Down by the ruins
Where we kids hung around
That day was the first day where I got contagioned
I got lost in my thoughts, floated away
I sailed on a wave of sound

I beat on everything I found
I felt it in my veins
Until my fingers were bleeding
Always messed around
Now it's time for the next step
What will my parents say?
Will they call me a bonehead?
It doesn't matter, too late

So here I am now, contagioned
And no, I am not alone
I'm here to stay, contagioned
A truth that is carved in stone

So many sticks are broken
So many dreams as well
But if you give me a ticket
I'll take the ride again
If there is nothing to rue
Nothing to be proud
What do we leave then?
Just a book with no pages

So here I am now, contagioned
And no, I am not alone
I'm here to stay, contagioned
A truth that is carved in stone

So here I am now, contagioned
And no, I am not alone
I'm here to stay, contagioned
A truth that is carved in stone
(Mhm, contagioned, contagioned)
