Only After We've Fallen

The worst form of illness is one that goes undiagnosed
Subtle decay secretly spread the cancer of the soul
The cancer, the cancer of the soul
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
My deceit was displayed for all to see
The only thing that could've saved me
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
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?
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
We are all dying
A cancer of the soul
We are all dying
A cancer of the soul
A heart that is bound by snakes with a mind that's sprouting wings
A dangerous combination that fails to address our infection
My deceit was displayed for all to see
The only thing that could have saved me
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
But will we find the cure?
Only after we have fallen
Looking up from the bottom
It seems so clear
