[Intro: Tim Lambesis]

The worst form of illness

Is  one that goes undiagnosed

Subtle  decay secretly spread

A cancer of the soul

A cancer... a cancer of the soul

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis]

We  are all dying

Some  of us just faster than our friends

But pointing to a greater fault

Won't  cure what we have hidden

I used to be able to pretend

But I can no longer hide from who I am

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis]

My deceit was displayed for all to see

The  only thing that could've saved me

[Chorus 1: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]

Only after we've fallen

Can we then find the cure

Looking up from the bottom

When dust settles, it's clear

When the dust settles‚ it's clear

[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis]

It's so easy to believe

That you are nothing like me

'Cause your deceit

Is lesser and yet to be seen

But doesn't that change

What you're hiding?

[Chorus 2: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]

Only after we've fallen

Can we find the cure

Looking up from the bottom

When dust settles‚ it's clear

Only after we've fallen

Can we then find the cure

Looking up from the bottom

When dust settles‚ it's clear

Only after we've fallen

Can we then find cure

[Breakdown: Tim Lambesis]

We are all dying

A cancer of the soul

We are all dying

A cancer of the soul

[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]

A heart that is bound by snakes

With a mind that sprouting wings

A dangerous combination

That fails to address our infection

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis]

My deceit was displayed for all to see

The only thing that could have saved me

[Chorus 3: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]

Only after we've fallen

Can we then find the cure

Looking up from the bottom

When dust settles, it's clear

Only after we've fallen

Can we then find the cure

Looking up from the bottom

When dust settles, it's clear

Only after we've fallen

We are all dying (dying)

[Outro: Tim Lambesis]

But will we find the cure?

Only after we have fallen

Looking up from the bottom

It seems so clear
