Heartsounds - Race To The Bottom lyrics

Watch the temperature rise It's nothing I can control, nothing I can hide Every inner fiber aches for the warmth of what's inside And as I shed my skin, I'm born again A regeneration of human sin This lure of flesh is like a rush of d**h It awakens a sickness and resurrects The lowest throes buried deep in my bones I'm a slave to the marrow that lusts to control Can you hear it now? My guilty conscience playing on repeat So sweet is the sound of shameful defeat And though I swore I'd conquer this disease A biological war still rages inside of me Like a fire that begs on its knees for more kerosene My past mistakes recur in spades They never falter, no, they never stray Comfort to control, convince to maintain And this depraved path is like a transparent mask It reveals every thing I wish I lacked Take it all in one more time, I might never come back Can you hear it now? My guilty conscience playing on repeat So sweet is the sound of shameful defeat And though I swore I'd conquer this disease, A biological war still rages inside of me Like a fire that begs on its knees for more kerosene I'm begging on my knees
