Consuming Life (Live at Level 21, 1986) Lyrics

The pain in your soul becomes pain in your chest

As someone dies unnaturally

Because they cheated on their test

Forgetting the past because it hurts so much

It hurts so much and we laugh

It hurts so much it embarrasses us

And we laugh

Someone knows you're lying

And your pride bites back

Someone knows you're lying

And your pride bites back

But you feel there's something lacking still

Consuming life in other ways

Consuming life in abstract ways

Consuming life until it's gone away

Consuming life until it's gone away

Feel there's something lacking still

Consuming life in other ways

Consuming knowledge in painful ways

Consuming life until it's gone away

Gone away
