Killer Within

Oh sickness, oh sickness-

Why do I try-

When I already know you won't ever die-

I feel you under my skin-

In my veins-

Creeping out of my pores-

I'm tired of you-

Or maybe I'm tired because of you-

Either way I wish you would go-

But sadly as clear as day you've made me your home-

Oh sickness, oh sickness-

Why do we play these games-

Even with you gone I will never be the same-

You'd just come back and bring me more pain-

Everything I taste is like sharp metal and blood-

You've even killed my tastebuds not just my mind and lungs-

This has gone too far my old friend-

My life is slowly wasting-

Oh sickness, oh sickness-

How long will I be catering you this time-

Feeding myself to you-

Killing pieces of me more and more every time-

They say medicine will work-

But not all the time-

So I'm stuck with you this time again-

Oh sickness, oh sickness-

Will the torture ever end-

They say to stay positive and you will win-

But I was never a positive person to begin-

Oh sickness, oh sickness-

It's like you're my very best friend-

You're always there-

And you know all my secrets-

You know how much I hate the medicine-

How stupid I think some of the doctors are-

How much I love the rain and wind-

But I'll keep fighting you-

Maybe one day I'll actually win-

Oh sickness, oh sickness-

Here we go again.
