of the others
    Fear the light
    Fear the breath
    Fear the others for eternity
    But I hear them now inhale the clarity
    Hear the venom, the venom in
    What you say inoculated

    Bless this immunity
    Bless this immunity
    Bless this immunity

    Exhale, expel
    Recast my tale
    Read my allegorical elegy

    Enumerate
    All that I'm to do
    Calculating steps away from you
    My own
    Mitosis
    Growing through
    Delusion from mania

    Exhale, expel
    Recast my tale
    Weave my allegorical elegy

    Forfeit
    All control
    You poison
    You spectacle

    Exorcise the spectacle
    Exorcise the malady
    Exorcise the disparate
    Poison for eternity
    Purge me and evacuate
    The venom and the fear that binds me

    Unveil now
    Lift away
    I see you
    Running

    Deceiver
    Chased away
    A long time
