Radiation from Overcome by Rain Johannes

And the bully wants to call you names
Keep you playing in his nightmare games
You have the right to be silent, so you close your mouth

Hear them talking 'bout the end of days
Hear them say it on the radio waves
That kind of thing doesn't faze me if I tune it out

But you start feeling the sickness
So you start begging forgiveness

Radiation in my bones
It's a pain I've never known
When your life is on the line
You'll lie and say you're fine

Radiation from the sun
Touching down on everyone
And my skin is turning gold
Radiation

And the one you love has fallen out
Box of tissues and you're lonely now
But you refuse to feel sadness, so you fill yourself with rage

Pass the blame on everyone but you
It's the only thing you know to do
They say that hate is a poison that you drink yourself

So you start feeling the sickness
And you start begging forgiveness

Radiation in my bones
It's a pain I’ve never known
When your life is on the line
You'll lie and say you're fine

Radiation from the sun
People playing, having fun
And the happiness they feel
Feeling totally unreal

Radiation from the sun
Touching down on everyone
And my skin is turning gold
