Thought Contagion
Daniel Ferri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been bitten by someone hungrier than you
You've been bitten by a true believer
You've been bitten by someone's false beliefs
Strung out falling from the big time
Welcome to the infinite black skies
Brain clans fractured identity
Fragments and scattered debris
Prop me up before I black out
Withdraw before you're out of time
A clean slate and buried war crimes
You've been bitten by a true believer
You've been bitten by someone hungrier than you
You've been bitten by a true believer
You've been bitten by someone's false beliefs
You've been bitten by a true believer
You've been bitten by someone hungrier than you
You've been bitten by a true believer
You've been bitten by...
You've been bit by a true believer
You've been bit by someone hungrier then you
You've been bit by a true believer
You've been bitten by...
